Pump Selection Form

Pump selection is a science but we’ve simplified it on the below form which, when completed, will provide us with sufficient information to allow us to put forward a pump or pumps that may suit your requirements.

Your Name *

Company Name *

Email *

Telephone Number *

Where is the fluid or material being pumped from? *

Please advise where the pumped fluid / material is stored prior to being pumped.

How will the fluid or material reach the pump inlet port? *

Will the fluid flow down into the pump inlet by gravity? Does the fluid need to be sucked up vertically i.e. from a drum? Are you hoping to pump semi-solid or solid material that needs intervention in order to enter the pump?

Name and description of the fluid or material to be pumped *

What is the fluid viscosity? *

Examples: water is 1, food oil is 50, mustard is 50,000, shortening is 1,000,000 (centipoise).

What flow rate do you require? *

Is the fluid / material shear sensitive? *

Yes, the fluid is sensitive and needs gentle handling
No, the fluid does not need careful handling

For delicate media, low-shear pumps with gentle handling capabilities will be offered.

For any solids going through the pump, indicate maximum size & hardness

The pump will be sized appropriate to the maximum particle or solid size.

What is the fluid / material temperature as it enters the pump? *

What is the pH of the fluid / material (if known)?

What pressure does the pump need to overcome to get the fluid / material to its destination (if known)?

What total vertical distance do you need to pump the fluid? *

What total horizontal distance do you need to pump the fluid? *

What is the diameter of the discharge pipework / hose? *

How many bends in the pipework? *

How do you intend on powering the pump? *

Electric motor only
Pneumatic motor only (compressed air)
Electric or pneumatic

Please advise what power sources are available in your plant to operate industrial equipment like pumps.
