AMT Sprinkler/Booster Pumps, Cast Iron, 1-1/2" and 2" NPT Suction & Discharge Ports

Description

Color:3792-95  |  Special Features:1 Phase  |  Maximum Flow Rate:78 Gallons per Minute  |  Size:1-1/2" NPT Female Suction & Discharge Ports This AMT self-priming sprinkler and booster pump has a cast iron housing and 1-1/2 or 2" female NPT suction and discharge ports. The pump is self-priming to 20 vertical feet (after initial fill) with its built-in check valve and has a stainless steel high-efficiency closed impeller. The pump housing has buna-n mechanical seals and O-rings, its double volute chamber reduces radial load on the impeller, and both the volute and impeller are replaceable. The motor enclosure is either totally enclosed, fan cooled (TEFC) for protection from dust and indirect water spray or open, drip proof (ODP) for protection from dripping water, depending on the model. This portable pump is suitable for use in applications such as in pressure-boosting transfer and sprinkler applications.SpecificationsMotor1.5 to 7.5 hp, ODP or TEFCPumpCentrifugal self-priming with dual voluteMaximum flow rateRanges from 80 to 157 gpmImpellerStainless steel, high efficiency, closedSuction port1-1/2" or 2" NPTDischarge port1-1/2" or 2" NPTMaximum operating temperature180 degrees FMaximum solids handlingRanges from 1/16" to 5/16"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.
