Abstract
A modular symmetrical asphalt pumping system providing a series of field-configurable gear pumps and meters usable to safely and efficiently pump viscous molten fluids, such as, asphalt and similar bituminous materials. The system utilizes highly symmetrical physical geometries and modular components to allow for the development of multiple pump configurations using a reduced quantity of parts. Preferred arrangements of the system reduce pump pulsing and cavitation.
