Liquefied Gases
Liquified gases present many pumping difficulties including very low viscosity and lubricity, low specific gravity, low temperatures and require special sealing arrangements due to high inlet pressure.
Positive displacement pumps, including close-clearance internal gear pumps and vane pumps are well suited to handling certain liquified gases due to their low NPSHr, low temperature metallurgy options, high pressure capabilities, resistance to vapor lock and many available sealing arrangements.
