Description

Pump Casing is the main housing of a pump, responsible for containing fluid pressure and directing the flow of liquid into and out of the pump. It plays a vital role in ensuring pump efficiency, preventing leakage, and minimizing energy loss during operation.

Features of Pump Casing

High Pressure and Corrosion Resistance
Made from robust materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, brass, or industrial-grade plastic to handle pressure and corrosive fluids
Flow Direction Control
Engineered to optimize flow dynamics and reduce energy loss within the pump
Vibration and Noise Reduction
Promotes smoother, quieter operation and improved system stability
Compatible with Various Fluids
Suitable for water, oils, chemicals, and abrasive fluids across industrial processes
Leak Prevention
Effectively seals the pump to maintain fluid containment and ensure system safety

Types of Pump Casings

Volute Casing
Spiral-shaped casing that converts velocity into pressure as fluid exits the impeller
Diffuser Casing
Uses vanes to decelerate fluid and increase pressure, improving hydraulic efficiency
Single Volute Casing
Designed for small to medium-sized pumps, minimizing hydraulic loss
Double Volute Casing
Balances pressure forces on the impeller, ideal for high-pressure applications and reducing shaft load
Split Casing
Features a two-piece design for easy access during maintenance, often used in large industrial pumps

Applications of Pump Casing

Water and Wastewater Systems
Regulates flow in clean water pumps and sewage handling systems
Petrochemical and Oil Industries
Used in high-pressure oil and chemical pumps requiring robust containment
Food & Beverage Processing
Ensures hygienic flow control in sanitary-grade pumps
Power Generation and Energy Plants
Handles high-pressure, high-temperature liquids in cooling and steam systems
Mining and Metallurgy
Applied in pumps that transport slurry, mineral water, or fluid with solids
