2.6 Maximum Static Pressure for Pump Heads
Figure 10: Specification for maximum static pressure of pump heads
(Pressure limits only valid for pump head mounted on motor.)
For the plastics pump heads at higher liquid temperatures or when hammering effects (dynamic static
pressure peaks) or thermal liquid cycles are expected, which might result in longer term deformation effects
of the standard PFA housing with O-ring, it is recommended to use pump heads with PTFE housing or the
sealless/welded PFA pump head. Under these conditions it is furthermore recommended to periodically
retighten the pump head and motor screws.
