IH Stainless Steel Centrifugal Pump for Chemical Process Applications
The IH stainless steel centrifugal pump uses integral-cast 304 or 316L wetted parts for chemical-process transfer across pH 1-14, temperatures from -20 to 180°C and pressure up to 1.8 MPa.
IH Stainless Steel Centrifugal Pump for Chemical Process Applications
A robust stainless-steel process pump for demanding industrial transfer
The IH stainless steel centrifugal pump is a horizontal chemical-process pump for liquids that require clean, durable and corrosion-resistant wetted components. The pump body, impeller and other liquid-contact parts are integrally cast in 304 or 316L stainless steel. This construction provides a rigid metallic flow path and makes the series suitable for a wide variety of process circulation and transfer duties.

Stainless-Steel Wetted Parts
The choice between 304 and 316L depends on the medium, concentration, temperature and contaminants. The IH stainless steel centrifugal pump can be considered for media across pH 1-14, including selected sulfuric-acid, hydrochloric-acid and hydrofluoric-acid duties as well as organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol. Chemical compatibility must be confirmed case by case because corrosion behavior changes with concentration, temperature, aeration and trace components.
Process Performance
The published IH series covers flow rates from 1 to 1600 m³/h and heads from 5 to 125 m. Available configurations are intended for operating temperatures from -20 to 180°C. The stated working pressure can reach 1.8 MPa, and multiple flange connection methods are available to support different piping arrangements. Each pump size has its own performance curve, so the operating point must be checked before final selection.
Key Advantages
Integral-cast stainless-steel wetted parts provide mechanical strength and a clean flow passage. 304 stainless steel offers an economical solution for many general chemical and industrial liquids, while 316L can provide improved resistance in more demanding environments. The familiar end-suction centrifugal arrangement simplifies integration with tanks, filters, heat exchangers and process skids. The IH stainless steel centrifugal pump can be supplied to suit different flow, head, temperature and motor requirements.
Industrial Applications
Typical uses include chemical production, pharmaceutical processing, metallurgy, petrochemical systems, fine-chemical plants, electroplating lines, industrial wastewater treatment and general factory liquid circulation. The IH stainless steel centrifugal pump can perform duties such as reactor feed, tank-to-tank transfer, process circulation, solvent transfer, cleaning-liquid circulation and utility service when the selected stainless steel is compatible with the liquid.
Selection Information Required
For accurate sizing, provide the medium name and composition, concentration, temperature, density, viscosity and any particle content. Also provide the required flow, total head, suction condition, installation altitude, inlet pressure, operating hours, motor voltage, frequency and hazardous-area requirement if applicable. These details allow the IH stainless steel centrifugal pump to be matched to the system rather than chosen only by connection size.
System And Installation Guidance
Use adequately sized suction piping and avoid unnecessary elbows close to the inlet. Support the pipework independently so nozzle loads are not transferred to the pump casing. Confirm coupling alignment after the foundation and piping are complete. Before commissioning, clean the system, verify rotation, fill and vent the casing as required and make sure all valves are in the correct position. Operation away from the recommended range can increase vibration, noise and energy consumption.
Maintenance Considerations
Monitor discharge pressure, bearing temperature, vibration and leakage during operation. Establish inspection intervals according to the liquid, operating hours and site conditions. If the medium can crystallize or solidify, flush the pump after shutdown using a compatible cleaning method. Do not mix incompatible cleaning chemicals. Genuine dimensional and material information should be used when replacing wetted or rotating parts.
