Goulds 1.5x3-10 3196 MTi Centrifugal Pump 9" Impeller 316SS

The Goulds 3196 MTi is a robust ANSI process centrifugal pump designed for demanding industrial applications, particularly in chemical processing, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and general industry sectors. This model features a 1.5-inch suction and 3-inch discharge with a nominal 10-inch impeller diameter, trimmed to 9 inches for optimized performance. Constructed from durable 316 stainless steel (316SS), it offers excellent corrosion resistance for handling aggressive fluids, slurries, and corrosive liquids. Key features include an open impeller design for easy maintenance, a back pull-out configuration that allows servicing without disturbing piping, and i-FRAME technology for extended bearing life and reduced downtime. Advantages over similar products include superior reliability, with MTBF (mean time between failures) often exceeding competitors, and compatibility with ANSI B73.1 standards for interchangeability. Benefits include high efficiency (up to 80% in optimal conditions), low NPSHr for cavitation resistance, and versatility in handling temperatures up to 500°F and pressures up to 375 psig. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost compared to non-ANSI pumps and the need for precise alignment during installation. This unit appears refurbished, making it a cost-effective option for reliable fluid transfer in harsh environments.
