What is the Casing of a Pump Called?

2025-11-13

A casting pump casing is a core component of fluid machinery such as centrifugal pumps. Its main functions include housing and protecting internal components, withstanding pressure, guiding fluid flow, and preventing leaks.


Casting pump casing Materials: 

Casting pump casings are made from a variety of materials, and the choice of material depends on the type of medium being pumped.

 

The material of the casting pump casing is selected based on the properties of the medium, the environment, and other factors.

 

Common materials for casting pump casings include ductile iron, high-chromium alloys, stainless steel, and other composite materials.

 

If you need to pump common media, such as water or clean liquids, cast iron or stainless steel casting pump casings are more economical.

 

For handling corrosive or high-temperature, high-pressure fluids, stainless steel and high-chromium alloy casting pump casings are more suitable.

 

If the medium contains a large number of solid particles or sharp objects, chromium alloys, which offer the highest wear resistance, are the best choice.

 

Composite materials are lightweight. If your pump requires only a small flow rate, choose composite materials, such as for peristaltic pumps.

 

In short, only by choosing the right materials can a pump achieve optimal efficiency and thus extend its service life.

Types of centrifugal pump casings:

 

1. Volute casing.

Volute casings can be divided into single volute and double volute casings. Compared to the latter, double volute casings can withstand greater pressure and have a longer service life.

 

2. Diffuser casing.

Diffuser casings are a common type of casing. This type of casing has a more complex structure and higher manufacturing costs. It also boasts high efficiency and reduces additional expenses.

 

3. Split-type pump casing.

This type of pump casing is easier to install. With two parts, it improves the efficiency of installation, repair, and replacement.
