PUMPTYPERECOMMENDATION

RemarkswithrespecttotheApplication

The suction velocity is high, usuals velocity criterium would result in a 6 inch line diameter 168.28 mm x wall 7.11
mm.

CentrifugalPump

A Centrifugal Pump is suitable for the specified operating conditions

If the particles are large, consider a progressive cavity (single screw) pump.

ReciprocatingPump

A Reciprocating Pump is Not recommended for this application

Reciprocating Pumps are not suitable for liquids that contain solids as this will cause problems with the valves

RotaryPump

A Rotary Pump is suitable for the specified operating conditions
