Stainless steel pumps are very widely used in many branches of industry and agriculture. Stainless tanks are recommended for use in a humid environment and are produced in accordance with EU standards. Inox stainless steel is produced various types of pumps, from vortex and membrane pumps, through screw and peristaltic pumps to gear pumps.
Stainless steel pumps Inox
Inox stainless steel pumps have a PZH certificate and a high class of protection against water and dust. They are adapted to continuous operation and support liquids with high maximum temperature. Inox stainless steel has special physicochemical properties and is completely resistant to corrosion. Steel does not oxidize or under the influence of atmospheric factors or acids and alkaline solutions, because it is protected against this appropriate alloy add -ons. The most important of them is chrome, the content of which cannot be less than 11%. The higher the chrome content, the greater the Inox steel resistance to high temperatures. Stainless steel is also used in pump production because the products made of it are adapted for use in the moderate or very aggressive environment.
Stainless steel pumps are used in many branches of industry and agriculture, as well as in households. Stainless pumps supply households and industrial plants with water, are used to increase water pressure and irrigation, they are used in the heating and refrigerated industry, they can also use them to pour liquid media with specific properties. Stainless pumps are also used in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Aisi 304 and 316 steel in pump production
The production of pumps uses four basic types of stainless steel, whose classification criterion is the percentage of individual alloy add -ons. In this way, you can distinguish Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic and Ferritic-Austenitic Steel. Austenitic Aisi 304 steel is most often used for pump production. Aisi 304 steel is characterized by excellent usefulness for plastic and welding. It is resistant to corrosion in the atmospheric environment, natural water, alkaline solutions and some organic and inorganic acids. It is commonly called stainless. AISI 304 steel pumps can pump clean water, glycol, solutions of non -aggressive substances, oils and liquids with high temperatures, sea and demineralized water, as well as light acids and bases. Aisi 304 steel is about 30% cheaper than related steel Aisi 316, which is why the pumps made of it also belong to economic solutions in financial terms.
Aisi 316 steel with additional molybdenum content, which increases corrosion resistance, is an eagerly used alternative to this species in the production of pump bodies. AISI 316 steel, i.e. a popular acid is resistant to pitcal corrosion in the presence of chlorides, which is why the pumps are also made of acid -resistant and can be used in environments with high aggressiveness and significant corrosive threats. Sample use of AISI 316 steel pumps is drainage, drainage of building excavations and industrial tanks or pumping sewage water. They can work at a temperature of up to 400 ° C.
