Blog316 Stainless Pump Casing on a Cast Iron Base: A Practical Mix
Horizontal pipeline pumps built with a 316 stainless steel casing and a cast iron foot. Why you only need stainless where the liquid touches the pump.

Model: ISG pipeline pump and CDL(F) multistage pump
At low and medium head a single-stage pipeline pump is simpler; at high head a multistage CDL is smaller and more efficient. Real figures from both ranges.

Both pumps install in line and both handle clean water, so the question comes up often. Look at the same duty in both ranges.
| Duty | Single-stage pipeline pump | Multistage CDL(F) |
|---|---|---|
| 12.5 m³/h at 80 m | 40-250(I): 12.5 m³/h, 80 m, 11 kW | CDL(F) 12-80: 12 m³/h, 80 m, 5.5 kW |
| 6.3 m³/h at 50 m | 40-200: 6.3 m³/h, 50 m, 4 kW | CDL(F) 8-50: 8 m³/h, 45 m, 2 kW |
| 100 m³/h at 20 m | 100-125: 100 m³/h, 20 m, 11 kW | Outside the sweet spot of the range |
At high head and small flow, the multistage pump does the job with a much smaller motor. At large flow and low head, the single-stage pipeline pump is simpler, cheaper and easier to service.
Compare the two ranges in the pipeline pump table and the CDL(F) table.
