The Role of the Volute in Centrifugal Pumps

In addition to its shape and size, the material used for the volute's construction is also important. Typically, materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, or thermoplastics are employed, chosen based on factors like fluid characteristics, temperature, and pressure. For example, corrosive fluids may necessitate the use of more durable materials to prevent degradation and ensure longevity.

 1. Understand Your Application Requirements

a. Material Compatibility:

   - Type of Slurry: Determine if the slurry is abrasive, corrosive, or contains large particles.

Function: Seals prevent slurry from leaking out of the pump and protect the internal components.

Conclusion

   - Select the impeller design that best handles the slurry's characteristics (e.g., closed impellers for abrasive slurries, open impellers for large particles).
