10.4.2
Calibration / Pump
The specified metering capacities in metering pumps are always determined under ideal
conditions (metering of water at 20 °C, short suction and metering pipes, rated back-
pressure, no pressure-boosting valves in the metering line).
As these conditions never occur in practice, you are advised to calibrate the actual
metering rate of the metering pump under prevailing local conditions.
10.4.2.1 Preparation
Fig. 78: Calibration / Preparation
1.
Connect the pump ready for operation on the pressure side
Ä Chapter 7 'Device installation' on page 32).
(
2.
Fill a suitable measuring cylinder and insert the suction line or suction and return
line.
NOTICE!
The volume of the measuring cylinder should be 1/50 of the metering pump
rate in litres/h. During this process, the suction line must not change its
position.
The calibration of the metering pump is only valid for the currently set stroke
length setting.
After changing the stroke length, the calibration must be performed again.
