We will be discussing about the selection of gear pump for Polyol with fillers added in it. Before going to the selection, let us first understand about the Types and Uses of POLYOLS and FILLERS.
P…
AODD pumps have been gaining popularity since last couple of decades & now find their presence in every industrial segment because of their ability to pump wide range of fluids. Let it be corrosive, a…
A pump is mechanical device which is used to transfer fluid from one point to another point, usually from lower elevation to higher elevation. The pump performs this action with the help of a prime mo…
Transformer is one of the main assets in the electrical power industry which needs to be maintained for guaranteed uninterrupted power transmission. Transformer oils are important for the functional t…
According to the Hydraulic Institute (HI) pumps are classified in two families i.e, positive displacement and centrifugal (roto-dynamic), both having their best areas of application and uses. However,…
Before starting with the selection of the pump, let us first understand about the uses, types and properties of Isocyanates.
Isocyanates are a family of highly reactive, low molecular weight chemic…
Factors to be considered while selecting the AODD pump are as follows:
1.Fluid – The most important factor to be considered is the Type, Composition and Nature of the fluid in order to avoid th…
CASE STUDY
For a petrochemical plant, customer ordered an Air Operated Double Diaphragm pump to lift water from an underground pit for intermittent application. The pit was 5 meter deep and custome…
Diaphragms separate air and liquid chambers of an AODD (Air Operated Double Diaphragm) Pump. Failure of diaphragm will not only stop the pump operation but also result in leakage of the process fl…
Indisputably, mechanical seal failure is the most common cause of pump downtime. Operators and engineers in plants of all sizes and industries will vouch for it. In this blog, we will talk about most …
One day Mr. Pandey, operator at a chemical plant, was overseeing the raw material unloading from the truck to the storage tank. The pump for unloading this thick raw material was a positive displaceme…
Though the world has become interconnected and there is standardization of most technological products, yet companies cling to the units they follow traditionally for various liquid/ system parameters…
In a Dec 2008 survey of industrial pump users, top three of 12 identified needs were “eliminating leakage”, “simple installation, operation, and maintenance”, and “minimizing energy uses.” Any pump us…
Few years ago, Mr. Pandey, operations manager at a chemical plant, called me, “This new gear pump I bought from you a week back is no good.”
I probed, “Pandeyji, why do you think this pump is n…
The question begs asking, “Everyone knows centrifugal pumps are best suited for handling thin liquids. Why even bother whether PD pumps will work for such applications?”
Before we address this,…
In our engagement with industry for the past several years, as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of PD pumps, we found that people value the wealth of knowledge we have. Every time we shared th…
