A primary concern in selecting materials for seawater applications is resistance to corrosion.
HI Pump FAQs
What are the important considerations when selecting a coupling between a pump and motor?
The main purpose for selecting a multistage pump is to efficiently operate in systems that require a high total head.
More power could be going into the motor than it is continuously designed for.
When galvanic corrosion is a concern, the chemical and physical properties of the material selected must be considered.
Some equipment may run at higher speeds and require a better balance grade to meet vibration standards.
Will a system curve look the same for pulp or viscous applications as it does for water?
VFDs are used to control the speed of both induction and synchronous motors.
Face treatments increase the opening force by hydrostatic or hydrodynamic methods.
The list of recommended spare parts will depend on the pumping design and other factors.
There are no fixed rules for selecting the pump type for a specific boiler feed application.
How is vibration due to structural resonance avoided in vertical pumps?
The type of driver coupled to a rotodynamic pump can have a significant impact on the pump vibration characteristics.
Metering pumps are characterized by their ability to meet specific performance requirements.
How can pump equipment reliability in wastewater treatment plants be measured and improved?
Not all valves are well suited for controlling system flow rate.
Three-phase alternating current (AC) induction motors are more common for commercial and industrial pumping applications than single-phase motors.
The type of water will influence the material selection and service life.
Digital pressure instruments can be equipped with a transmitter that sends a signal proportional to a data acquisition system.
