Materials
Material Profile: Operating
Temperatures:
CAUTION! Operating temperature limitations are as follows:
Max. Min.
Virgin PTFE: (PFA/TFE) Chemically inert, virtually impervious. 220°F -35°F
Very few chemicals are known to chemically react with PTFE; 104°C -37°C
molten alkali metals, turbulent liquid or gaseous fluorine and
a few fluoro-chemicals such as chlorine trifluoride or oxygen
difluoride which readily liberate free fluorine at elevated
temperatures.
Maximum and Minimum Temperatures are the limits for which these materials can be operated.
Temperatures coupled with pressure affect the longevity of diaphragm pump components.
Maximum life should not be expected at the extreme limits of the temperature ranges.
Metals:
Stainless Steel: Equal to or exceeding ASTM specification A743 CF-8M for corrosion
resistant iron chromium, iron chromium nickel and nickel based alloy castings for
general applicaitons. Commonly referred to as 316 Stainless Steel in the pump industry.
For specific applications, always consult the Chemical Resistance Chart.

Connect the pump air inlet to an air supply with sufficient capacity and pressure to achieve desired performance. A pressure regulating valve should be installed to
insure air supply pressure does not exceed recommended limits.

Suction line is blocked. Remove or flush obstruction. Check and clear all suction screens or strainers.
Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, filling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.
Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
Pumped fluid in air exhaust muffler. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.
Pump Cycles Running Over lubrication. Set lubricator on lowest possible setting or remove. Units are designed for lube free operation.
Sluggish/Stalling, Icing. Remove muffler screen, de-ice, and re-install. Install a point of use air drier.
Flow Unsatisfactory Clogged manifolds. Clean manifolds to allow proper air flow
Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds air Increase the inlet air pressure to the pump. Pump is designed for 1:1 pressure ratio at zero flow.
supply pressure). (Does not apply to high pressure 2:1 units).
Cavitation on suction side. Check suction (move pump closer to product).
Lack of air (line size, PSI, CFM). Check the air line size, length, compressor capacity.
Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, filling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.
Air supply pressure or volume exceeds system hd. Decrease inlet air (press. and vol.) to the pump. Pump is cavitating the fluid by fast cycling.
Undersized suction line. Meet or exceed pump connections.
Restrictive or undersized air line. Install a larger air line and connection.
Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
Suction line is blocked. Remove or flush obstruction. Check and clear all suction screens or strainers.
Pumped fluid in air exhaust muffler. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.
Check valve obstructed. Disassemble the wet end of the pump and manually dislodge obstruction in the check valve pocket.
Check valve and/or seat is worn or needs adjusting. Inspect check valves and seats for wear and proper setting. Replace if necessary.
Entrained air or vapor lock in chamber(s). Purge chambers through tapped chamber vent plugs. Purging the chambers of air can be dangerous.
Product Leaking Diaphragm failure, or diaphragm plates loose. Replace diaphragms, check for damage and ensure diaphragm plates are tight.
Through Exhaust Diaphragm stretched around center hole or bolt holes. Check for excessive inlet pressure or air pressure. Consult Chemical Resistance Chart for compatibility
with products, cleaners, temperature limitations and lubrication.
Premature Diaphragm Cavitation. Enlarge pipe diameter on suction side of pump.
Failure Excessive flooded suction pressure. Move pump closer to product. Raise pump/place pump on top of tank to reduce inlet pressure.
Install Back pressure device (Tech bulletin 41r). Add accumulation tank or pulsation dampener.
Misapplication (chemical/physical incompatibility). Consult Chemical Resistance Chart for compatibility with products, cleaners, temperature limitations
and lubrication.
Incorrect diaphragm plates or plates on backwards, Check Operating Manual to check for correct part and installation. Ensure outer plates have not been
installed incorrectly or worn. worn to a sharp edge.
Unbalanced Cycling Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, filling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.
Undersized suction line. Meet or exceed pump connections.
Pumped fluid in air exhaust muffler. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.
Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
Check valve obstructed. Disassemble the wet end of the pump and manually dislodge obstruction in the check valve pocket.
Check valve and/or seat is worn or needs adjusting. Inspect check valves and seats for wear and proper setting. Replace if necessary.
Entrained air or vapor lock in chamber(s). Purge chambers through tapped chamber vent plugs.

If the pump is to be steam cleaned, disconnect the suction line from the pump. Connect the steam
line to the pump inlet. Maintain the flow of steam through the pump for at least five minutes after the
temperature at the outlet has reached 200°F (94°C).
Hot water may also be used. Pump water that is maintained at minimum of 170°F (77°C) through the
pump for at least five minutes. Please note that the maximum cleaning temperature of the pump is 220°
(104°C).
Chemical cleaning may also be used in sanitizing the pump. Be sure to consult your distributor or the
manufacturer to verify that the elastomer(s) used in the pump are compatible with the chemicals being
used in the cleaning process.
