What Makes Viking Pumps Stand Out?

Viking Pumps stand out as the best industrial process pumps on the market today. When it comes to selecting the right pump from the right vendor, buyers can be easily confused due to the many options on the market. This article describes the various standard and special features—all in one place—that make Viking’s line of rotary gear pumps well worth considering (from internal/external gear pumps, to sliding vane pumps…and more). 

Capacity range
Capacity ranges from 0.06 to 1,600 GPM, with over 50 sizes available in this range.

Viscosities
Wide range of fluid viscosities, from lowest (0.1 cSt) to highest (1,000,000 cSt).
