Choosing the Right Body Material
The QBY comes in four standard materials. Each has strengths for different applications. Here’s a quick comparison.
Material Comparison Table
| Material | Weight | Corrosion Resistance | Abrasion Resistance | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Light | Moderate | Moderate | Low |
| Stainless Steel | Medium | Excellent | Good | High |
| Cast Iron | Heavy | Low | Excellent | Medium |
| Polypropylene | Light | Excellent | Poor | Low |
When to Choose Each
•
Aluminum – general industrial, oils, fuels
•
Stainless Steel – chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals
•
Cast Iron – mining, slurry, abrasive fluids
•
Polypropylene – acids, alkalis, water treatment
Diaphragm Material Matters Too
Match the diaphragm to the fluid. PTFE for chemicals, NBR for oils, FKM for high temperatures.
Applications Summary:
material selection, chemical compatibility, pump specification, industrial fluid handling, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance
