In chemical, pharmaceutical, galvanic and many other industries, the handling of aggressive substances exposes plants to liquids that can easily deteriorate metals, polymers, seals and sealing systems. The choice of pumps for fluids<\/strong> Corrosive materials must take into account not only the substance being transported, but also the conditions under which the transfer takes place, considering key parameters such as concentration flow rate and materials. A component that is unsuitable or has incorrect design parameters can favor phenomena such as Corrosion, leaks, contaminations and unexpected shutdowns\u2014all extremely serious problems, especially for companies in the sector chemical.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acids, bases, solvents and process reagents<\/strong> They are very different from each other and should not be treated as a single category. In fact, even a small variation in their density or temperature can alter the fluid\u2019s behavior towards the materials. For this reason, the extremely high safety standards required require considering the system as a whole, from the construction of the body and impeller fins to the seals and the sealing system.<\/p>\n

To identify the solution most suited to the needs of your system, our staff is available to customers to explore further details. products and services dedicated to the transfer of chemical substances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is meant by a corrosive fluid?<\/h2>\n

A corrosive fluid chemically attacks the materials it comes into contact with, over time deteriorating the internal surfaces of the pump, the pipes, the seals and other components until compromising the tightness and performance of the equipment.<\/p>\n

Concentration, contact time and other present substances can significantly alter its effect on materials. A diluted acid, for example, may behave differently than the same acid at a higher concentration; similarly, increasing temperature can affect the durability of components.<\/p>\n

For this reason, when choosing pumps for fluids<\/strong> It is extremely important to verify the resistance of the materials actually used in the construction of the pump and to determine whether they are suitable for the actual operating conditions.<\/p>\n

Which aggressive substances are transferred more frequently?<\/h3>\n

Some are used for reactions and treatments, others for cleaning, degreasing or adjusting process parameters. Among them: aggressive fluids<\/a> The most frequently handled items include:<\/p>\n
