How do I pick the right pump for my application?
|
 |  | You will need to know some specific application details. What is the available air supply pressure, minimum and maximum? The desired fluid or gas pressure ranges? Available fluid or gas supply pressure and volume? Desired fluid or gas volume at pressure? Check the appropriate Technical Data field for relative pumps/boosters or call Customer Service.

|
Once ordered, how long until my catalog item ships?
|
 |  | We have always had one of the shortest lead times in the business and can ship individual catalog pumps and boosters within 3-10 working days. Special items and systems 2-4 weeks. Kits and spare parts 2-4 days. Expediting service is available for urgent requirements.
|
|
What pressure ranges do you offer?
|
 |  | With many ratios available from 2:1 to 735:1 we can offer overlapping pressure ranges from 100 psig to 73,000 psig in liquid pumps and up to 17,000 psig in gas boosters. Please see the Technical Data files for each product, or feel free to contact Customer Service for assistance.
|
|
What accessory components are required to operate pumps and boosters?
|
 |  | All SC Hydraulic pumps and boosters are air driven and consequently are controlled by air pressure and flow. To do this we recommend the use of air filters / regulators (lubricators for the 10-4,10-5 and 10-6 series). To keep noise levels in check, air exhaust mufflers are a necessity on all products. For product protection and longevity we highly recommend the use of filtration for all liquid and gas circuits.
|
|
Can the pumps and boosters be used for more than water, hydraulic fluid and air?
|
 |  | All SC Hydraulic liquid pumps have several wetted sections and seal materials options, allowing many different fluids to be pumped. Our air and gas boosters also can be tailored to specific applications by changing seal media. Please check the individual Technical Data or contact customer service for application recommendations.
