Explosion-proof pumps, as the name suggests, are explosion-proof. They work to operate in hazardous environments. If you need pumps to operate in a hazardous environment, there are some recommended pumps for you. These are Goulds' Explosion-Proof Pumps and Liberty Explosion-Proof Pumps. These pumps have components that are specially designed explosion-proof. The plug, switch, and motors are especially so designed. The pump heads are not especially explosion-proof. These pumps have specially designed systems to ensure parts of the pump remain enclosed so that vapors are not ignited to avoid an explosion of the surrounding atmosphere or the transfer media.
