Pumping acids is a materials problem first and a hydraulics problem second. The right construction depends on the specific acid, its concentration and temperature, and trace contaminants β chlorides and oxidisers can turn an otherwise-suitable alloy into a rapid-failure risk. This tool pairs an acid-service selection guide (recommended material plus alternatives for each acid) with a full by-material catalogue so the shortlist already reflects what the fluid will tolerate.
Every entry lists pressure/temperature limits, flow and head range, representative manufacturers, advantages and cautions, and the governing standards β ISO 2858 / 5199, ISO 15783, EN, ASME B73.1/B73.3, ATEX and CE β with a dedicated tab for shaft-seal selection and certifications.
Material ratings are indicative for the stated concentration and clean acid. Confirm against the manufacturer's certified corrosion data and a coupon test for the actual service, temperature and contaminants before procurement.
Send your influent analysis and our engineers assess your process and recommend a tailored treatment solution — free, confidential and no obligation.
Select the regulatory standard for your country — it sets which parameters we need for a compliance-aware process assessment.
Required parameters for the chosen standard are flagged on the sample form. You can still submit a partial set and we will advise what else to test.
Your sample is stored against your company so we can track the project. Provide a company name or email as a minimum.
