The Thermal Expansion Of A Gadrock Pump Shaft Sleeves Is
44% Less Than Bronze & 39% Less Than 304SS
So The Possibility Of The Pump Sleeve Sticking
On The Pump Shaft Is Less.
Here Are The Facts:
Linear Thermal Expansion Rate
Formula X 10(-6) ( in / in F Deg. )
Bronze 11.3
304SS 9.6
Gadrock 6.3
Here Are The Facts:
A Coated Shaft Sleeve Can Wear Thru The Coating Or The
Coating Can Be Heat Checked From The Thermal Expansion
Resulting In Excess Leakage & Sleeve Failure.
