Built to last for LACT boost operations, the IMO LB6D pumps are engineered for maximum functional performance and the minimum of operating expenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With IMO LB6D three-screw pumps, LACT system builders and oil drillers have a pump they can rely on despite challenging crude oil viscosities and oil contaminants prevalent in harsh field conditions. The screw pumps offer high-pressure boost advantages, with boost oil pressure better than typical gear pump solutions. They also offer less downtime; new pump technology forms protective closures around contaminants, reducing or eliminating costly maintenance intervals experienced from direct wear on gear pumps. The IMO LB6D Series\u2019 wear resistance increases service life based on competitive laboratory accelerated wear testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IMO LB6B pumps feature thoughtful engineering, with surface hardness similar to ceramic in the housing bores and a silicon carbide mechanical seal design for limited distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMO pumps are available for a very wide range of fluids, with viscosity from 1.5 to more than 100,000 centistoke (cSt) and temperatures ranging from 0 to 500oF. They are offered for flow rates from 2-3,300 gallons per minute and pressures up to 2,500 pounds per square gauge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIRCOR International, Inc&#8217;s new IMO LB6D 3-screw pumps is suitable for use in oil and gas industry lease automatic custody transfer (LACT) applications.
