Acids & Bases

Corrosive warning label

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring acids and bases due to their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities and their efficient sealing mechanisms, which reduce the risk of leaks and contamination. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and moving it through the pump housing, making them exceptionally effective for precise flow control. This precision is crucial when dealing with corrosive acids and bases, as it minimizes product waste and enhances safety. Moreover, positive displacement pumps are constructed from materials that resist the corrosive effects of such chemicals, ensuring durability and reliability even in challenging industrial environments. Their robust design and versatility make them an excellent choice for applications requiring the safe and efficient transfer of aggressive chemical substances.

Universal Mag Drive, The Sealless Upgrade That Prevents Leakage and Fugitive Emissions
Viking Pump invented, patented and manufactured the very first sealless mag drive rotary positive displacement (PD) pumps in the world, and developed several series over time for different applications, including the first generation 825, 895 and 855 ™ internal gear pumps. Of these first generation mag drive pumps, all had different footprints from their dynamically-sealed cousins with...

Viscosity Through Thick and Thin
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow. And you don’t need to work in a laboratory to observe this. Anyone who’s spent any time in the kitchen has observed a variety of liquids with a wide variety of viscosities.
