REQ-2041Cardinal Processing Group
Line 4 pump replacement — need a quote · owner Dana Whitfield · quote QT-2026-1040 at $102,808.88
Substituting PX-440 for the requested AX-220
The customer asked for AX-220. Every hard compatibility requirement is satisfied by PX-440, but the quoted part differs from the request.
Business impact
- Proposed
- Quote PX-440 in place of AX-220.
- Commercial
- Quote value $102,808.88 at 30.4% margin.
- Technical
- All hard compatibility checks pass against the extracted requirements. Note that 5 of those requirements were derived from the AX-220 rather than stated by the customer (pipe connection, wetted material, supply voltage, installed footprint, flow rate). If anything about the installation has changed, the selection changes with it.
- Risk
- Customer may have a qualification or spare-parts reason for the original part number.

REQ-2036Tidewater Processing
DG-50 diaphragm pumps — 8 off · owner Dana Whitfield · quote QT-2026-1046 at $28,066.12
Substitution DG-50 → DG-52 carries 1 open technical point(s)
DG-52 passes all hard requirements, but the following need an engineer's judgement: Seal / elastomer (warning).
Business impact
- Proposed
- Quote DG-52 in place of DG-50.
- Commercial
- Quote value $28,066.12 at 34.5% margin.
- Technical
- Seal / elastomer: DG-52 seal / elastomer is "EPDM diaphragm" but the request needs "PTFE". Elastomer compatibility depends on the actual media. A different elastomer may be perfectly serviceable, but an engineer should confirm it against the fluid. Note that 4 of those requirements were derived from the DG-50 rather than stated by the customer (pipe connection, installed footprint, flow rate, viscosity). If anything about the installation has changed, the selection changes with it.
- Risk
- An unverified dimension on a process pump can mean a failed installation and a warranty claim. Confirm against the site's actual duty conditions.

RG-100 replacements — blend house · owner Marcus Oyelaran · quote QT-2026-1045 at $40,116.12
Substitution RG-100 → RG-120 carries 1 open technical point(s)
RG-120 passes all hard requirements, but the following need an engineer's judgement: Adapter required (warning).
Business impact
- Proposed
- Quote RG-120 in place of RG-100.
- Commercial
- Quote value $40,116.12 at 35.1% margin.
- Technical
- Adapter required: This selection only lands on the existing pipework with FA-4050 adapter kits fitted at suction and discharge. That adds installed length and raises suction velocity — confirm against the site before committing. Note that 5 of those requirements were derived from the RG-100 rather than stated by the customer (pipe connection, wetted material, supply voltage, installed footprint, flow rate). If anything about the installation has changed, the selection changes with it.
- Risk
- An unverified dimension on a process pump can mean a failed installation and a warranty claim. Confirm against the site's actual duty conditions.
Changes Requested by Tomas Lindqvist · Sep 22, 7:00 AM
“Adapter route is sound but I need the suction line length from site before I sign this off — the FA-4050 pair adds roughly 180 mm and I am not convinced it fits between the existing flanges. Please get a measurement.”
