If you have ever ordered, specified, repaired, or supported an industrial pump, you have probably faced a familiar moment: you are looking at a model number and trying to confirm exactly what it represents. Is it the same pump you used last year? Is it the right material set for the fluid? Does it meet your site requirements? Does it include the safety rating you need?

When it comes to selecting air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump materials, there are some rules of thumb.

As a member of your plant’s operations team, understanding the performance properties of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump materials is key to helping you meet your goals of avoiding downtime, ensuring the safety of your staff, and ultimately increasing profitability. 

Before choosing the best air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump materials for your application, these fluid characteristics must be considered: temperature, abrasiveness, viscosity and overall chemical compatibility.
