NM 3196

The NM 3196 is the nonmetallic version of the company’s Model 3196, which is more expensive as it is designed for highly corrosive fluids. The nonmetallic model is made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic and features a high-performance volute design, making its internal casing passageways hydraulically smoother and 20% more efficient than similar metal pumps. The pump features i-FRAME power ends, which incorporate multiple patented technologies to reduce downtime and replacement costs. The i-ALERT component is an onboard condition monitor that automatically tracks temperature and vibration, warning users with a flashing light-emitting diode (LED) display when either condition exceeds normal parameters. The pump’s heavy-duty shafts and bearings provide a 10-yr average lifespan under tough operating conditions. The pump can operate at temperatures up to 195­°F and withstand excess vibration up to twice the baseline level. It is available in 13 sizes with capacities up to 1,400 gal/m (318 m3/h) and heads to 500 ft (152 m).
