Pipe Warehouse UK | Pump Material Resistance Charts
In this article:
An information chart to check the resistance of pump materials to commonly used industry chemicals
It is intended to give a guide as to the expected performance and abilities of our pump range in conjunction with commonly used industrial chemicals.
Chemical Resistance Information for Pump Materials
THESE CHARTS SHOW THE EXPECTED PERFORMANCE OF PUMP MATERIALS WHEN USED WITH THE LISTED CHEMICALS
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
We have compiled a list of hundreds of chemicals that are commonly used throughout multiple industries and have represented their compatibility with the materials commonly used in the construction of diaphragm pumps.
Results are graded as A to C.
For ease of use we have grouped some chemicals together:
Alcohols
are presented together under A
and Plating Chemicals are presented together under the letter
P;
for example, Plating Solutions: Gold.
| Effect | Compatability | |
|---|---|---|
| A | Negligible effect | Excellent. If operating within all given restrictions, such as temperature range, then this chemical should not be overly detrimental to the material's expected performance or life-expectancy |
| B | Limited absorption or attack | Good. Whilst suitable, some attack is evident over time and therefore the expected life of the material will be somewhat diminished even when all environmental and operational restrictions are observed |
| C | Extensive absorption and/or rapid permeation | Poor. Significant effects are produced. Severely detrimental to material function and rapidly decreases functional life of material. May be found suitable where only infrequent and intermittent contact occurs. However, the customer should satisfy themselves beforehand as to the acceptability. |
| X | Extensive Attack / Chemical Reactions | The specimen dissolves or disintegrates. Contact may produce dangerous chemical reactions. Material should not be used for any applications where these environmental conditions are present. |
All the compatibility data in the following charts are compiled from data supplied to Pipe Warehouse UK from manufacturers and other reputable sources. The effects of chemicals on pump materials is dependant on many factors, such as temperature, concentrations, pressure and abrasiveness, we have tried to cover as much as is possible but we cannot guarantee suitability for any application, this information should be considered as a guide only and customers are urged to satisfy themselves as to the suitability for their particular application.

This chart shows the expected chemical resistances of materials used in our pumps against the listed chemicals. This information is provided as a preliminary guide and does not constitute actual advice. There are other factors that need to be taken into account asides from chemical resistance when choosing pump materials, such as abrasiveness and temperatures. The customer should always satisfy themselves as to the suitability of pump materials for each and every application.
Summary:
• All chemicals, with which the material will come into contact, needs to be considered when choosing a pipe material.
• Other operational and environmental conditions that may affect the suitability of materials need to be considered with each individual application.
