The AMT Pump 5271-98 rotary drum pump is a hand-operated pump constructed with 304 stainless steel, carbon vanes, and a Teflon (PTFE) seal for resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and is suitable for transfer of chemicals and liquids including many acids, acetones, trichloroethylene, solvents, photographic chemicals and ketones. This pump is capable of transferring material at 12 oz. per stroke (5 gallons per minute (gpm) at 70 revolutions per minute (rpm)) with temperatures up to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). It has a 1" female National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) inlet port and a 3/4" NPT outlet port, and comes with a 40" stainless steel suction tube assembly, a 2" bung adapter, and a stainless steel discharge spout. This pump is suitable for transferring aggressive chemicals such as esters, ketones, alcohols, bases, hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons 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?5271-98 rotary drum pump2" bung adapter40" stainless steel suction tube assemblyPump handleStainless steel discharge spout
