(OP)
hello ,
we are going to buy a gear pump , we have to unload the fluid from tanker to storage tank,, but we have details that requires , discharge head of 11 meter and flowrate of 30 kl/hr, and specific gravity of 0.99 , can anyone give idea what types and capacity of pump we should buy?

thank you.

RE: design of raciprocating gear pump

can anyone give idea what types and capacity of pump we should buy? You want to buy a gear pump and you know the head (11 m) and the specific gravity of the fluid. It seems that you also know the flow rate. I write "it seems" because the unit "kl/hr" must be wrong or shall it be "Kilo Liter per hour" (I never heard that but....). So, check again what the flow rate shall be and then contact a possible supplier. There are plenty of them in the world. Where are you located?

RE: design of raciprocating gear pump

A gear pump is nearly linear on output versus head, look into gear pump suppliers in your area, it's an easy job, almost gear pumps like viscous fluids and higher heads

I'd look at a common ANSI pump.
