Portable Bilge Pumps and Marine Pumps typically feature the following key specifications and technical properties:
Size: Ranges from compact (6-12 inches) to larger models (up to 24 inches) depending on capacity.
Grade: Marine-grade construction, often meeting ABYC, USCG, or ISO standards.
Viscosity: Suitable for pumping fluids with viscosities up to 1,000 cSt (centistokes).
Buoyancy: Some models include buoyant housings or float switches for automatic operation.
Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, aluminum, or high-impact plastics (e.g., ABS, polypropylene).
Flow Rate: Varies from 500 GPH (gallons per hour) for small pumps to over 10,000 GPH for heavy-duty models.
Power Source: 12V/24V DC, 110V/220V AC, or manual operation (hand pumps).
Discharge Size: Common hose diameters include 1", 1.5", or 2" for efficient water removal.
Weight: Lightweight models (2-5 lbs) for portability; heavier-duty pumps may exceed 15 lbs.
Seal Type: Mechanical seals or lip seals to prevent leaks and ensure durability.
Temperature Range: Operates in -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) environments.
Certifications: May include CE, UL, or IPX ratings for water and electrical safety.
