Steel pumps are produced in different designs with different power and head, and are used as centrifugal pumps in various industries such as water supply, refrigeration, food and general applications.
Steel pumps have anti-rust properties, especially in humid environments. Steel electropumps are used for pumping clean and semi-clean liquids, which are designed and produced in horizontal and vertical types. The presence of two elements, chromium with 18% and nickel with 8%, in combination with iron or an alloy of iron and steel has increased the resistance of the steel pump.
This pump is used in sanitary applications, and has high resistance to corrosion and sediment. The electromotor in these pumps is of the 2900 rpm type with three-phase power consumption.
Depending on the type of pump construction, such as lobe pumps, diaphragm pumps, and centrifugal pumps, the price of each is different. Grades 304, 310, 312, and 316 are widely used in the production of steel bolts and pumps. Grade 304 is known as stainless steel and grade 316 is known as non-stainless steel, which is used in the manufacture of steel pumps.
A small percentage of metal is used in the alloy composition of grade 316, which is why grade 304 has a lower price than grade 316.
Application of steel pumps
- Transferring and pumping of fluids with acidic properties
- Transferring and pumping of fluids in the food and pharmaceutical industries
- Boiler water supply system
Advantages of steel pumps

Steel pump components
- Impeller: Responsible for transporting fluids and is made of stainless steel.
- Motor: Provides the necessary force for the impeller to rotate.
- Body: Protects the internal components of the pump, made of stainless steel.
- Shaft: Transfers power from the motor to the impeller.
- Sealing system: Prevents fluid leakage from inside the pump.
Types of Centrifugal Pumps
- Steel Gear Pump
- Diaphragm Pump
- Steel Centrifugal Pump
The most widely used pump in the world is the centrifugal pump, which has various types in terms of material and dimensions. It has the advantage of being resistant to corrosive acidic and alkaline fluids.
Buying a Steel Pump
Before buying a steel pump, it is better to make sure about the properties and type of fluid that is going to be pumped by the intended pump. Depending on the working environment conditions, you can save costs and use pumps made of weak materials.
