FTI Air FT30P: 300 gpm from a 140 lb polypropylene air diaphragm pump

The FT30P is FTI Air's 3-inch non-metallic air-operated double diaphragm pump, launched March 2026: polypropylene wetted parts, 300 gpm at 120 psi inlet air, 0.5-inch solids, 28 ft wet suction lift, and a stainless-steel air valve with no separate pilot valve. At about 140 lb it is a high-flow chemical diaphragm pump that two people can still set on a skid.

Sizing an air operated diaphragm pump starts with the curve, not the max-flow number. Our free diaphragm pump sizing calculator places your flow and head on the FT30P curve. If a pump you already have stalls or won't prime, see diaphragm pump troubleshooting.

Moderate: Graco frames Husky generically as corrosion-resistant fluid paths for corrosive/abrasive chemicals and solvents rather than naming fuels/oils, so the family fit is by material rather than vendor claim. Two details worth publishing: conductive polypropylene on the Husky 1050 is the static-dissipating option that matters for flammable hydrocarbon transfer, and the Hastelloy Husky 1050 option is a genuinely new find from the Allied line card. QUANTM's EODD design stalls under pressure and cuts energy cost up to 80% vs pneumatic — relevant where a transfer duty runs continuously.
