Ampco's line of nickel aluminum bronze pumps are ideally suited for saltwater, as well as brackish water, waste water and many pollution control applications. The wetted end parts are constructed of ASTM-B-148 C958, commonly referred to as CDA 958. The overall corrosion/erosion resistance of this alloy to saltwater is superior to stainless steel and costs less. All of Ampco's nickel aluminum bronze pumps, E, K and Z Series, have ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) Type Approval.
In addition to exceptional corrosion resistance, nickel aluminum bronze offer these important features:
- Resists erosive wear due to the high velocities developed by the rotating impeller.
- Resists the immense stress incured during a cavitating condition.
- Resists fouling which can reduce efficiency and promote a severe crevice corrosion attack.
- Even in a "down" state. CDA958 provides better protection against saltwater pitting that is so prevalent in stainless steel pumps.
The United States navy has used CDA958 (MIL24480) for more than forty years. Commercial saltwater applications include booster pumps and supply pumps on water treatment systems including reverse osmosis, distillation and desalinization, along with multiple uses on-board vessels, such as bilge, ballast, engine cooling, condenser cooling, refrigeration, washdown, saltwater supply, circulation and fire pumps.
Ampco's E, K, and Z series pumps are available in nickel aluminum bronze in sizes from 5 GPM to 1600 GPM and heads up to 350 Ft. Each series of pumps is offered in both closed-coupled or frame-mounted versions.
