Gear pump selection guide

NEWS 25390
  1. Determine the pump’s purpose
    · Conveying medium: Understand the type of liquid to be transported, such as oil, acid lye, solvent, etc. Determine the viscosity, corrosiveness, and abrasiveness of the liquid.
    Flow requirements: Determine the required flow rate, generally calculated according to the working requirements of the system or the needs of the piping system design.
    · Pressure requirements: Determine the working pressure required by the gear pump according to the requirements of the pressure head of the system. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the maximum pressure of the system matches the rated pressure of the pump.
  2. Liquid characteristics
    · Temperature: The temperature range of the delivered liquid has an important impact on the choice of materials and pump structure, and high or low temperature liquids require the selection of specific materials.
    · Viscosity: Liquids with different viscosity require different types of gear pumps. Low viscosity liquids may require an internal gear pump, while high viscosity liquids may require an external gear pump.
    Corrosive and abrasive: When transporting corrosive or abrasive liquids, it is necessary to choose a corrosion-resistant material (such as stainless steel) or a pump with anti-wear properties.
  3. Pump material
    · Pump body material: Suitable pump body material is selected according to the corrosiveness of the conveying medium and the working environment. Common materials include cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.
    · Sealing material: Select the appropriate sealing structure and material according to the medium and pressure (such as mechanical seal, packing seal, etc.).
  4. Working conditions
    · Suction conditions: If the pump needs to suck liquid from a low level, check whether the suction height is in line with the allowable suction height of the gear pump.
    · Environmental conditions: Whether there are dust, corrosive gas, moisture and other adverse factors in the working environment, which will affect the life and performance of the gear pump.
    · Power supply conditions: determine the power supply mode (AC, DC), and ensure that the motor power meets the working requirements of the gear pump.
  5. Type of pump structure
    · Internal gear pump: suitable for high viscosity media, with smooth output and low noise characteristics.
    · External gear pump: simple structure, suitable for a wide range of flow and pressure, but the efficiency is slightly lower when conveying high viscosity media.
    Dual pump, triple pump: When the system requires multiple different pressures or flows, you can choose a multistage gear pump.

  1. Pump efficiency and performance
    · Volumetric efficiency: It affects the flow stability of the pump, and the flow loss of the pump with high volumetric efficiency is small.
    · Mechanical efficiency: determined by the friction of the pump, gear accuracy, lubrication and other factors, a pump with high mechanical efficiency can reduce energy consumption.
  2. Other considerations
    · Maintenance cost: Choose models that are easy to maintain and easy to obtain, which can reduce the maintenance cost in the later period.
    · Safety: If used in flammable and explosive environments, it is necessary to choose a gear pump with explosion-proof certification.
    · Noise: Some applications have high noise requirements, and it is necessary to choose a gear pump with low noise.
  3. Brand and after-sales service
    · Brand reliability: Choose a brand with good reputation to ensure product quality and after-sales service.
    · Spare parts supply: understand the supply of spare parts of the pump, and ensure that the loss parts can be replaced in time during later maintenance.
