Fire boat pumps are specialized marine pumps designed for firefighting on watercraft and docks. Marine pumps are versatile devices used for bilge pumping, ballast transfer, and other water handling tasks on ships. Both types are built to withstand harsh marine environments and ensure reliable operation.

Fire Boat Pumps and Marine Pumps typically feature the following specifications:

Size: Ranges from 2" to 12" discharge diameter, with flow capacities from 500 GPM to over 10,000 GPM.

Grade: Compliant with NFPA 1925, SOLAS, and ABS standards for marine and firefighting applications.

Viscosity: Designed to handle low-viscosity fluids like seawater and freshwater, but some models can manage oils up to 150 cSt.

Buoyancy: Typically not buoyant; mounted on vessels with corrosion-resistant materials for stability.

Material: Constructed from bronze, stainless steel (316L), or cast iron with epoxy coatings for saltwater resistance.

Pressure Rating: Operating pressures range from 100 PSI to 300 PSI, with some high-capacity pumps exceeding 500 PSI.

Power Source: Diesel engines or electric motors, with power ratings from 50 HP to over 1,000 HP.

Temperature Range: -20°C to 120°C (-4°F to 248°F) for standard models, with specialized variants for extreme conditions.

Seal Type: Mechanical seals or gland packing, often with double seals for leak prevention in marine environments.
