The AMT Pump 4946-99 rotary drum pump is a hand-operated pump constructed with a polypropylene body, Ryton (PPS) rotor and vanes, and Teflon (PTFE) seals for resistance to chemicals, and is suitable for transfer of organic acids, alcohols, and other water-soluble inorganic chemicals. This pump is capable of transferring material at 11 oz. per stroke (6 gallons per minute (gpm) at 70 revolutions per minute (rpm)) with temperatures up to 130 degrees F. It has a 1-1/4" -16 Unified inlet port and a 1" -16 Unified outlet port, and comes with a 45" Ryton (PPS, polyphenylene sulfide) suction tube assembly, a 2" bung adapter, and a Ryton (PPS) discharge spout assembly. This pump is suitable for transferring organic acids, alcohols, and other water-soluble inorganic chemicals in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel. American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. The company is headquartered in Royersford, PA. What's in the Box? 4946-99 rotary drum pump Pump handle 45" suction tube assembly 2" bung adapter Discharge spout assembly
