[NARRATOR] The Viking Pump ROOTS program is proud to partner with House of Hope in serving the Cedar Valley. [DUSKY] Female-led households in Iowa struggle for economic security more so than their married or partnered counterparts and women who age out of foster care are the highest at risk for becoming single mothers in homelessness. So if we are going to really make a generational impact, which is our goal, we want to truly break cycles for good, long-term. We have to address what's happening with single mothers and women who age out of foster care.

Viking Pump's GB-425 Series™ is a robust and rebuildable external gear pump that is specifically designed for pipeline injection. 

Viking Pump is proud to bring you the new GB-425 Series™ pipeline injection pump. This robust, rebuildable external gear pump is specifically designed to handle the pressures, flow requirements, and abrasives that make crude oil pipeline injection one of the the most difficult applications.

Join Viking Pump's Chad Wunderlich as he describes the multiple ways to address and solve for a cavitating pump. 

So just to recap: a cavitating pump is one that is exhibiting noise, loss of capacity, and if left unchecked can lead to localized pitting of the pump internals. The cause is excessive vacuum at the pump inlet. So what's the fix? 

For most systems, it starts with atmospheric pressure - but you can't move your entire facility to sea level. So what CAN you fix?

Viking Pump has been leading the way in critical application pumps for over 110 years - and one of the most difficult - yet essential - applications is crude oil pipeline injection. We are proud to introduce the new GB-425 Series™.

In 2017, Viking Pump came on the pipeline injection scene with the GP-425 Series™ external gear pump - specifically designed for the rigorous pressures and flow rates required - and took the oil and gas industry by storm.

But we never stopped researching…

...never stopped designing…

...never stopped testing...

In this Pump Report, Chad covers the causes and symptoms of positive displacement pump cavitation.

Hi, I'm Chad Wunderlich with Viking Pump. In a previous video we discussed the priming capability of positive displacement pumps, like this gear pump. This is due, in part, to the pump's ability to develop vacuum...but what happens if that vacuum gets too high? 

Today we're going to talk about cavitation. You're watching the Pump Report. 

Viking Pump Canada has been serving customers across the Canadian provinces for over 100 years. First opened in 1924 as an additional manufacturing center for US-based Viking Pump, Viking Pump Canada has developed into an important source of positive displacement pump expertise.

Through the years, Viking Pump Canada has had different ownership - but was ultimately reacquired by Viking Pump in 1992. Now with a strong focus on high quality distribution and service, Viking Pump Canada is accelerating growth for the entire Viking Pump business.

In a positive displacement pump, each rotation of the shaft and gears carries a fixed volume of liquid from the supply tank to the downstream piping. When paired with an AC induction motor, speed and flow are very consistent. But what if you want to CHANGE the flow? In this episode of the Pump Report, Chad discusses controlling your positive displacement pump's motor with a variable frequency drive - or VFD.

Creams are typically used for personal cosmetic and topical medical treatments. Physical properties and chemistry can vary greatly depending on the cream's base and the added ingredients. Some creams can be petroleum based - while others may be emulsions suspended in water - and are usually shear-thinning. Viking Pumps can be found in a number of different parts of cream production and processing, including tanker truck unloading, product transfer, ingredient dosing, and finished product transfer. Viking Pump's 4127A Series™ is 316 stainless steel and has cartridge lipseal options.
