Metering Pumps MILTON ROY
The metering pump is a positive displacement chemical dosing device with the ability to vary capacity manually or automatically as process conditions require. It features a high level of repetitive accuracy and is capable of pumping a wide range of chemicals including acids, bases, corrosive or viscous liquids and slurries.
The pumping action is developed by a reciprocating piston which is either in direct contact with the process fluid, or is shielded from the fluid by a diaphragm. Diaphragms are actuated by hydraulic fluid between the piston and the diaphragm.
Metering pumps are generally used in applications where one or more of the following conditions exit:
- Low flow rates in mL/hr or GPH are required
- High system pressure exists
- High accuracy feed rate is demanded
- Dosing is controlled by computer, microprocessor, DCS, PLC, or flow proportioning
- Corrosive, hazardous, or high temperature fluids are handled
- Viscous fluids or slurries need to be pumped
