How Slurry Density Affects Pump Head and Power Requirements
Slurry density is an important factor in pump system evaluation because it affects pressure and power requirements. For the same pump head, a denser slurry creates higher pressure than water and generally requires more power to pump. However, density does not simply increase pump head in direct proportion. This article explains the relationship between slurry density, head, pressure and power, and why these parameters should be evaluated separately during slurry pump selection.

How to Select a Slurry Pump for Long-Distance Slurry Pipelines
Selecting a slurry pump for a long-distance pipeline requires more than knowing the pipeline length. Engineers need to evaluate required flow, elevation, pipe diameter, system head, slurry density, solids concentration, particle size, transport velocity and operating conditions. This guide explains the main factors that affect long-distance slurry pump selection and when a high head slurry pump or another pumping arrangement may need to be evaluated.

High Head vs High Flow Slurry Pump: What’s the Difference?
High head and high flow describe different slurry pump requirements. Flow rate indicates how much slurry must be transported, while pump head represents the energy required to overcome elevation, friction and other system resistance. A slurry pump can require high head without exceptionally high flow, or high flow without exceptionally high head. This article explains the difference, how head and flow interact on a pump performance curve, and why both values must be considered when evaluating a slurry pumping duty.
