would be corrosion resistant not only to a number of differing fluids but also resist deterioration overtime from exposure to air , and water which can be common with pumps manufactured from Cast Iron . We specified the pump to be manufactured from AISI316 stainless steel to ensure that there were no issues with pump corrosion during its operation lifetime .
We specified a 3 ’ horizontal selfpriming pump made from cast AISI 316 stainless steel . This material is widely used in industrial applications . It ’ s also well suited to even harsher environments needing greater corrosion resistance , having more tensile strength at higher operating temperatures .
Our stainless steel self-priming pump was specially designed for spill containment at the client ’ s site where there are several tanks and silos housed within a bund – this is a
