ANSI Pumps
ANSI End-Suction Centrifugal Process Pump (A196 Series)
Aquarius A196-LF Series comply with ASME/ANSI B73.1M Standard Open Impeller Design.
Aquarius A196-LF Series is Directly interchangeable with reputed ITT Goulds© 3196LF Series and many other ANSI Pump Manufacturers’ ANSI Pump Series.
Aquarius A196-LF Series can be used in variety of Low-Flow Process Applications as it is having options in MOC of wetted parts like Iron, Carbon Steel, SS316, Cd4MCuN, Alloy20, Monel, Nickel, Hastelloy C276, Titanium, etc.
Various industries like Petrochemical, Chemical, Primary Metal, Pharma, Food & Beverages, etc. can use Variety of Sealing options and All API Sealing Plans in Aquarius A196-LF Series Process Pumps.
For Low Flow Application, If we throttle regular centrifugal pump then Seal Chamber pressure and Axial Thrust on Bearings will increases and Seal-Bearings will fail in short period of time. Aquarius A196-LF Series pumps are having Circular Volute and Radial Vane Design to eliminate all above problems.

A196-LF Series Circular Volute Feature
The A196 Low Flow Process Pump is designed to operate consistently at low flow rates featuring a concentric (circular volute) casing with an open radial vane impeller to address hydraulic and mechanical problems at throttled low-flow conditions.
Circular Volute Casing :
- Minimizes radical loads
- Longer life for mechanical seals and bearing
- Optimize efficiency and precision hydraulic control
A196-LF Open Radial Vane Impeller :
- Reduce Vibrations, pulsations, and stress
- Enhances vane strength
- Reduce Axial Thrust and Optimize Seal Chamber’s Pressure
- Increased longevity of Seals and Bearings
