Choosing the right magnetic drive pump is critical for stable fluid handling. Many failures result from incorrect material selection, wrong flow/head calculation, or ignoring fluid characteristics. This guide outlines how to select the correct pump efficiently and safely.
? 1. Core Selection Parameters
Flow Rate (Q)
Defines the required liquid volume.
Head (H)
Represents system resistance and pressure requirement.
Fluid Details
-
Temperature
-
Corrosiveness
-
Viscosity
-
Density
-
Solid particles
? 2. Quick Material Decision Map
? PP → General acids、alkalis
? PVDF → Strong acids、high temperature
? SS316L → Solvents、oils
? PTFE → Extreme corrosive chemicals
? Common Selection Errors
| Error | Impact | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing cheapest pump | Frequent failures | Match materials properly |
| Ignoring temperature | Deformation/leaks | Provide accurate temp data |
| Solids in fluid | Sleeve damage | Use filters or reinforced bearings |
| Excessive pump head | Energy waste | Calculate system resistance accurately |
