Selection of the type of materials to be used for slurry pumping applications is not a precise procedure.

The procedure must first account for all the factors (variable characteristics) of the particular slurry. The procedure must take into account the constraints imposed by the following:

 

a) type of pump

b) pump speed

c) options within the range of the models available

 

The basic data required to make a selection of the type of material is:

a) the particle sizing of the solids to be pumped

b) the shape and hardness of these solids

c) the corrosive properties of the “liquid” component of the slurry to be pumped

 

The material selection for the pump liners and impellers is made from two basic types of materials:

a) rubber

b) wear/erosion resistant cast alloys

 

Rubber material suits for solids up to 3mm and not be suitable for sharp edged solids. There is wide range of rubber material which are available to suit different applications.

 

Wear resistant cast alloys are used for slurry pump liners and impellers where

conditions are not suited to rubber, such as with coarse or sharp edged particles, or on duties having high impeller peripheral velocities or high operating temperatures.
