Manufacturer of fluid handling equipment, Graco Inc., has launched its new line of Husky 1050 natural gas-operated double diaphragm pumps for the midstream and upstream oil and gas markets.
Conforming to CSA/AM ANSI STD LC 6 and certified to CSA STD T.I.L. No. R-14, Graco’s expanded line of one-inch (25 mm) pumps safely operate on natural gas or compressed air. Operating diaphragm pumps using alternative energy sources, such as natural gas, provides installation flexibility in environments where standard energy is limited, reducing the need for multiple pumps on the jobsite.
Husky 1050 double diaphragm pumps perform well in the transfer of low, mid and high viscosity fluids, including glycol recirculation, and are designed to withstand deadhead and dry-run conditions without causing damage to the pump or surrounding equipment. The double diaphragm pumps have flow rates which reach 50 gallons (189 litres) per min and pressures up to 120 psi (8.3 bar).
