Viking Pump - Form445_Rev A - LVP Series Brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Viking LVP Series Stainless Steel Vane Pumps are engineered for handling corrosive and thin liquids at high pressures, with a capacity of up to 36 M³/Hr (160 GPM) and operational pressures up to 14 Bar (200 PSI). These pumps are versatile, accommodating a wide range of viscosities and temperatures for various industrial applications.

Specifications: Available in metric and inch standards, the pumps feature DIN and ANSI flanges and are compatible with IEC and NEMA motor mounts. Constructed with hardened stainless steel casings, they are designed for durability and extended life.

Benefits: The LVP series offers higher efficiency, smoother flow, better suction lift, and reversible flow direction compared to centrifugal and other vane pumps. They are easy to install with straight-through porting and standard gauge ports for monitoring.

Advanced Durability: Featuring hardened casings and shafts, silicon carbide sleeve bearings, and PEEK® vanes and push rods, these pumps provide superior vacuum capabilities and pressure handling up to 14 Bar (200 PSI).

Ease of Installation: Designed for straightforward installation, the pumps include standard porting, adjustable pressure relief valves, and rotatable casings for flexible porting options, eliminating the need for speed reducers.

Application Flexibility: Compatible with over 200 thin liquids, the LVP series offers broad chemical compatibility and can handle flammable liquids, ideal for high-pressure applications like reactor vessel ingredient metering and vacuum vessel service.

Lower Cost of Ownership: The design includes fewer parts for reduced maintenance, interchangeable discs for extended part life, and tailored sealing solutions to minimize leaks. The bi-directional design eliminates the need for additional pumps in certain applications.

Typical Applications: Suitable for handling acids, alkalies, alcohols, solvents, monomers, refined fuels, and more, providing corrosion protection and thermal shock resistance.

Construction and Materials: Constructed with 316 stainless steel, PEEK® components, and silicon carbide bearings, ensuring durability and compatibility with a wide range of chemicals.

Dimensions and Models: Detailed dimensions and specifications for various models are provided to assist in selecting the appropriate pump for specific applications.

Introduction: Viking Pump has been a leader in the pump industry since 1911, offering innovative solutions and custom designs for challenging applications worldwide.

Performance Range: The pumps offer capacities from 0.5 to 345 M³/Hr, pressures up to 172 Bar, temperatures from -40°C to 370°C, and viscosities from 0.5 to 440,000 cSt.

Sealing Solutions: Viking provides a variety of sealing solutions including packing, mechanical seals, cartridge seals, and sealless Mag Drive technology, offering customized solutions to reduce costs and downtime.

Material Options: Viking's foundries offer materials from cast iron to Hastelloy®, tailored to specific applications to extend pump life and reduce maintenance.
