VAPOR PROOF
VAPOR PROOF
(OP)
HI,
I HAVE A PUMP THAT DELIVERS GAS AT 50 DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. THE PUMP SHOULD BE VAPOR PROOF. (I AM TALKING ABOUT A PUMP NOT ABOUT A GAS DISPENSER)
DOES SOMEBODY KNOW WHICH ORGANIZATION SET VAPOR PROOF RANKING? WHAT IS VAPOR PROOF CLASIFICATION?
THANKS,
GORE

If you are referring to the misnomer "vacuum pump", then it is just that: a misnomer. If you are handling a gas or vapor then you are applying a blower or compressor - NOT a pump.
I'm not trying to stress semantics, but rather just trying, as stanlsimon, to find out what you are talking about. Just exactly what do you mean by "vapor proof"? After 46 years in this business I'm still anxious to learn what I missed about the transport of gases and vapors.
Perhaps if you tell us the SPECIFICS (gas/vapor involved, application, suction and discharge temperature & pressure, etc.) we can get a better idea and respond in a positive manner.

This is a pump for high volatile gas (aviation) that works at 50C outside temperature. The tremperature of the gas should be 20C.
The motor of the pump shall be explosion proof.
I supose that the pump itself shall not release any vapour.
for this reson I used the phrase "vapour proof". Maybe I am wrong. What should be the right phrase to discribe the caracteristics of the pump that works in that conditions?
Thank you for your help
