submersible slurry pump impeller

In this article, we will present practical guidelines and rules for slurry centrifugal pumps. We will also discuss key operating characteristics, material selection and other considerations.

Corrosiveness of the slurry

Corrosiveness of the slurry

Choosing the right material for a slurry pump is another key process in determining the right pump for handling slurry. If the slurry is highly abrasive with neutral pH, then the best material of construction is Hi-Chrome. this metallurgy has the highest Brinell hardness and can withstand the abrasiveness of the slurry.

- Pumping media where abrasive particles are present

Because of these requirements, slurry pumps are usually larger than their clear liquid counterparts. In addition, it usually sacrifices efficiency, i.e. maximum efficiency and efficiency throughout its operating range, in exchange for the ability to achieve good operation in these challenging services.
