Action Pump 1460 Piston Pump For Non-Corrosive Fluids

This Action Pump 1460 hand-operated piston pump is made with a steel body and a polyethylene tube for resistance to chemicals, dispenses liquid at a rate of 8 oz. per stroke, and is suitable for dispensing non-corrosive chemicals in a variety of applications. It comes with a 2" National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded bung adapter. This piston drum pump is suitable for use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Specifications Pump Piston drum pump Materials Steel body, polyethylene tube Flow rate 8 oz. per stroke Discharge port 9/16" Maximum temperature 140 degrees F Maximum liquid viscosity 5,000 SSU For use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums Dimensions Overall length: 45"; Suction tube: 22" Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel. Action Pump manufactures drum and pail pumps and grease, oil, and lubrication products. The company, founded in 1981, is headquartered in Cary, IL.
