2 BLACKMER LIQUID DATA AND MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY GUIDE This bulletin is intended as a guide for the proper selection of Blackmer positive displacement rotary-vane pumps for use in specific fluid transfer applications. For detailed information and specifications of the pump types listed within the bulletin, please refer to the Blackmer Product Bulletins described in the chart below. Bulletin 30 contains a list of commonly transferred liquids and their compatibility with the materials of construction available in Blackmer s. The information provided on the various liquids was compiled from several different sources of corrosion data and fluid characteristics. The information is presumed to be accurate, however, Blackmer/A Dover Company, assumes no liability for its accuracy or suitability. A qualified expert should be consulted for specific compatibility of materials and limitations. All selections of Blackmer pump types listed in the bulletin are based upon specific conditions of temperature, viscosity, vapor pressure, concentration, etc. Assumptions should not be made as to the suitability of the pump type at other conditions. The material compatibilities listed do not necessarily imply that a certain pump material is suitable for service on the liquid being pumped. Factors such as temperature, viscosity, abrasiveness and lubricity should also be considered. Limitations for pump components are given on the following page, and are also described in the Blackmer Material Spec Sheets for individual pump models. MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS The Material Specification Chart on the following page provides technical data on the various materials of construction available for Blackmer pumps. Models are available in cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel or 316 stainless steel construction. A wide selection of internal components are available for specific application requirements. Note: Not all of the materials shown in the chart are available for all pump models. Please refer to the individual Blackmer Material Spec Sheets for material options available on specific models. WARNING Several liquids covered in the following tables have been noted as being extremely flammable, toxic or corrosive, and can be hazardous if mishandled or misused. Improper handling or usage can result in severe damage to equipment or property and/or serious personal injury or death. Special care should be given when handling these liquids, and warning given to end users as to the risks involved.
