Material Compatibility Analysis

Pumping Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) requires careful consideration of the fluid's corrosive properties, temperature, and abrasiveness. Standard pumps with mechanical seals often leak due to corrosion or particulate wear. AODD (Air Operated Double Diaphragm) pumps are the optimal choice due to their sealless, leak-proof design.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the advantage of using an air-operated pump for Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) transfer?

AODD pumps do not contain dynamic seals or mechanical seals, eliminating fluid leak hazards. They can run dry indefinitely without damage, prime themselves up to 5 meters, and self-regulate according to pressure variations.

2. Does temperature and concentration affect pump selection?

Yes, chemical resistance charts change based on fluid concentration and temperature. For example, standard PP is suited for low-temperature acids, whereas PVDF can handle higher temperatures (up to 93°C) and aggressive concentration ratios.
