Ram Pumps factory at Worthing, West Sussex,is just a short distance from the south coast ports andGatwick and Heathrow Airports.
Design, Development & Manufacture ofReciprocating Process Pumps to API standards
Ram Pumps Limited was formed in1972. Our goal was, as it is today, toprovide quality, dependable, highpressure reciprocating pumps tomeet special requirements in alltypes of industrial applications.
There clearly was and is a marketrequirement for a manufacturer tosupply a complete range of qualityhigh pressure pumps and customdesigned pump units for highlydemanding applications.
The capability of our company andthe range of our products havegrown to meet this challenge. Ourexceptional performance has beenproven, with many of our clients
being some of the largestorganizations in the world.
Our extensive range of pumps andpump units with their controlequipment are designed to meet theexact specifications issued by ourclients.
CAT PUMPS purchased the Companyin the year 2000. Ram Pumps'traditional market in the oil and gasindustry was further strengthenedwith this acquisition and a range of"standard pumps" was engineered tomeet larger capacity demands ofother markets such as seawaterreverse osmosis.

The current range of processpressure pumps from Ram Pumps ishigh quality, powerful and reliableto match the exacting requirementsof Industries such as "Oil and Gas",both on and off shore and chemicalprocessing.
The Concept follows a moderndesign appearance that has come tobe easily recognised by users ofhigh-pressure pumps. The technicalspecification is based on the currentAmerican Petroleum InstituteStandard 674, this being acceptedas the industry standard around theworld. The products have a proventrack record of excellence inperformance with a no-nonsensephilosophy of quality engineering inall areas of construction.
Our Process Pumps have an almostinfinite variation of build optionsthat stem from over 25 yearsexperience constructing specialpurpose pumps and pump units.The pumps, as a philosophy, do not
have integral gearboxes, so as notto limit the exact speed and poweravailable to the client. Power istypically supplied to the pump byTEFC electric or any degree ofspecial build or explosion proofmotor and a gearbox, V-belts ortiming belts. Various other types ofdrives are available including DCMotors, Torque Converters, ACInverters, Diesel or Gas Engines orvariable capacity mechanical orhydraulic power packs.
316 Stainless Steel liquid heads arethe preferred construction, but thereare many options on materials ofconstruction such as Carbon Steel,low and high temperature alloys,Duplex Alloy or Hasteloy. There arealso an infinite variety of packingarrangements that can be fitted,coming from a continuingdevelopment program that has beenrunning for over 25 years.

Ram Pumps Ltd. operates a QualityManagement system in compliancewith BS EN ISO 9001 and themanufacture of all the Company’sproducts is undertaken in ourfactory in West Sussex, England.
A highly experienced DesignEngineering Department, usinglatest Computer Aided DesignTechniques produces the requireddrawings and technical informationfor production.
Our factory is staffed with a teamof specialized personnel who takepride in their dedication to theproduction of a high quality productline, including bare-shaft pumps andcustom designed pump units, fullytested and ready for delivery andinstallation.
SINGLE PROJECT SPECIALPURPOSE PUMPSWe offer an infinite variety of specialbuild options with API compliancefor the oil and gas industry.
Our consistent quality engineering,manufacturing and speedy responseto market conditions enable theCompany to meet the exact needsof our clients, who require specialpurpose, custom designed pumps orpump units.
We start with our standard pumpdesign, complete a detailed reviewof our client's applicationspecifications and design a custompump or pump unit to meet eachunique requirement. Speciallubricating systems, hightemperature packings, specialplunger materials or special paintfinishes are just a few of the customfeatures available. With the manydesign options, we can offer a veryacceptable delivery, while meetingthese special requirements.
STANDARD PUMPSWe offer superior lead-time forstandard performance pumps.
Under the new CAT PUMPSmanagement, evolving designs andinvestment in manufacturing hasallowed the Company to producestandard pump models in largerproduction batches, offering theclient superior lead-times andfavorable prices. The proven chevronpacking design and concentric solidceramic plungers are featuredthroughout these standard pumpmodels. Standard duplex stainlesssteel liquid-end construction offers avery affordable and durable pumpfor reverse osmosis and otherchemical and industrial applications.

Crankcases are constructed fromhigh tensile S.G. Iron offeringexceptional strength, vibrationdampening, flame and sparkresistance for hazardous areas.
Crankshafts are constructed fromhigh tensile materials, suitably heat-treated and processed offeringunmatched service life.
Bearings are large capacity taperedroller bearings offering maximumload bearing support at each end ofthe crankshaft. Special bearings canbe fitted for high stress applications.
Lubrication on all standard pumpmodels is splash/submersion whilethe larger capacity models havepressure lubrication driven directlyby the crankshaft of the pump. Inthe latter case pressure oil issupplied to big and small endbearings with splash to all othermoving parts. Other lubricationoptions are available.
Liquid End: Pressure containingparts are offered in ANSI 316Stainless Steel, Duplex Alloy orCarbon Steel for a quality productthat provides maximum life and awide range of compatibility.
Plungers and Packings:Considerable lab and field testinghas gone into the development ofthese items, providing a largenumber of solutions to suit varyingapplications. Plungers can beoffered in a variety of materialsfrom solid Ceramic to TungstenCarbide coated, while packings arePTFE/Kevlar or any number of othermaterials. Long service life can beexpected from the product beforemaintenance is required.
Transmissions: All pumps in therange are designed with a 'bareshaft' format to allow for all types oftransmission to be applied giving atotally flexible product. Most pumpsare available for chassis or specialoverhead electric motor mounting,advantageous where space is at apremium. For the larger requirements,a full range of helical and wormgearboxes are offered for use witheither electric motors or internalcombustion engines.
Painting: Two pack Epoxy paints areused as standard, but many otherfinishes are available in any choiceof color. Our sales office will bepleased to quote.
Testing: Both pumps and customdesigned packages are fully workstested at duty point regardless of size.

� Each frame size has a number ofplunger diameter options providinga wide range of performances tobest suit the applicationrequirements. Refer to Data Sheetsin back for model and performanceselection.
� Liquid-end construction andelastomers must be compatible withthe liquid being pumped,temperature and other applicationvariables.
� The drive is dependant upon thelocation of the application, theavailable electricity, safetyrequirements, duty-cycle andmatching of the pump RPM anddrive.
� The pump is the heart of thesystem, but adequate Pressure reliefand other system accessories areequally important for optimumperformance and life.
� Technical support accompaniesevery product. We have a highlytrained sales and engineering staffavailable to assist you with theselection of one of our standardproducts or we will review yourcustom requirements and design apump to meet your specific needs.
Volumetric Efficiency (%)The data has been presented using avolumetric efficiency of 95% forpressures up to 200 bar (3,000 psi).At higher pressures the volumetricefficiency will reduce. At 700 bar(10,000) psi, it will be reduced by5%, approximately 1% peradditional 100 bar (1500 psi).
Pump Speed (RPM)The performances for each modellisted are the Maximum Rated RPMand flow. Being positive displacement pumps,the RPM of each can be reduced todecrease the flow, down to thestated minimum RPM listed.
Mechanical Efficiency (ηηm %)The pumps have a mechanicalefficiency better than 90% overmost of their performance range.The conservative figure of 85% isused in determining the requiredpower [kW / HP]. The efficiency ofthe transmission system should beallowed for. (ηt %)
Required Power (kW / HP)Do not exceed the rated power [kW / HP] for the pump.
