Nitric Acid Transfer Pump

For Nitric Acid Transfer, the choice of a centrifugal pump depends mainly on the concentration and temperature of the acid. Chemical-resistant materials are essential to avoid corrosion and leakage.

Recommended Centrifugal Pumps

Preferred Materials

PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride): Excellent resistance to nitric acid and temperatures up to approximately 90–100°C.
PTFE-lined pumps: Suitable for highly corrosive and concentrated nitric acid.
Polypropylene (PP): Generally recommended for dilute acid and temperatures up to 70–80°C.
SS316L: Suitable only for specific concentrations and temperatures; compatibility should be verified.

Features Recommended

  * Sealless magnetic drive construction to eliminate leakage.
  * Dry-run protection.
  * Corrosion-resistant impeller and casing.
  * Suitable mechanical seals (if using conventional pumps).

Typical Applications

  * Chemical processing plants.
  * Fertilizer manufacturing.
  * Metal pickling and surface treatment.
  * Pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries.

If you can provide:

1. Nitric acid concentration (%)
2. Operating temperature (°C)
3. Flow rate (m³/hr)
4. Head required (meters)

I can suggest the most suitable pump material and model selection.
