AMT Pump 388F-97 Inline Centrifugal Pump, Bronze, 1/2 HP, 1 Phase, 115/230V, Curve A, 1-1/2" NPT Female Suction & Discharge Ports

This AMT 388F-97 bronze inline centrifugal pump has a 1/2 hp, 115/230V, 1 phase electric motor and 1-1/2" female NPT suction and discharge ports. This pump has A curve performance with a 50 gallons per minute (gpm) maximum flow rate and 48 feet maximum vertical lift at 3,450 RPM. The pump housing has a pull-from-rear design for servicing without disturbing pump housing connections, a stainless steel self-cleaning impeller that handles semi-solids up to 1/8" diameter, and buna-n mechanical seal and O-ring. The motor enclosure is TEFC (totally enclosed, fan cooled) for protection from dust and indirect water spray and complies with National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) 56J standard for mounting dimensions. This portable pump requires flooded suction for priming and is suitable for use in applications such as liquid transfer, recirculation, and wash down.SpecificationsMotor1/2 hp, 115/230V, 8/4 amp, 1 phase, TEFCPumpCentrifugal, not self-primingMaximum flow rate50 gpmImpellerSelf-cleaning, semi-openSuction port1-1/2" NPTDischarge port1-1/2" NPTMaximum operating temperature180 degrees FStandards metNEMA 56JDimensions*13/33** x 8.9/22.6** x 8.7/22 (L x W x H) inches/centimeters* L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point**This measurement may vary due to motor manufacturer's specificationsPumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. The company is headquartered in Royersford, PA.
