Earlier this summer, CheckPoint’s Quality Assurance Director, Tim Damico, answered several troubleshooting FAQs concerning issues with pump stroking.
In the next few weeks, he will address questions pertaining to problems involving chemical leakage in the packing nut:
“Other common causes of prematurely worn packing may pertain to the chemical. Your chemical may be attacking the plunger material. The plunger will be severely worn, pitted, or corroded when inspected. A different plunger material, such as Hastelloy, 17-4 SS or ceramic is indicated.
“It’s possible, too, that the chemical may have abrasives suspended in it. The plunger will appear scored and the packing will appear severely worn if trash in the chemical is indicated. To remove such particles prior to entering the pump, CheckPoint offers the F40 Series In-Line Chemical Filter available in a range of mesh sizes.”
