Application
The KENCO PSG-30000 Series Pump Setting Gauges utilize individually calibrated scales based on the inside diameter of the sight tube to provide an extremely accurate reading when calibrating the flow of a chemical metering pump. The gauge also be used to periodically monitor pump performance, accuracy of a chemical injection system, or as as the primary containment reservoir for liquid pumped into a chemical injection system.

Operating Principle

To check the pumping rate of a chemical pump, isolate the chemical in the storage tank from the pump setting gauge. Keep the isolation valve closed and observe the number of scale markings the fluid level passes in one minute. This will give you the actual chemical flow rate. If the rate is not the one desired, make an adjustment to the chemical pump feed rate and conduct as many one minute tests as necessary to achieve the chemical feed rate desired. The pump setting gauge sight tube has (2) calibrated scales. The scale on the left side is a volume scale in milliliters. In a one minute test, the scale will read the flow rate in milliliters per minute. The scale on the right will depend on the desired flow rate unit of measure; i.e. Gallons per Day (GPD), Gallons per Hour (GPH), Liters per Day (LPD), Liters per Hour (LPH), U.S. Gallons by Volume (GPV), or Liters by Volume (LBV).
