Pumped liquids<br />

Thin, non-explosive liquids, not containing solid<br />

particles or fibers. The liquid must not chemically attack<br />

the pump materials. When pumping liquids with a<br />

density and/or viscosity higher than that of water,<br />

oversized motors must be used, if required.<br />

Whether a pump is suitable for a particular liquid<br />

depends on a number of factors of which the most<br />

important are the chloride content, pH value,<br />

temperature and content of chemicals, oils, etc.<br />

Please note that aggressive liquids (e.g. sea water and<br />

some acids) may attack or dissolve the protective oxide<br />

film of the stainless steel and thus cause corrosion. The<br />

<strong>CR</strong>(E), <strong>CR</strong>I(E), <strong>CR</strong>N(E) pump types are suitable for the<br />

following liquids:<br />

<strong>CR</strong>(E), <strong>CR</strong>I(E)<br />

• Non-corrosive liquids.<br />

For liquid transfer, circulation and pressure boosting of<br />

cold or hot clean water.<br />

<strong>CR</strong>N(E)<br />

• Industrial liquids.<br />

In systems where all parts in contact with the liquid<br />

must be made of high-grade stainless steel.<br />

<strong>CR</strong>T(E)<br />

• Saline liquids.<br />

• Hypochlorites.<br />

• Acids.<br />

For saline or chloride-containing liquids such as sea<br />

water or oxidizing agents such as hypochlorites,<br />

<strong>CR</strong>T(E) pumps of titanium are available. See separate<br />

product guide on <strong>CR</strong>T(E).<br />

List of pumped liquids<br />

A number of typical liquids are listed on the following<br />

pages.<br />

Other pump versions may be applicable, but those<br />

stated in the list are considered to be the best choices.<br />

The table is intended as a general guide only, and<br />

cannot replace actual testing of the pumped liquids and<br />

pump materials under specific working conditions.<br />

The list should, however, be applied with some caution<br />

as factors such as<br />

• concentration of the pumped liquid,<br />

• liquid temperature or<br />

• pressure<br />

may affect the chemical resistance of a specific pump<br />

version.<br />

Safety precautions must be made when pumping<br />

dangerous liquids.<br />

Notes<br />

D Often with additives.<br />

Density and/or viscosity differ from that of water.<br />

E Allow for this when calculating motor output and pump<br />

performance.<br />

Pump selection depends on many factors.<br />
