The requirements for pump equipment vary greatly depending on the specific conditions. Blindly purchasing magnetic pumps often leads to low efficiency and frequent malfunctions. Therefore, mastering the selection criteria for corrosion-resistant magnetic pumps is of vital importance for enterprises to reduce operating costs and enhance production safety.
Key Points for Selecting Corrosion-Resistant Magnetic Pumps
Medium Characteristics
If transporting strong corrosive liquids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid, it is recommended to choose fluoroplastic magnetic pumps.
If the medium contains certain particles or crystals, it is advisable to choose the model with a wear-resistant bushing to avoid jamming.
For high-temperature media (above 120℃), a stainless steel magnetic pump should be used.
Flow rate and head
Flow rate is the core parameter for pump selection and should be determined reasonably based on process requirements and the backup coefficient. If the head is too low, it will result in insufficient delivery; if the head is too high, it will lead to energy waste and may cause cavitation.
Operating Environment
If there is flammable gas in the place, an explosion-proof motor should be selected.
If the transported medium has a high viscosity, it is necessary to consider increasing the power reserve.
Corrosion resistance lifespan
Different manufacturers have significant differences in material processing and assembly techniques. It is advisable to choose brands that have quality certifications and long-term industry experience.
Typical Application Cases
Nitric Acid Transportation in Chemical Plants: A chemical enterprise replaced its traditional mechanical seal pumps with fluoroplastic corrosion-resistant magnetic pumps. As a result, the number of leakage accidents was reduced by 8 per year, and maintenance costs were saved by 30%.
Electroplating waste liquid treatment: Using corrosion-resistant magnetic pumps, high-concentration acid and alkali waste liquids are transported to the neutralization tank, enabling continuous operation for over two years without any leakage.
Solvent transportation in pharmaceutical enterprises: Utilize stainless steel magnetic pumps to ensure that there is no secondary pollution during the drug liquid transportation process, and it complies with GMP requirements.
Summary
Correct selection of components and proper matching of operating conditions can significantly extend the service life of the corrosion-resistant magnetic pump by more than double, thereby maximizing the investment value of the equipment.
