Here are some questions about pump characteristics and quick answers to fill you in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of pump can I use for highly viscous or particulate-laden fluids where electric is not available?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An air-operated diaphragm pump would work. It has excellent self-priming and handles a medium level of fluid viscosity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What type of pump offers the highest pressure and can be used effectively for <\/strong><strong>HPLC applications?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A piston pump delivers the highest pressure (up to 5000 psi) and accuracy and is ideal for HPLC uses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which should I choose to empty my tanks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A submersible pump will empty tanks or sumps. It has excellent pulseless flow and maximum pressure up to 50 psi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I need a pump with pulseless flow for fluids heavy with particulates. Which pump do I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A progressing cavity pump would help you. It handles highly viscous and particulate-laden fluids with excellent pulseless flow. Max flow range is 1.9 to 49 L\/min.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I don\u2019t want to spend much and I want a pump without electrical parts, what are my options?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both drum pumps and hand pumps operate without electrical parts and are on the economical end of the price spectrum. Typical applications include pumping acids and alkalis or petroleum with a drum pump and siphoning fluids with a hand pump.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have more questions about pumps?
