Refinery & petrochemical — hot process duty
Sustained hot hydrocarbon duty — API 610 construction territory, seal plans and all.
The typical duty
| Fluid | Diesel / Fuel Oil |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 280 °C |
| Flow | 120 m³/h |
| Head | 140 m |
| Viscosity | ≈ 3 cP |
What the selector says at this duty
At this typical duty the tool routes to engineering review: A total head of 140 m is beyond our standard recommendation range for single-stage end-suction pumps (our supplier data covers standard builds to 130 m). Delivered special builds reach ~275 m — that is a specification conversation, not a guess: we forward your duty to the manufacturers who size these for a living.
What to watch
- Between 175 °C and 400 °C the API class takes over from ANSI
- The data sheet is filled jointly with the manufacturer — that is normal
