Product catalog summary
Overview of HII Air Driven Liquid Pumps
Hydraulics International, Inc. (HII) provides air driven liquid pumps that utilize differential working areas. These pumps feature an air piston driving a smaller plunger, creating a pressure ratio for maximum outlet pressure. Operating at 12-150 psi drive air pressure, they cycle automatically with compressed air, are self-priming, compatible with various fluids, and can use alternative gases like nitrogen. They are explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, and ISO 9001:2008 & AS9100-2009 certified.
Advantages
  • No lubrication needed for air drive line.
  • Compatible with diverse fluids and gases.
  • Stainless steel construction for most models.
  • High pressure capability up to 80,000 psi.
  • Energy-efficient, maintaining pressure without energy consumption.
Typical Applications
  • Hydrostatic testing for component integrity verification.
  • Clamping and pressing with maintained output pressure.
  • Valve actuation requiring high force at low gas pressures.
  • Portable hydraulic tools needing compact, lightweight solutions.
Model Selection
Choosing an HII pump involves considering maximum discharge pressure, flow rate, drive air pressure and quantity, fluid type, working temperature, and application type. A detailed model selection table provides specifications for various models, including maximum outlet pressure and port details.
Materials and Compatibility
Pumps are made with materials like 316SS and 15-5 PH stainless steel, with BUNA-N and UHMWPE seals. They are compatible with hydraulic fluids, water, solvents, and liquefied gases, with temperature limits from +10°F to +150°F.

AIR DRIVEN LIQUID PUMPS-2

HOW THE PUMP WORKS Hydraulics International, Inc. (HII) air driven liquid pumps operate on the principle of differential working areas. An air piston drives a smaller diameter plunger or piston to provide a pressure ratio. The pressure ratio is the method of determining maximum outlet pressure available. Hydraulics International model numbers reflect the nominal pressure ratio of the pumps. Hydraulics International liquid pumps operate at a drive air pressure of 12-150 psi (0.8-10 Bar) and will cycle automatically when compressed air is first applied to the drive. It will start cycling at its...

HYDROSTATIC TESTING: Any component that is made to hold liquid or gas pressure needs to be carefully tested after manufacture or repair to verify its integrity, and/or to calibrate it. H.I.I. air driven pumps can simplify this requirement in a broad range of industries. CLAMPING-PRESSING-RELEASING: Hydraulic cylinders or rams that are required to maintain an output force without movement for long periods need a hydraulic pump that can maintain output pressure at zero flow for a long periods with no heat being generated. H.I.I. air driven pumps will do this over virtually any pressure range. VALVE...

PERFORMANCE CURVES These curves predict the performance of each model using drive pressures shown 150/95/75/50-psi, 10/7/5/3-Bar (interpolate for other pressures). Maximum flow points presume 1/4” I.D. drive line minimum to 3L Series; 1/2” I.D. minimum to 5L Series; And 3/4” I.D. minimum to 7L Series. Note: Limited drive flow does not inhibit maximum outlet pressure capacity. AIR DRIVE FLOW (DOTTED CURVES) NOTES: 1 Shaded area exceeds rated pressure.
