Marine tank suction pumps are specialized systems designed to transfer liquids like fuel, oil, or water from storage tanks on ships. These pumps ensure efficient and reliable fluid movement, often featuring corrosion-resistant materials for durability in harsh marine environments. They are critical for maintaining vessel operations, fuel management, and ballast control.

Size: Typically ranges from 1" to 12" in diameter, depending on flow rate requirements.

Grade: Marine-grade construction, compliant with ASTM, ISO, and ABS standards.

Viscosity Handling: Capable of handling fluids with viscosities up to 1,000 cSt.

Buoyancy: Designed with buoyant materials or flotation devices for submerged applications.

Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel (316L), bronze, or reinforced thermoplastics.

Flow Rate: Varies from 50 GPM to over 2,000 GPM, depending on pump size and power.

Pressure Rating: Typically operates between 50 PSI to 300 PSI.

Temperature Range: Suitable for -20°C to 150°C (-4°F to 302°F).

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

Seal Type: Mechanical seals or lip seals, often oil-lubricated for durability.

Mounting: Can be deck-mounted, submersible, or inline based on application.

Certifications: Meets SOLAS, MARPOL, and other marine regulatory standards.
