IntroductionThe ToP-Flo® TF-C Series
centrifugal pumps are designed for efficient product transfer across various industries such as food, beverage, dairy, cosmetics, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and electronics processing. These pumps are easy to install, clean, and operate, and are suitable for Clean-In-Place (CIP) installations, allowing automatic sanitization of all product contact areas.
Ordering InformationOrdering a TF-C Series
pump involves a four-step process: selecting the pump series, inlet size, maximum impeller diameter, and type of seal. Additional specifications like motor data and required accessories should also be provided.
C-Series Specifications
The pumps feature volute-type casings with options for inlet oversizing. Constructed from 316 stainless steel for all wetted parts, seals are available in carbon and other materials. Standard casing gaskets are BUNA-N, with Viton and Teflon as alternatives. The pumps can be polished or electropolished and come with various port connections.
Pump Sizing Guide
The guide includes capacity curves for different models, helping users determine the appropriate impeller size and motor for specific applications. It provides instructions on using the curve charts to find the duty point, impeller diameter, and Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR).
Head Capacity Curve Charts
Detailed capacity curves for models C100, C114, C216, C218, and C328 are included, based on water at 70°F. These charts assist in selecting the right pump configuration for specific flow rates and head pressures.
Viscosity and Specific Gravity Table
This section provides a table to adjust pump performance based on the viscosity and specific gravity of the fluid being pumped.
Friction Loss TableThe friction loss table aids in calculating the pressure loss due to friction in the
piping system, crucial for accurate pump sizing and selection.
Pump Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for each pump model are provided to assist in installation planning and ensuring compatibility with existing systems.
Conclusion
The ToP-Flo® TF-C Series pumps are versatile and durable, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. They offer superior sealing, smooth pumping performance, and ease of maintenance, making them a reliable choice for process industries.
