Key Considerations for Selecting Chemical Pumps

In chemical production processes, the selection of chemical pumps directly affects production efficiency and operational safety. TEFFIKO, with extensive experience in the chemical pump field, understands that due to the complex nature of media and diverse working conditions in the chemical industry, selection requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, always centered on meeting production needs. This ensures enterprises choose suitable chemical pump equipment for complex working conditions and guarantees stable production operations.


Ⅰ. Focus on Media Characteristics


The physical and chemical properties of the medium are the core basis for pump selection. Different media have varying corrosiveness, and some may contain solid particles, which can affect the pump's flow-through components. Meanwhile, the viscosity of the medium alters flow patterns, impacting pumping efficiency. Additionally, attention should be paid to whether the medium is volatile, prone to crystallization, or has other properties, as these factors determine the pump's sealing method and structural design.

Ⅱ. Evaluate Operating Conditions


Accurate matching of actual operating parameters is essential. Pressure requirements during transportation determine the pump's head range, while the medium flow rate is related to the pump's flow parameter. Temperature conditions in the operating environment cannot be ignored either—excessively high or low temperatures can affect material performance and sealing effectiveness. Pipeline layout in the system, including pipeline length and number of elbows, also indirectly influences pump selection.

Ⅲ. Prioritize Material Selection


Pump materials must be compatible with the medium's characteristics. For corrosive media, corrosion-resistant materials should be used for flow-through components; for media containing particles, wear-resistant materials are chosen to extend equipment lifespan. Simultaneously, the mechanical strength of materials must meet operational pressure requirements to prevent leaks or damage caused by material inadequacies.

Ⅳ. Ensure Safety and Compliance


The selection of chemical pumps must comply with industry safety standards. Equipment should have reliable sealing performance to prevent medium leakage and potential safety hazards. Pumps used for transporting flammable or explosive media require corresponding explosion-proof designs. Furthermore, operational stability and maintenance convenience should be considered to ensure continuous and safe production processes.


Ⅴ. Summary


Selecting chemical pumps requires focusing on meeting needs and comprehensively balancing core factors. Media characteristics determine sealing and structural design; operating conditions affect head, flow rate, and stability; materials must align with media properties to prevent leaks. Only by comprehensively coordinating these factors can high-quality chemical pumps suitable for chemical production be selected.

TEFFIKO, with deep expertise in pump manufacturing, understands these key selection criteria. Whether for media compatibility, operational matching, or safety assurance, TEFFIKO responds to the core needs of chemical pump selection through professional design, helping enterprises choose high-quality and suitable chemical pumps.
