Who is this manual for
Process engineers, preventive maintenance teams and EPC designers specifying positive displacement pumps for viscous fluids.
When to use
Read before specifying (to validate flow × viscosity × pressure × temperature), during installation (accessories, auxiliary connections and dimensions) and for maintenance (cutaway drawing and parts list).
Product catalogues
These catalogues complement the technical manuals. For sizing and operating limits, consult the specific documentation and engineering team.
From the document to your next step.
Keep the equipment identification with the document when continuing the conversation with our team.
Check the identification
If you already have a pump, provide the series and code on its nameplate. A photo helps our team identify the equipment.
Consult the series document
Use the manual code as a reference. Dimensions and construction options must be checked for your equipment model and configuration.
Keep the context
For a question, replacement or new selection, share the model and the page you are consulting. Include the fluid and operating conditions you know.
