The page covers magnetic-drive chemical transfer and metering equipment, along with other fluid-handling options. Select around compatibility and required flow control.

Transfer primarily moves a required volume between locations, while metering controls a dose to the process. Accuracy, adjustment range, and verification requirements influence the choice.

It can suit applications where a conventional dynamic shaft seal is undesirable. Review the liquid and operating limits before deciding whether a particular design is appropriate.

Entrained gas, inlet restrictions, changed backpressure, worn components, or calibration can affect output. Measure actual delivery under representative conditions before changing settings.

Available interfaces depend on the model. Specify required signals, adjustment range, alarms, and feedback before selecting the pump or controller.

Review compatibility, dosing demand, viscosity, vapor behavior, and the pump's usable range. A concentration change can affect both materials and the amount required by the process.

Identify every chemical, concentration, temperature, and cleaning fluid. Compatibility must cover the casing, seals, gaskets, bearings, and other wetted components, including any changes during the process.

Do not assume it can. Many designs depend on liquid for lubrication or cooling; follow the exact pump's operating limits and specify dry-run protection where appropriate.

Possible causes include gas in the suction line, restrictions, worn components, changed viscosity, or insufficient inlet pressure. Compare operating measurements with the selected pump's performance curve.

Follow the facility's isolation and spill-response procedures and have qualified personnel inspect the system. Provide the chemical details and operating conditions before arranging repair or replacement parts.

No. Removing a dynamic shaft seal addresses one leakage path, but piping joints, static seals, and containment components still need correct installation, compatible materials, and inspection.

Temperature changes viscosity, vapor pressure, and material limits. Review normal operation, startup, cleaning, and upset conditions so the pump remains suitable throughout the intended duty.

Follow the model's schedule and adjust inspection frequency for the fluid and operating history. Document containment condition, performance trends, and any protective-device alarms.

Often, but inspection must establish whether wetted parts and containment components remain serviceable. Provide decontamination information and compare repair scope with the cost and suitability of replacement.

Contact Process & Power at (901) 362-5500 with your location, equipment identification, and application or service concern. The team can review selection, parts, and service options for your needs.

Include the required duty, fluid or process details, operating conditions, utilities, and installation dimensions. For existing equipment, add nameplate photos, model and serial numbers, and a description of the problem or planned change.
