CDL(F) Model Numbers Explained: 4-30, 32-120 and 65-30-2

The basic pattern

CDL(F) 4-30: CDL is the vertical multistage pump, F marks stainless steel wetted parts, 4 is the rated flow in m³/h, and 30 means three impellers. The second number is the stage count times ten, so CDL(F) 4-220 has 22 stages.

Examples from our table

What about -1 and -2?

From size 65 up, many stage counts come in three versions. CDL(F) 65-30 gives 60 m, 65-30-1 gives 53 m and 65-30-2 gives 46 m, all at 65 m³/h. The suffixed versions fill the gaps between whole stage counts, so the head can be matched more closely. We confirm the exact build in the quotation.

Picking a model

1. Choose the size from the flow you need: 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 32, 42, 65, 85, 120 or 150 m³/h.
2. Work out the head the pump must produce at that flow.
3. Pick the first stage count whose head is at or just above your figure.
