Product Description

A 3-inch stainless steel air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump is a heavy-duty fluid transfer solution designed for high-capacity industrial applications. Its stainless steel construction ensures excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for handling aggressive, abrasive, and viscous fluids in harsh environments. With its larger 3-inch inlet and outlet, the pump is capable of delivering flow rates upwards of 250 gallons per minute, making it ideal for industries requiring the transfer of large volumes of fluid, such as mining, petrochemical, and wastewater treatment. Like other AODD pumps, it is powered by compressed air, making it safe for use in hazardous environments where electrical equipment might pose risks.

FAQs for 3 Inch SS AODD Pump

Q. What types of fluids can a 3-inch SS AODD pump handle?

A. The pump can handle a wide variety of fluids, including corrosive chemicals, abrasive slurries, viscous liquids, and fluids containing solid particles.

Q. Can the pump run dry without damage?

A. Yes, AODD pumps can run dry without damaging internal components, which is a key advantage in many industrial processes.

Q. Is the pump safe to use in hazardous or explosive environments?

A. Yes, since it operates using compressed air rather than electricity, it is safe for use in explosive or hazardous locations.

Q. What is the maintenance requirement for a 3-inch SS AODD pump?

A. Maintenance is relatively low due to the simple design, few moving parts, and the absence of mechanical seals, reducing wear and tear.

Q. Does the pump require priming?

A. No, AODD pumps are self-priming, allowing them to start pumping even if the suction line is dry.
