Burenin UDC 621.67:666.3 Ceramic structural materials have been employed to make working components of centrifugal pumps used in chemical and petroleum industries because of the unique properties of ceramics: low thermal conductivity and density, high heat resistance, and good resistance to corrosive media and wear. The strength properties of ceramics, which include hard zircon and alumina porcelain as well as cordierite, steatite, oxide, and other ceramic materials, lend themselves to the fabrication of parts for pumps that operate under excess pressure and under rarefaction and are also subject to erosive wear. In view of the exceptionally high chemical stability of ceramic materials, pumps made from them are used to pump almost all corrosive liquids (except for hydroflu- oric, fluorosilicic, and highly concentrated hot phosphoric acid, as well as hot alkali solutions in concentrations of more than 30%). The glaze applied to the inner surfaces of ceramic parts of the flow part of the pump reduces a marked reduction of the hydraulic resistance and adhesion of pumped products to the walls of the part; this means that liquids likely to
