6.2.2
Suction pipeline for viscous liquids
Pumps for dosing viscous liquid must be specifically ordered for that use.
Where possible, we recommend:
- use stainless steel pumpheads, otherwise with metallic valves or special material
- maintain the diameter corresponding to pump connections as the minimum diameter of the suction pipe
As a general rule, always install the pump with suction connection flooded and pay particular attention to the
design, arrangement and path of suction pipeline.
ATTENTION: To select a suitable pump the customer must inform us on the plant NPSH available !
Figure 6 shows some installation examples for viscous liquids.
