Selecting the right materials for your Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pump is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. This guide will help you understand the key considerations when choosing materials for your AODD pump, ensuring you make informed decisions for your specific application needs.
Different applications require different materials to handle specific chemicals and fluids. Evaluate the compatibility of pump materials with the substances being pumped, considering factors such as chemical resistance, temperature, and abrasion resistance.
Explore common materials used in AODD pumps, such as polypropylene, PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride), aluminum, and stainless steel. Each material offers unique properties, and your choice will depend on the nature of the fluids being handled and the environmental conditions.

Prioritize chemical resistance to ensure the longevity of your AODD pump. Assess the potential corrosive effects of the pumped substances and select materials that can withstand these conditions. Stainless steel, for example, is known for its excellent corrosion resistance.
Take into account the temperature range of your application and the environmental conditions the pump will be exposed to. Some materials may perform better in extreme temperatures or harsh environments, so choose accordingly for optimal pump performance.
While considering material options, keep your budget in mind. Although some materials may have a higher upfront cost, they could offer long-term cost efficiency by reducing maintenance and replacement expenses. Evaluate the overall life cycle cost of each material.
Q: Can I use any material for all types of fluids?
A: No, different materials offer varying levels of chemical resistance. Choose materials based on compatibility with the specific fluids being pumped.
Q: Is stainless steel always the best choice for chemical resistance?
A: While stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, other materials like PVDF and polypropylene may be more suitable for certain chemicals.
Q: How do environmental conditions affect material selection?
A: Harsh environments may require materials with higher resistance to temperature fluctuations, UV exposure, and other external factors.
Q: Are there budget-friendly materials that still offer durability?
A: Yes, materials like polypropylene can be cost-effective while providing excellent chemical resistance and durability.
