Pump body and sealing material selection guide for different industrial conditions

How to select the casing and seal materials for magnetic gear pumps for various industries

The choice of case and seal materials for a magnetic gear pump is a key factor in ensuring reliable and long-lasting equipment operation.

## Case Materials

Most common materials:

### 316L Stainless Steel
Suitable for most applications:
- Chemical industry
- Food industry
- Medical equipment

### Hastelloy
Used for strong acids and aggressive media.

### Titanium
Ideal for corrosive environments and seawater.

### PEEK (Plastic)
Used in high-purity and special environments.

## Seal Materials

### FKM (Viton)
Standard solution for most chemical fluids.

### EPDM
Suitable for aqueous and alkaline media.

### PFA
Excellent chemical resistance.

### FFKM
Used in extreme conditions and aggressive environments.

## Industry Recommendations

### Chemical Industry
- Case: Hastelloy / 316L  
- Seal: FFKM / PFA  

### Medical Industry
- Case: 316L  
- Seal: FKM  

### Cooling Systems
- Case: 316L  
- Seal: EPDM  

### Printing and Coatings
- Case: 316L / DLC  
- Seal: FKM  

## Conclusion

Correct material selection ensures corrosion resistance, leak-tightness, and a long service life for the equipment.
