Surfactant Pumping Solutions

Surfactants are a group of synthetic chemicals engineered to reduce the surface tension of the liquid in which they are dissolved. What this means is that they can help break down oils and hold dirt or other particles in suspension. Surfactants are used in many household products like toothpaste, shampoo, and laundry detergent. The 4127C Series™ are 316 stainless steel pumps with cartridge lip seal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. The stainless steel 1127C Series™ come with Viking Pump's own O-Pro® Guard seal to help minimize leakage and resist abrasives.

Current and Flow: An electrical engineer’s guide to the concepts of fluid systems

Search Description

Unlike most of my colleagues I didn’t start out with a mechanical background.  While they were studying kinetics and machine design, I was studying digital electronics and industrial power.  When I started my career in the world of pumps, I had to learn a whole new set of concepts.  What was surprising was that while the terminology may be a bit different, the concepts are very similar.  Think of the following as a “Rosetta Stone” for translating the common terms and concepts of fluid systems to your more familiar terms and concepts of electrical systems.
