The WR ® 650 has dry run traits and characteristics, which are designed to replace metallic wear parts in centrifugal pumps and other pump applications. Green Tweed said: “WR ® 650 delivers high chemical compatibility, excellent wear characteristics, and operability from sub-zero to 500°F (260°C). The material also possesses a coefficient of thermal expansion comparable to steel over a wide range of temperatures, offering a constant running clearance, no interference, and no efficiency drop.” The WR ® 650 is designed to solve the problem of metallic wear parts which fail quickly in dry run conditions and give pump operators limited time to restore

lubrication or shut down a pump before costly damage occurs. According to Green Tweed, the malleable nature of PFA ensures metallic counter- parts are preserved – even those that are relatively soft, which helps to extend pump service life and improve reliability. The WR ® 650 is also reinforced with a 3D carbon-fibre architecture, meaning it can sustain 2.5-times higher dry wear conditions before showing signs of degradation when compared to other PFA-based material. It can also improve the mean time between repair for pumps in refineries, chemical plants, power plants, pipelines and water treatment plants. WR ® 650 is available in a broad range of stock shapes, ranging from ID 1" to OD 12". Greene Tweed www.gtweed.com
