March BC-3CP-MD 230 VAC Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pump 0130-0018-0600

The March 0130-0018-0600 BC-3CP-MD is a 230V, single-phase, blast-cooled sealless centrifugal magnetic drive pump designed for chemical recirculation, chemical transfer and compatible industrial fluid-handling applications.

Burt Process identifies this exact SKU as the BC-3CP-MD 230 VAC configuration with a 1/15 HP motor, maximum flow up to 10 GPM and maximum head of 20.5 feet. The pump belongs to March's Series 3 chemical-pump family and offers greater hydraulic capacity than the smaller Series 2 platform.

Sealless Magnetic Drive Design

The BC-3CP-MD transfers motor torque magnetically through the containment area to the internal impeller. Because there is no conventional rotating shaft seal through the pump housing, the design helps reduce seal-related leakage and routine mechanical-seal maintenance.

Polypropylene, Viton and Ceramic Wet End

The standard wet-end construction combines polypropylene front and rear housings and impeller, a Viton O-ring, ceramic shaft and ceramic thrust washer. This material combination is intended for a range of compatible chemical solutions, acids and process liquids.

Flow, Head and Connections

At 60 Hz, the BC-3CP-MD can generate up to approximately 10 GPM and 20.5 feet of maximum head. Standard connections are a 3/4-inch FPT inlet and 1/2-inch MPT outlet. Actual operating flow should be determined from the pump curve at the system's total dynamic head.

Operating Conditions

Burt Process and March data identify a maximum internal pressure of approximately 50 PSI and maximum liquid temperature up to 190°F / 87°C for the standard configuration. Chemical compatibility and performance can also be affected by specific gravity, viscosity and solution concentration.

Common Applications

The BC-3CP-MD is commonly used for chemical recirculation, chemical transfer and scrubber systems. Its combination of sealless operation and chemical-resistant wet-end materials also supports other industrial and OEM circulation duties when operating requirements fall within the manufacturer limits.

230V Variant Identification

Part number 0130-0018-0600 identifies the BC-3CP-MD 230V configuration. Because March produces several Series 3 AC and BC variants with different voltages and motor designs, verify the complete SKU rather than selecting only by the BC-3CP-MD model name.

Selecting the Correct Pump

Before ordering, confirm supply voltage, required flow, total dynamic head, connection sizes, liquid temperature and chemical compatibility. Exact SKU matching is especially important when replacing an existing Series 3 pump because visually similar models can have different motors and electrical requirements.
