Sandpiper’s GODD Pump, the G20F, is a gas-operated double-diaphragm pump that has been designed to be powered by easily accessible natural gas. The AODD Pump application driven by natural gas created a unique set of requirements that did not exist prior to its creation. A partnership was created between Sandpiper and Canadian Standards Association (CSA®) to lead the development of the first-ever safety certification for gas-operated double diaphragm pump. The main concern in this application is the potential for static electricity build up due to material and product movement which the release of these static discharge in these applications could lead to a sparking, that could lead to a flash fire and potential explosion. The CSA specification sets standards to prevent static electricity accumulations as well as standards for burst pressure; heat resistance, leakage and upper and lower temperature operation. The pumps are fully ground-able and are constructed of materials compatible with sweet and sour natural gas; Aluminum or 316 Stainless Steel wetted construction with Nitrile or Virgin PTFE diaphragm and check balls.
