possible to the pump inlet. Ensure that the correct grade of oil
is used to obtain proper shifting of the air valve. Too thick an

normal and affect pump performance. See suggested
lubricants at bottom of this section.
Site Selection
Ideally the pump should be located in such a way that the
piping should have the minimum bends. This will keep friction
losses to a minimum and extend the pump parts life. The Troubleshooting

TEMPERATURE LIMITS OF STROKE DIAPHRAGM PUMPS

Temperature Limitations
Temperature limitations are based on mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals will significantly
reduce the maximum safe operating temperatures.
Consult Chemical Resistance Guide for chemical compatibility and temperature limits for specific
fluids.
Process fluid and environmental temperatures must be considered. Temperature
limits for materials of construction and elastomers are listed below.

Temperature Limits:
Neoprene -17.8°C to 93.3°C 0°F to 200°F
Buna-N -12.2°C to 82.2°C 10°F to 180°F
EPDM -51°C to 137.8°C -60°F to 280°F
Viton® -40°C to 176.7°C -40°F to 350°F
PTFE 4°C to 104.4°C 40°F to 220°F

 PROHIBITIVE USE
Air operated double diaphragm pumps should not be used for purposes other than specified in
intended use and following conditions must always be complied with.

1. Maximum slurry particle size must not be greater than the pump's solid passage
capability. A strainer may be placed on the inlet line to eliminate particle larger than the
pump's capability. Please refer operation and maintenance guide for pump's specific
soilds passage
capabilities.
2. Suction and discharge head lift requirement must not be greater than the pump's suction
and discharge head lift capabilities as mentioned in operation and maintenance
guide. Suction and discharge head lift will vary depending on number of inlet and
discharge elbows, the viscosity of process fluid, elevation (atmospheric pressure) and
pipe friction loss.
3. Air line should be blown out for 10 to 20 second before attaching to pump to make sure
al pipe line debris is clear.
4. Pump should not be used for temperature beyond specified limit as mentioned in
operation and maintenance guide.
5. Diaphragm life not only depends on diaphragm's chemical compatibility with the process
fluids but also on the process conditions. These conditions will vary depending on the
abrasiveness of your process fluid temperature, size of diaphragm, pumping media and
liftconditions. Pump should not be used for highly abrasive fluids.
6. Safety glasses and suitable protective outerwear must be worn in vicinity of an operating
pump fluid being pumped may spray in case of diaphragm rupture. Necessary care should
be taken if the fluid being pump is hazardous.
7. Before opening supply hose connections ensure that supply has been shut off.
8. Operation and maintenance guide instruction should be followed before start operation
and during maintenance & cleaning.
9. Personal safety equipments like Hand gloves, safety shoes, eye protection etc should be
used.
10. Any internal part of pump assembly shall not be removed for independent operation or
other use.
11. Do not exceed 125psi air supply pressure unless it has been specifically allowed in the
operation and Maintenance Guide.
12. Instructions given in operation and maintenance guide regarding maintenance, Cleaning,
Safety & Operation should be strictly followed.
