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.
