Methanol medium pressure pump needed

AI Thread Summary
A project requires a methanol pump capable of handling temperatures around 140F, with a flow rate of 1 to 2 gpm and a pressure of 150-200 psi. The pump must also be able to run dry, as it may not always have fluid available. Recommendations include considering a large peristaltic pump due to the specific flow and pressure requirements. One suggested option is from Eccentric Pumps, which meets the flow and pressure criteria, though chemical compatibility needs verification. Finding a suitable pump in a single package may be challenging given these specifications.

I have a project that i am doing that requires that i pump methanol at a temperature of about 140F at a volume of about 1 to 2 gpm and a pressure of around 150 - 200 psi. It must be capable of 'run dry' by which i mean that it may not always have fluid to pump. Can anyone give me a lead on a pump that will fill this need?

How about something like this:

Or maybe the pump out of this kit if you can find it:

You'll probably have to go with a large peristaltic pump. I must say that the flow and higher pressure that you're looking for may make it tough to find in a single package.

Try taking a look here:

This one I came across will do the flow and the pressure. I didn't look into chemical compatibility though.
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
