What should be paid attention to when installing the inlet pipeline of the sand pump

SB series sand pump are newly developed pump products for oil mine drilling solids control equipment. They are used in oil drilling mud purification systems to provide or replenish mud for sand removal, mud removal, mud mixing, mud pumps and other equipment, as well as mud mixing. And cutting, sand removal and silt removal, exhaust, pressurization, centrifugal feeding, flushing functions. It can also be used in chemical, petroleum (refining), industry, construction and agriculture.

What should be paid attention to when installing the inlet pipeline of the sand pump?

A. Suction pipeline shall match pump inlet.

B. Suction pipeline shall not be fitted with any throttle valve but can be equipped with a normally open valve to minimize disorder of fluid flow, which may be closed only when the pump is disassembled for inspection/repair.

C. In order to prevent bubble in suction pipeline, gradual transition from high altitude to low altitude shall be available between the pumping source and the pump. If the User needs to use the pump under the condition that there is a suction height, please use a vacuum pump or a bottom valve for water drawing.

D. Pipeline at pump inlet must be horizontal and straight, with a length of at least twice as diameter of the suction pipeline.

E. When temporarily using a hosepipe for suction pipeline, ensure that the hosepipe will not be compressed, because pressure in the suction pipeline is generally lower than the atmospheric pressure. If the hosepipe is compressed, as it is affected by the atmospheric pressure, flow will be reduced and even intercepted.
