AMT Pump 5150-96 High Flow Rotary Drum Pump - 1" NPT Cast Aluminum for Industrial Fluid Transfer | Perfect for Chemical, Oil, and Lubricant Applications

Product Description

The AMT Pump 5150-96 high-flow rotary drum pump is a hand-operated pump constructed with a cast aluminum body, cast iron and steel components, a Buna-N seal for resistance to oil, and fiber gaskets, and is suitable for transfer of lubricating oil and non-corrosive light liquids other than water. This pump is capable of transferring material at 29 oz. per stroke (16 gallons per minute (gpm) at 70 revolutions per minute (rpm)) with temperatures up to 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). It has 1" female National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) inlet and outlet ports, and comes with a 40" suction tube assembly, a 2" cast iron bung adapter, a suction strainer, and a steel discharge spout. This pump is suitable for transferring lubricating oil, antifreeze, fuel oil, gasoline, and other noncorrosive, non-abrasive liquids in a variety of industrial and commercial applications.Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. The company is headquartered in Royersford, PA.What's in the Box?5150-96 high-flow rotary drum pumpPump handle40" suction tube assembly2" bung adapterDischarge spoutStrainer
