Conductive plastic pumps for safe transfer operations

| By Chemical Engineering

GoatThroat Pumps

Available in March, the SCP-6500 Pumps (photo) feature a lug with a grounding wire on the front of the pumps, and made with conductive plastic, these pumps allow users of flammable liquids to ground the pumps, making them safe for use with Class 1 and Class 2 flammables. All components of this pump that come in contact with the fluid are created with conductive plastic, so there is grounding of the liquid, the pump and, with correct bonding, the container. — GoatThroat Pumps, Milford, Conn.
