Material of construction for low pH abrasive slurry

Material of construction for low pH abrasive slurry

(OP)
Any suggestion on material to be used for application with carbonates and silica slurry (S.G. 1.2 and pH 1.2-1.8, average 1.4)?  Will CD4MCu for wetted parts be a good choice? Thank you.

RE: Material of construction for low pH abrasive slurry

You should consider rubber lined pumps over metal pumps for the fine silica and the low pH.
What is temperature,flow and head ?

Artisi, thank you for your reply. The temperature is 68 deg F. The head is 108 ft and the flow is 264 usgpm.

RE: Material of construction for low pH abrasive slurry

Something in the range of a 3x3-10 rubber lined pump would like do fine, but you might want to go a bit larger and slower to prolong life, so a 5x4 or something in that range.
