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
