Note: Except for BBP, which is listed first as requested, the remaining companies are presented in no particular order. Slurry pump manufacturers are companies that design and supply pumps for liquids carrying abrasive, dense or settleable solids. Choosing among them…
Automatic Recirculation Valves: How They Protect Boiler Feed and High-Pressure Pumps at Minimum Flow

Quick Specs Body materials ASTM A105 (forged steel), A216 WCB (cast steel) Pressure classes ANSI Class 150 to 2500 Line sizes 1 in to 20 in (25 mm to 500 mm) Minimum-flow setpoint range No single percentage applies across pump…
Pump Affinity Laws: Flow, Head, Power Formulas and VFD Worked Examples

Pump affinity laws are three ratio formulas that predict how a rotodynamic pump’s flow, head, and power change when its speed or impeller diameter is adjusted — the same physics behind BBP’s centrifugal water pump range. The quick-reference table below…
Pump Power Formula: Convert Flow and Head into Hydraulic, Shaft, and Motor Power
![Pump Power Formula: Hydraulic, Shaft & Motor Power [Guide]](https://bbpmfg.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/pump-power-formula-featured-768x512.png)
Updated August 2026 The pump power formula is the equation that converts flow rate and head into hydraulic, shaft, or motor power, depending on which point in the energy chain you’re measuring. Every version you find online reduces to the…
VFD-Controlled Pump Energy Savings: The Complete ROI Guide

Updated August 2026 Credible vfd pump energy savings roi analysis starts with measured pump duty, not a motor nameplate or a promised percentage. Variable frequency control can cut input energy when demand varies and fixed-speed operation wastes head, but static…
5 Reasons Split Case Fire Pumps Get Red-Tagged in NFPA 20 Inspections (and How to Fix Each Before the Inspector Arrives)

A split case fire pump NFPA 20 red tag inspection finding is the result an authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) or an inspection/test/maintenance (ITM) contractor reaches when they determine the system, driver, controller, or paperwork to be non-compliant and refuse to…
Slurry Transfer Pump vs In-Process Slurry Pump: Long-Distance Pumping Guide

Quick specs for this guide Selection boundary: whole transfer route versus one process operation Core inputs: route profile, required flow, slurry condition and operating pattern Decision assets: duty-boundary test, head worksheet, velocity window, and four-duty-point RFQ Evidence limit: no BBP…
Pump Cavitation: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention Across Pump Types

Updated July 2026 Quick Specs Trigger mechanism Local pressure drops below the liquid’s vapor pressure, forming vapor bubbles that collapse under higher pressure downstream Two root categories Suction cavitation (low inlet pressure) and discharge cavitation (restricted outlet) Audible signature A…
Cavitation in Slurry Pumps: NPSH Math, Solids-Driven Onset Shift, and How to Diagnose It Before It Pits Your Impeller
![Cavitation in Slurry Pumps NPSH Solids Onset [Field Guide]](https://bbpmfg.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/cavitation-in-slurry-pumps-featured-1-768x512.png)
Cavitation in slurry pumps npsh solids onset is the working search label for a diagnostic boundary: local pressure, liquid condition, and inlet flow can allow vapor structures to form before their collapse produces noise, instability, or impeller damage. Updated July…
