A practical method for selecting pump type, duty point, materials, seal arrangement and motor without relying on catalogue flow alone.
Compare centrifugal and positive displacement pumps by flow behaviour, pressure, viscosity, control, protection and typical service.
Build a pump sourcing process around duty data, manufacturer capability, documentation, inspection and acceptance tests.
Understand available and required NPSH, cavitation risk and the installation details that protect pump suction performance.
Select mechanical seal faces, elastomers, arrangement and support system for pump fluid, pressure and temperature.
