Gear pump vibrations
Gear pump vibrations
(OP)
Hello Friends,
I have a 2'' 100LPM gear pump, I used it to transfer lubricant additives from the drum to a mixing tank.
I connect the pump to a piping system by a flexible plastic tube.
I want to change this tube to a stiffer hose and my concern is that because pump has vibrations this new pump-tube connection will be noisy, and expensive.
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks.

See the top plastic hose.

If the new tube is too stiff, it's because it has allot of metal so it will make a specific noise (like one frequency meets a different one), I know it from other places that I have this type of tube. I think it is called an "electric sequencing"
So balance is needed. I think a Compotech tube can work, just spoke to the supplier today.

A longer flexible pipe will absorb the vibrations.
