Witness testing for Amarinth API 685 Magnetic Drive
In addition to its comprehensive range of API 610 pumps, Amarinth designs and manufactures a range of high-specification API 685 horizontal and vertical Magnetic Drive pumps.
Magnetic Drive pumps are often used where leakage of the pumped fluid poses a great risk, such as with aggressive or toxic liquids. In a Magnetic Drive pump, a hermetically sealed housing contains any process fluid in a closed system and the power transmission occurs contact-free through magnets from the drive shaft to the process wetted output shaft, negating the need for any seal support system.
Seen here is the containment lantern which houses the magnetic drive undergoing witness hydro testing with DNV.
