How do you select the right pump?

The more data you can identify, the more quickly and precisely an appropriate pump can be specified.  Factors include:

1. Maximum flow required (GPM).

2. Maximum pressure required. 

3. Description of the proposed piping installation. (Pipe diameter, height to which liquid will be pumped, number of fittings, total piping length). 

4. Type of liquid being pumped (Water, acid, slurry, etc.). 

5. Mounting/installation requirements. 

6. Voltage, hertz and phase

The following information identifies the major factors to be considered in specifying an industrial pump. If you are familiar with pump applications, you will need to refer only to the Motor Selection information in this section. Flow charts for each model appear on their individual pages.
