PSG-30,000 Series Pump Setting Gauge

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).

Gauge Features

• Direct-Reading Volume/Rate scales on the sight tube are individually calibrated to the inside diameter of the glass to maintain a high level of accuracy.
• Scales are highly visible and labeled with well-sized characters for easy reading against all liquids.
• Six scale options are available: 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). Each scale option includes a volume scale in milliliters (ML).
• Gauge sizes cover a broad range of flow rates from 16 Gallons per Day (60.57 Liters per Day) to 1440 Gallons per Day (5450.99 Liters per Day).
• Sight tube on all models is made from borosilicate glass.
• Clear thermoplastic sight tube shield for impact resistance is standard on all models.
• Close fit between inside diameter of sight tube shield and end plates enhances the structural stability of the gauge and helps keep out unwanted contaminants between sight tube and shield.
• Lower end plate has drain hole(s) to prevent condensation build up.
• End pates are available in 316 Stainless Steel, PVC, CPVC, Alloy 20 and Hastelloy C-276. Other materials available upon request.
• Engineered PTFE envelope sight tube gasket ensures compatibility with most liquids and has an integral isolation barrier to prevent glass form making contact with the end plates. Fluorocarbon filler provides a constant load on gasket to ensure a proper seal.
