Cat Pumps offers its high pres-sure block-style plunger pumps with manifolds made from titanium. Titanium offers excellent chemical resistance and can be used in sea water pumping applications and for pumping sulphurous fluids. It is also light in weight yet its mechanical properties make it ideal for high pressure applications.
The manifold blocks and internal parts such as valves and seats are machined from solid billets of material to minimize the possibility of porosity and inclusions and to provide superior surface metallurgy compared to cast pump designs. Computer Aided Design methods are used to optimise the each pump type, including use of finite area analysis to minimise the stresses and to control factors of safety.
