Acetone Pumps
A friendly solvent chemically — the flammability and the seal are what actually decide.
The properties that drive the choice
| Hazard profile | flammable |
|---|---|
| Concentration band in our data | any (not banded) |
| In one line | Ketones attack PVDF and most elastomers — specify PTFE/FFKM seals. Zero-leak drive recommended (flammable, low flash point). |
Which pump families serve it
At a reference duty (20 °C, 10 m³/h, 30 m). Your duty point may move the answer — run it through the tool below; the full report adds the alternatives worth quoting in parallel.
| Primary answer | Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pump (Metallic, sealless) | Toxic, flammable, expensive or environmentally sensitive fluids — zero leakage |
|---|---|---|
| Typical wetted materials | Stainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 316L | |
Where the boundaries sit
- Chemically easy on many materials; the selection is driven by flammability and emissions, not corrosion
- Sealless construction removes the most common leak path — and solvent vapour is the leak that matters
- Low lubricity is hard on some bearing designs; say what the duty cycle is
