All rights reserved Document Number A102 Application Data Material Guide • EnviroTech Pumpsystems leads the slurry pump industry by offering an extremely broad range of abrasion and corrosion resistant materials specifically formulated to meet customer needs. A critical part of any successful pump application is the correct selection of the materials of construction. • The suspended particles in slurry cause abrasive wear on pump components due to a combination of impact and sliding action. Physical characteristics of the abrasive slurry include size, shape, density, angularity and hardness of the suspended solids. • Alloys with good corrosion resistance usually have low wear resistance. Abrasive slurries with corrosives signficantly increase the wear rate of these metal alloys. • Material selection should be based on: temperature, particle size, oil & chemical resistance and peripheral speed limitations. Elastomers exhibit exceptional wear and corrosion resistance while being cost effective. Specific elastomers are selected in the majority of applications where the particle size is below 1/4 inch and the temperature is within the limit of the appropriate elastomer.
