Was Milton Roy / Chempump — Chemical-Process Metering Pumps and Canned-Motor Pumps with Alleged asbestos documented in litigation?

Milton Roy / Chempump — Chemical-Process Metering Pumps and Canned-Motor Pumps with Alleged is documented in public asbestos litigation records as a manufacturer whose products contained asbestos during the mid-twentieth century. Workers in industrial facilities, power plants, refineries, shipyards, and commercial construction who handled or worked near these products may have experienced occupational exposure.

Which trades had the most exposure?

Pipe coverers and insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, millwrights, and maintenance workers are among the trades most frequently documented in asbestos exposure claims. Workers who cut, fitted, or removed asbestos-containing products — and those working in close proximity during that work — typically had the highest fiber concentrations.

How long do workers have to file an asbestos claim?

Statutes of limitations for asbestos personal injury claims vary by state, typically ranging from one to five years from the date of an asbestos-related diagnosis. The clock generally starts at diagnosis, not exposure — mesothelioma can have a latency period of 20 to 50 years. An asbestos attorney can identify the deadlines that apply to your specific situation.

Can workers file claims related to Milton Roy / Chempump — Chemical-Process Metering Pumps and Canned-Motor Pumps with Alleged asbestos exposure?

Yes. Workers diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, or asbestosis after exposure to Milton Roy / Chempump — Chemical-Process Metering Pumps and Canned-Motor Pumps with Alleged products may pursue claims through civil litigation. An experienced asbestos attorney can assess available defendants, applicable trust funds from co-defendants, and the states where claims can be filed most effectively.

Can family members file secondary exposure claims?

Spouses, children, and household members who developed asbestos-related disease through contact with contaminated work clothing brought home by an exposed worker may be eligible for secondary (household) exposure claims. Wrongful-death claims can also be filed by surviving family members of workers who died from asbestos-related disease.

Milton Roy Reciprocating Metering Pumps and Chempump Sealless Canned-Motor Pumps for Chemical Service

⚖ Litigation Recordc. 1940s-1980sAlleged asbestos-containing check-valve and flange gaskets on metering-pump heads, motor-stator winding insulation on canned-motor pump assemblies, and thermal insulation on hot chemical-service piping and pump casings

Overview Product Facts Trades

Litigation Record: Information below reflects allegations in publicly filed asbestos litigation — plaintiff allegations, not findings of fact.

Product Description

Milton Roy Company (Ivyland, Pennsylvania) and Chempump (a Crane Co. / Chempump Division line, Warminster and Easton, Pennsylvania) supplied two closely related families of chemical-process pumps through the asbestos era:

Milton Roy reciprocating metering pumps — positive-displacement diaphragm and plunger metering pumps used to inject precisely dosed streams of acid, caustic, chlorinator solution, boiler-water treatment chemicals, and process additives at refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, water- and wastewater-treatment plants, and food-processing facilities.
Chempump sealless canned-motor pumps — hermetically sealed centrifugal pumps in which the motor rotor operates directly in the process fluid, used for hot, toxic, radioactive, or corrosive chemical duty where a conventional shaft-seal pump could not be relied upon.

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Milton Roy and Chempump chemical-service pumps were specified with:

Compressed asbestos-sheet gaskets at check-valve seats, liquid-end heads, discharge manifolds, and casing flanges on Milton Roy metering pumps.
Asbestos-containing stator-winding and can-liner insulation inside Chempump canned-motor assemblies, disturbed when the stator can was removed for motor overhaul or rewind.
Asbestos-containing thermal insulation applied by insulators to hot chemical-service pump casings and adjacent piping in continuous-duty installations.
