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. Model SPFP15 Food Processing • standardpump spfp15-rev0913...

Once actuated, the pilot valve sends a pressure signal to the MUFFLER opposite end of the main directional air valve, redirecting the compressed air to the opposite inner chamber. SUBMERGED ILLUSTRATION Primed Fluid MUFFLER 1" DIAMETER AIR LIQUID EXHAUST PIPING LEVEL SUCTION LINE Pump can be submerged if the pump materials of construction are compatible with the liquid being pumped. The air exhaust must be piped above the liquid level. When the pumped product MUFFLER source is at a higher level than the pump (flooded suction condition), pipe the exhaust higher than the product source to prevent siphoning spills. 1" DIAMETER AIR EXHAUST PIPING LIQUID LEVEL SUCTION LINE Model SPFP15 Food Processing • standardpump spfp15-rev0913...
Installation And Start-Up Locate the pump as close to the product being pumped as possible. Keep the suction line length and number of fittings to a minimum. Do not reduce the suction line diameter. Air Supply 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. Air Valve Lubrication The air distribution system is designed to operate WITHOUT lubrication. This is the standard mode of operation. If lubrication is desired, install an air line lubricator set to deliver one drop of SAE 10 non-detergent oil for every 20 SCFM (9.4 liters/sec.) of air the pump consumes. Consult the Performance Curve to determine air consumption. Air Line Moisture Water in the compressed air supply may cause icing or freezing of the exhaust air, causing the pump to cycle erratically or stop operating. Water in the air supply can be reduced by using a point-of-use air dryer. Air Inlet And Priming To start the pump, slightly open the air shut-off valve. After the pump primes, the air valve can be opened to increase air flow as desired. If opening the valve increases cycling rate, but does not increase the rate of flow, cavitation has occurred. The valve should be closed slightly to obtain the most efficient air flow to pump flow ratio. standardpump • Model SPFP15 Food Processing spfp15-rev0913...
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.
