Subject: Suitability of pump for spray etching

From: "grantfair2001" <grant.fair@...>

I am contemplating using CuCl and HCl as etchant and wonder if this
pump (described below) would withstand this etchant. The concentration
of Hcl would be 5% max.

"Compact motor driven centrifugal pump. The pump is magnetically
driven and has no shaft seals to wear out or leak. The motor is a
shaded pole design and is rated 220 VAC 50/60 Hz 0.22 amp,continuous
duty. The pump body and impeller are constructed from Vectra® plastic.
Theimpeller shaft is ceramic and all internal seals are of Viton®. The
thrust washer isconstructed from Teflon®/fiberglass. The pump output
is 3.75 gal. per minute. Maximumhead is 5.6 feet. Maximum system
working pressure is 75 psi. The pump ports are barbstyle, designed to
work with flexible tubing."
