Introduction With the continuous advancement of global industrialization, the demand for process pumps in the chemical industry continues to grow. As a critical fluid transfer device in chemical processes, chemical process pumps play a vital role in maintaining production continuity, improving efficiency, and ensuring safety and environmental compliance. This article will explore the classification, key features of current chemical process pumps, and the latest trends in market demand.       Classification of Chemical Process Pumps and Standards 1. Classification by Working Principle    - Centrifugal Pumps: Rely on the centrifugal force generated by a high-speed rotating impeller to transfer the fluid. These are the most common type of process pumps in the chemical industry, suitable for low-viscosity fluids with minimal particulates.    - Positive Displacement Pumps: Including gear pumps, screw pumps, and plunger pumps, these pumps transfer fluid through volume changes in the pump chamber, making them suitable for high-viscosity fluids or applications requiring precise metering.    - Magnetically Driven Pumps: Utilize magnetic couplings to transfer power, providing strong sealing capabilities. They are ideal for handling toxic, flammable, and explosive hazardous chemical fluids.   2. Classification by Material    - Metallic Pumps: Such as stainless steel and alloy pumps, are primarily used for transporting highly corrosive acidic and alkaline media. The choice of metallic material depends on the corrosiveness and temperature requirements of the medium.    - Non-Metallic Pumps: Such as fluoroplastic and ceramic pumps, offer superior corrosion resistance and are used for handling highly corrosive fluids, particularly in specialized applications where metallic pumps may not suffice.   3. Classification by Drive Type    - Electric Pumps: Driven by electric motors, these are the most common type of process pumps, suitable for various conditions, especially in continuous chemical operations.    - Pneumatic Pumps: Powered by compressed air, they are typically used in flammable or explosive environments, offering higher safety as they do not require electricity.    - Hydraulic Pumps: Driven by hydraulic systems, they are suitable for high-pressure applications, often used in processes requiring high delivery pressure. 4. Classification by Installation Method    - Horizontal Pumps: The pump shaft is installed horizontally, suitable for large spaces with easy maintenance, commonly found in large chemical plants.    - Vertical Pumps: The pump shaft is installed vertically, ideal for limited space, usually used for liquid transfer from underground tanks or deep wells.   2. Key Features of Chemical Process Pumps 1.
