Wilfley Kpro®, K, and HD slurry pumps are very commonly used in lime slurry applications. Their unique design makes them almost perfect for this duty, but care must be taken in the inlet design to ensure proper operation. Kpro®, K, and HD are all designed with their... by Troy Zellers | May 13, 2014 | The Pump Experts
In Part 1, we discussed the driving factors for increasing fluid temperature as flow is decreased through a centrifugal pump. For convenience, water was considered as the fluid in the examples given. Although water is the world’s most prevalent liquid, it’s also the... by Troy Zellers | Apr 15, 2014 | The Pump Experts
As discussed in the February article on Low Flow Concerns in Centrifugal Pumps, one of the motives for establishing a minimum continuous safe flow rate (commonly abbreviated as MCSF) is temperature rise in the fluid. There are several causes of efficiency losses in... by Troy Zellers | Mar 18, 2014 | The Pump Experts
The widely referenced centrifugal pump standard known as ASME B73.1 can trace its origins as early as 1955, when efforts to develop chemical pump standards began. This later evolved into the American Voluntary Standard in 1962 and, in conjunction with a similar...
