Standard pumping equipment is in most cases not suitable for handling chemicals. For filtration and pumping of chemicals with a high level of acidity, a special chemical pump is required, designed with special protection against aggressive chemical Wednesdays. The material from which the pump is made will depend on the planned working medium. Therefore, when buying a chemical pump, you should definitely clarify this point to the manufacturer or seller, so that in the future there will be no misunderstandings and incidents.
Chemical pumps are now widely in demand around the world, because chemistry in its various forms is used in most areas of the industrial sphere. However, if water pumps in case of breakdowns are unlikely to lead to serious consequences, then working with hazardous chemicals requires compliance with all safety rules. Therefore, when buying a chemical pump, it is recommended not to strive for cheapness, but to take care of your safety and the safety of your production.
In the production of a chemical pump, as mentioned above, various materials and metal alloys can be used. Most often, the flow path of a chemical pump is made of chrome-nickel steel, chromium cast iron, titanium alloys or propylene. The list of metals used is actually much wider, but the above materials are the most common uses, although there are exceptions.
