Challenges faced by OEM in ensuring Reliability and optimizing the manufacturing cost of Centrifugal pumps for process/oil & gas industry.

Big challenge is determination of kind of materials of Construction of Centrifugal  Pump  to ensure the long-term Reliability to establish reputation of business with their potential clients in the market.

Wish to highlight here following points, to the best of my understanding, which process industry professionals may like to know. Centrifugal pumps are manufactured of almost all known common metals or metal alloys as well as of carbon, porcelain, glass, stoneware, hard rubber and even synthetics. Service Conditions and the nature of fluid pumped determine the most satisfactory materials. Some of the factors that enter into the selection of materials are given below:

1.    Discharge pressure

2.    Pumping liquid temperature

3.    Abrasiveness of suspended solids in the liquid

4.    Corrosion resistance

5.    Electrochemical action

6.     Head per stage

7.    Suitability of material to the structural features of the particular pump involved

8.    Load factor and expected duration of pumping installation
