Operation:
Griffco calibration cylinders are installed in the suction
line to the chemical metering pump. Two isolating
valves, (not supplied) must be installed in the suction
line as per the drawing below. The top of the cylinder
should be vented back to the storage tank or to drain.
Fill the cylinder to the top mark then close the valve
from the chemical tank. Switch on the chemical feed
pump and draw down the chemical in the cylinder for
30 seconds. Switch the pump off. The reading on the
right side of the cylinder is a direct readout of USgph.
Alternatively, observe the volume withdrawn on the mL
Griffco Borosilicate Glass Calibration Cylinders are scale. To convert to LPH or GPH use this formula:
designed to enhance the performance of chemical feed
systems by providing a verification of the flow rate of the LPH = 3.6 x [mL] ÷ Time (sec)
chemical feed pump. Constructed of borosilicate glass GPH = 0.951 x [mL] ÷ Time (sec)
and a choice of 8 end cap materials, (PVC, CPVC, PP,
PTFE, PVDF, 316SS, Alloy 20, and Hastelloy C) these Note: Max. cylinder pressure is 15 feet of
cylinders are suitable for use with most chemicals. water column (6.5 psi).
Available in 12 sizes; from 30mL to 20 L.
