In Nebraska, soybean oil is just one edible oil that's produced. Soybean oil is used not only for cooking but also in the manufacture of personal care products and as a feedstock in the manufacture of biodiesel. And just down the road, you’ll find pumps for corn oil, sunflower oil, even walnut oil. And expanding that search globally you’ll find Viking pumps for palm oil, olive oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, grapeseed oil, and dozens of others. Next is Arizona. Seal coat is an asphalt emulsion used in the repair of paved surfaces.

In Ohio, like the rest of North America, the most common roofing material for homes is shingles. Ohio, and many other states, utilize Viking pumps to produce and deliver filled roofing asphalt to the felt backing for making roofing shingles in a variety of colors and styles. This application is hot, viscous, and highly abrasive requiring hardened Viking pumps to handle this tough application. In New Jersey, Viking ammonia pumps are used mostly for refrigeration, but you’ll also find Viking ammonia pumps with a different purpose.

Let's start with Texas. Whether you’re in Houston, or Dallas, or West Texas, it’s impossible to get away from Viking pumps used in the petroleum industry. Certainly you’ll find Viking pumps for crude oil here, but also at the finished end of the process helping to manufacture a variety of lube oil blends from conventional motor oil to full synthetics, to special blends for colder environments, high mileage engines, marine, aviation, and dozens of other specialty applications. South Carolina’s textile industry is older than the US itself.

Viking Pump’s original applications started at home, right here in Iowa. This original list included asphalt, fuel oil, turpentine, linseed oil, and water but did not include one of Viking Pump’s most common applications in the state today: corn syrup.

Bunker C has many names: Heavy Fuel Oil, Bunker Oil, #6 Fuel Oil.

Let's start in Utah. Soaps and detergents are viscous and corrosive - making them perfect applications for Viking pumps. These include dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and hand soaps just to name a few. Many are liquids, but some are powder slurries which are then dried into powder or compressed into tablets for easier handling.

Greases are commonly referred to as lubricating, automotive, or bearing grease. They are generally a mixture of mineral oil with one or more metallic soaps like sodium or calcium. The texture of grease may be smooth and buttery or even fibrous or rubbery. The viscosity of greases range greatly. They are also extremely shear sensitive. Typically, flow is aided by a follower-plate on the supply tank to help maintain positive pressure on the suction side of the pump. The cast iron 1124A Series™ features Viking's O-Pro® Barrier seal - which minimizes leakage.
