Pump Type

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Bilge / Ballast Pumps | Pumps used onboard boats and ships to remove water from the bilge or to load or remove water for ballast. | ||
| Centrifugal Pumps | Centrifugal pumps use a rotating impeller to add velocity to the liquid being pumped. Within the pump, the velocity of the liquid is generated by centrifugal force. The velocity of the solution is converted with internal restrictions within the pump into pressure. This type of pump is used for liquids that are water like in viscosity and when quantities of flow are large compared to the pressure requirements. | ||
| Dewatering Pumps | Designed for clear water applications (agricultural, industrial, and residential). As a general rule, dewatering pumps are limited to a 10% solids concentration and a solids size of 1/4 the diameter of the suction inlet. For applications requiring greater solids handling capability, trash pumps should be used. | ||
| Drum Pumps | Drum pumps are designed to transport or dispense the contents of drums, pails, or tanks. Pumps are driven by a variety of methods including hand operated, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic driven motors. Explosive environments or flammable fluids may require an intrinsically safe actuation method. | ||
| Flexible Impeller Pumps | Flexible impeller pumps contain an elastomeric impeller that traps fluid between blades and sweeps it through the pump housing. These low-cost utility pumps are ideal for general transfer. | ||
| Fountain Pumps | Pumps that are designed to supply flow to fountains. Fountains are used for esthetic purposes, as well as aeration in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. | ||
| Hand / Foot Pumps | Hand pumps are manually operated pumps that can be driven by hand or foot via a handle or lever. This manual external force actuates an internal mechanism, which increases pressure for moving fluids such as gas, chemicals, or water. | ||
| Magnetic Drive Pumps | Magnetic drive pumps are operated using a magnetic or electromagnetic drive. They are ideally suited to a variety of applications including laboratory, production line, chemical processing, general transfer utility, as well as OEM applications. | ||
| Micro Pumps | Micro pumps are essential for moving fluids in miniaturized systems. The working principal of a typical micro pump involves interaction of a flexible structure with the working fluid. The flexible structure is deformed using some actuation technique (e.g., piezoelectric or electrostatic actuation) and the deformation provides a positive displacement action for moving the working fluid. | ||
| Pool Pumps | Pumps that are used for circulation and filtration of pool water. Typically supplied with features like filters and strainers. | ||
| Refueling Pumps | Fuel handling pumps used for the refueling of machinery, automobiles, aircraft, watercrafts or other equipment. | ||
| Sampling Pumps | Pumps used for extracting a small amount media from its main body for analysis. | ||
| Siphon Pumps | Siphon pumps are typically manually operated and self powered once begun. The pump is used to begin the flow of fluid. Flow and gravity then draw fluid from one container to another. | ||
| Testing / Calibration Pumps | Pumps that are designed specifically for testing and or calibration purposes. | ||
| Submersible Pumps | These pumps are mounted in the tank with the solution. The motor is normally contained in an oil filled cavity that is protected for contact with the liquid by a lip or mechanical seal. They can be designed to pump large solids or grind solids to smaller sizes, transfer wastewater at large flow rates or high pressures, or just pick up water off the floor or the bottom of a tank. | ||
| Sump Pumps | A sump pump is an automatic water pump installed in a contained compartment to remove unwanted water build-up that threatens to encroach on living or equipment space. | ||
| Trash Pumps | Portable pump and power source typically for dewatering applications. Can handle media with high solids content. | ||
| Water Pumps | All types of pumps used to pump water. | ||
| Well Pumps | Pumps used for the extraction of water or slurry from the ground. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or specialized pumps. | ||
