Does it have special chemical or corrosive requirements? Is it clean or does it contain particles (slurry)?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eViscosity\u003c\/strong\u003e – The viscosity of your process fluid is also important. More viscous fluids require more robust pumps to move them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlow rate\u003c\/strong\u003e – You need to know how much liquid you need to move per unit time in order to choose both the correct size pump and the correct size of piping.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePressure\u003c\/strong\u003e – The pressure will also be a major factor, one that is intertwined with the flow rate, in choosing an appropriate pump. Refer to your pump’s “pump curve” graph to help determine the relationship between flow and pressure.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – Your choice of pump necessarily need to depend on the temperature of the liquid being pumped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e What are the key factors for diaphragm pump maintenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe good news is that AOD pumps are comparatively easy to maintain. Importantly, and like every other pump, a regularly scheduled maintenance is crucial. You want to monitor things over time, to prevent mishaps before they happen. There are essentially 4 main things to keep an eye on during the life of an AOD pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the quality of the air used to operate the pump. Air can come in many different qualities with various amounts of water. Impurities are removed by an in-line air-filter.
