The bilge pump in a ship is a crucial marine pump designed to remove accumulated water (bilge water) from the lowest compartments. It ensures vessel stability and prevents flooding by discharging water overboard. These pumps are typically automatic or manually operated and are essential for maritime safety.

Size: Typically ranges from 25 mm to 150 mm in diameter.

Grade: Marine-grade compliance with standards like ABS, DNV, or ISO.

Viscosity: Suitable for fluids with viscosities up to 500 cSt.

Buoyancy: Designed to operate in submerged conditions with watertight seals.

Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like bronze, stainless steel, or reinforced plastics.

Flow Rate: Varies from 20 GPM to over 1000 GPM depending on pump size.

Pressure Rating: Typically operates at 3 to 10 bar.

Power Source: Electric, hydraulic, or engine-driven options available.

Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C for standard models.

Installation: Can be mounted vertically or horizontally based on design.
