SKGY Centrifugal Oil Pump
Oil duty in an inline body, for gasoline, kerosene and diesel where the installation has pipe space but no floor space.
Overview
What This Pump Does
The SKGY is the oil duty build of the vertical inline range, intended for petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene and diesel oil, with a published maximum viscosity of 750 cSt.
Flow covers 1.5 to 1200 m3/h with a maximum head of 80 m and a maximum fluid temperature of 120 degrees Celsius, with drives to 160 kW.

Key Benefits
Oil Duty Without Floor Space
Inline Oil Transfer
The pump sits in the pipe run, which suits fuel installations where the pipework is elevated and floor area is committed.
Published Viscosity Limit
750 cSt maximum, so selection is made against the product rather than a water curve.
Hydrocarbon Seal Arrangement
Mechanical seal with hard alloy faces or packing gland, with elastomers for petroleum service.
Material Options
Cast iron or stainless casing with cast iron, stainless or bronze impeller.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Fuel Transfer Installations
Moving gasoline, kerosene and diesel where the pipework is already routed.
Plant Oil Circulation
Circulating oil inside a works at temperatures up to 120 degrees.
Depot Duty
Transfer at higher flow rates with moderate head requirements.
Who It Is For
- Fuel handling contractors
- Power and industrial plants with fuel systems
- Petrochemical operations
- Engineers fitting pumps into existing fuel pipework
Problems It Solves
No floor space for an oil pump
The inline body is carried by the pipework, so the pump fits where a horizontal set would not.
Selection made on a water curve
A published viscosity limit makes it possible to check the selection against the actual product.
Seal compatibility
Elastomers and faces are chosen for hydrocarbons rather than carried over from a water build.

Compared With Other Options
| SKWY horizontal oil pump | Same oil duty on the horizontal platform, with all round access for maintenance. |
|---|---|
| K2CY gear pump | A gear pump suits thicker oil and steady pressure duty. The SKGY moves larger volumes at lower viscosity. |
Use Guide
Fuel Duty Installation Notes
Check Cold Viscosity
Winter start viscosity can be several times the working value and decides the motor rating.
Follow Static Control
Bonding and earthing per the site procedure for hydrocarbon installations.
Support The Pipe
Brace the pipework either side so the pump takes no strain from the line.
Inspect The Seal
On fuel duty any seal weep is a safety issue and should be actioned immediately.
Answers
SKGY Centrifugal Oil Pump FAQ
Which products can it move?
Petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene and diesel oil, within the published viscosity and temperature limits.
What is the viscosity limit?
750 cSt as published. Thicker products need a positive displacement pump.
What flow and head are available?
1.5 to 1200 m3/h with a maximum head of 80 m.
Can the motor be explosion protected?
Motor specification follows the area classification. State the zone and the standard with the enquiry.
Is there a horizontal version?
Yes, the SKWY, with the same oil duty ratings.
