Pressure and suction transmissions
Pressure transmission is the transportation of fluids through a pressure line – a hose or pipe that carries the fluid from the pump outlet (pressure side) to the desired outlet, such as a well, pipe or tank.
It may sound simple, but proper pressure transmission requires an understanding of flow, pressure loss, connections and safety. Incorrect sizing can lead to inefficient operation, leaks or unintended load on the pump.
A pressure line typically operates under positive pressure from the pump outlet. Depending on the flow and piping, this must be taken into account:
Pressure loss in long or narrow lines
Back pressure in the system, e.g. at high lifting heights
Safety – e.g. securing and relieving heavy hoses
Coupling types to ensure tight joints during operation
RH Pumper always dimensions the pressure transmission based on flow, distance and fluid type – so you get a reliable and optimal solution.
Stable and controlled fluid transport
Extends pump life by minimizing stress
Less risk of leaks and breakdowns
Easily connect and adapt to existing systems
Can be set up quickly – even temporarily
Bypass pumping during sewer renovation
Emptying wells and tanks
Drainage and groundwater management
Industrial wastewater transport
Temporary or mobile pump installations
Pressure transmission can be done with different materials depending on the application:
Hoses:
Rubber hoses for high pressure
PVC pressure lines for easy transportation and quick installation
PE welded pipes for long and durable installations
Couplings and fittings:
Bauer, Storz or Camlock couplings
Screw joints and flanges for fixed installations
Option for blind caps and check valves
Special considerations:
Relief for long stretches
Anchoring and safety on construction sites
Soundproofing or heat insulation for special requirements
