Attributes to Expect from a Magnetic Turbine Pump

A magnetic turbine pump is regarded as the most appropriate pump for low-flow, high-head applications that deal with toxic fluids. Such applications have very stringent zero-leakage specifications as they are governed by several toxic emissions regulations. Safety is of prime importance in such applications, thus compelling all firms to opt for the magnetically-driven regenerative turbine pump.

Such a pump should ideally have the ability to pump fluids and liquids that comprise anywhere up to 20% of entrained gases. If there is a pumping application that entails thin liquids or non-lubricating liquids, such pumps are considered to be the apt device. Similarly, where high differential pressures are involved one will find these pumps being used.

Here are some other desirable features that you can expect from a magnetic turbine pump:

• If the pump is designed to efficiently handle high-head and low flow pumping applications, you can eliminate the need for bypass requirements.

• Another important aspect of the design and manufacture of the pump is a heavy-duty alloy casing that can endure some of the most demanding applications. Similarly, it needs to have a heavy-duty containment shell for maximum longevity.

• The impellers present in the pump are of utmost important. The last thing the user wants during mission-critical operations is a frozen impeller. To counter this problem, you might want to verify if the chosen magnetically-driven regenerative turbine pump has hydraulically as well as dynamically balanced impellers.
• Additionally, an impeller that is capable of being replaced can bring down your maintenance costs by a certain percentage. Similarly, a quick-change rear cartridge assembly also translates into lower maintenance costs and ease of servicing.

There are two varieties in which a magnetic turbine pump is available. These include an alloy pump and a plastic pump range. While the alloy pumps are best suited for use with corrosive, toxic, caustic, and other EPA monitored liquid/fluid chemicals. On the other hand, the plastic pumps are preferred when very low wear is required. These pumps are also in demand for their excellent resistance to chemicals. Furthermore, they resist exte
al corrosion because of the nature of high quality PP or PVDF casing. Plastic pumps are available in Self-Siphoning and Self-Priming varieties.

There are several things to consider when investing in such pumps, especially if it is your first such investment in a mag-turbine pump. For instance, the range of temperatures that can be handled by the pump, the viscosity of fluids that can be handled, and the materials used for manufacturing various internal as well as exte
al components of the pump should be verified before making a purchase. A magnetic drive pump is used in a variety of industrial sectors including but not limited to refineries, chemical processing, cement, pulp and paper and so on.
