Chemical Pumps & Meter Systems

Consider the chemical being transferred, required flow rate, operating pressure, power supply, temperature, and the compatibility of the pump's wetted materials and seals. For chemical liquid transfer, factors such as suction lift and system requirements can also affect pump selection. The manufacturer's chemical compatibility information should always be checked before selection.

There is no single pump type that's best for every chemical. Centrifugal and diaphragm pumps have different operating characteristics, so the correct choice depends on the liquid properties, required flow rate and pressure, temperature, chemical resistance, and application.

Yes, where the pump is specifically suitable for the liquid and application. A 12V pump can be useful for mobile and agricultural transfer applications, including IBC liquid transfer, but the pump's wetted materials, seals, flow rate, and electrical specifications must be suitable for the intended use.

A chemical pump moves liquid through a system, while a flow meter measures the quantity or flow rate of liquid passing through it. Some chemical transfer systems combine a pump and flow meter, allowing liquid to be transferred and measured at the same time.

Not always. A pump-only system is sufficient when the requirement is simply to transfer liquid. A chemical flow meter is useful when you need to measure or monitor the volume being transferred or dispensed, particularly in agricultural and bulk liquid applications.

No. Chemical resistance depends on the specific liquid and the materials used in the pump, seals, diaphragm and other wetted components. Always check the manufacturer's compatibility information for the chemical and operating conditions before use.

Chemical pumps are used for chemical liquid transfer, dispensing and handling compatible liquids between IBCs, tanks, containers and other equipment. Common applications include agricultural chemicals, bulk liquid transfer, and dispensing applications. The pump must always be suitable for the specific liquid being handled.
