CHECK-MATE PUMPS
Use the following pump/ram module chart to select the desired pump package for your specific needs. You must decide: 1) Pressure and flow requirements. 2) Will you be using 5 or 55 gallon (2 or 20 liter) drums of material? 3) What is the material viscosity in cps at the application temperature? This determines the ram type. 4) Do you require carbon steel (CS) or stainless steel (SST) wetted parts? To assist with this critical decision, refer to the following guide: Which Pump to Select Carbon steel Stainless steel

All Check-Mate pumps have Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and Teflon (TFE) packings. For urethanes and some silicones, an optional all-Teflon packing kit is available. Contact your local Graco distributor for assistance, if required. Available wiper materials include: nitrile, EPDM rubber and PVC. Nitrile wipers are the most common for sealant and adhesive materials; however, some end-users prefer PVC for silicone materials.

PTotal = PNozzle + PGun + PSwivel + PHose = (300 + 400 + 400 + 689) = 1789 psi (123.4 bar, 12.34 MPa) From the chart, we selected a 46:1 President with a 3 in. single post ram. Since the material is an acrylic, use SST wetted parts or part no. 231-169. A 46:1 pump at 90 psi of air will produce 4140 psi (46 x 90 psi) of pressure. Calculated pressure loss is only 1789 psi, so this selection will be fine for the application.
