BP vs BPR — Pump Material Selector
Answer 3 questions to determine the right construction for your slurry
1. What is the primary wear mechanism in your slurry?
Abrasion
Sand, ore, coal, gravel
Corrosion
Acid, alkali, chemical
Both
Abrasive + corrosive mix
2. What is the dominant particle size?
Coarse
>6mm rocks, gravel
Medium
1–6mm sand, ore fines
Fine
<1mm silt, chemical precipitate
3. What is the slurry pH range?
Neutral (6–8)
Mildly acidic/alkaline (4–6 or 8–10)
Strongly acidic/alkaline (<4 or >10)
