Materially improve pump performance
Article Abstract:
Pumps are available in a variety of materials and the type of material used is key to understanding which pump type to use under which condition. Composites consisting of precise blends of carbon and graphite are used to construct pumps that offer protection against dry running and thermal shock. Diamond coatings provide wear and chemical resistance, but are costly. Sintered alumina is ideal for lower-duty applications such as hot- water circulation pumps. Other materials are chemical vapor-reacted graphite, sintered silicon carbides and reaction-bonded silicon carbide.

SteriLobe Series
Article Abstract:
Viking Pump's SteriLobe Series is comprised of positive-displacement rotary lobe pumps with capacities of over 1,000 gal/min. The pumps can handle fluid viscosities up to 2,000,000 SSU and pressures up to 220 psig. They feature a four-lobe design that provides nearly pulseless transfer or metering or virtually any fluid, from water to viscous or shear-sensitive liquids.
