Selection Guide
AODD vs. Centrifugal Pumps
-
1
Choose AODD pumps for chemical transfer, variable viscosity, dry-run tolerance, suction lift, and shear-sensitive fluids.
-
2
Choose centrifugal pumps for clean, low-viscosity liquids where continuous high flow and steady head are required.
-
3
AODD pumps are self-priming and seal-less; centrifugal pumps usually need priming and mechanical seal management.
For selection, share flow rate, discharge pressure or head, viscosity, temperature, solids content and installation conditions — our engineers will recommend the right aodd metallic configuration.
