GLASSCALIBRATION CYLINDERS
Operating Instructions:
Install the calibrationcylinder in thesuctionline tothe chemical meteringpump. Ensure thatthe cylinder is
vertical. Two (2)isolating ball valvesmust be install in thesuctionlineasperthe drawing below.The topofthecylinder
shouldbevented back to thetopofthe chemicalcontainer or to drain. A 12” length offlexablehoseshouldbeinstallon
thetop ofthecylinder if it is to be hardpiped intothesystem.
There aretwo(2)methodsof using the calibrationcylinder, measuringvolume orrateofflow.Beforestarting the
calibrationmakesure the pumpisprimed.
Method 1 - Rate of Flow:(Using theUSGPHscale)
Open isolatingvalves1 and2 to fillthecylinder
tothetop mark on thescale. (0 USGPH)
Close isolatingvalve(1) inthe suctionline.
Leaveisolating valve (2) open.
Switch on thechemical feedpump for 30
seconds. Switch off thepump.
Thereadingintheright sideofthe cylinderisa
directreadout in USGPH.
If thereading is not thedesired rateofflow
adjustthe pumpvolumeandrepeat the
processuntil thecorrect rateofflowis
achieved.
Method 2 – Volumetric:(Using the mL Scale)
Open isolatingvalves1 and2 to fillthecylinder
tothetop mark on thescale. (0 mL )
Close isolatingvalve(1) inthe suctionline.
Leaveisolating valve (2) open.
Switch on thechemical feedpump for a
measured drawdowntime.Shut off thepump.
Thevolumedisplacedfromthe cylindercanbe
read on theleftside thecylinder scaleinmL.
If thereading is not thedesired rateofflow
adjustthe pumpvolumeandrepeat the
processuntil thecorrect rateofflowis
achieved.
To convert toLPHorGPH useoneofthe
followtwoformulas
LPH=(volume÷drawdowntime) x3.6
GPH=(volume÷drawdowntime) x 0.952
Oncethedesired pump dosing volumehasbeen setclose isolating valve (2) and openisolation valve(1) toresume
normalpumping operation.
Note: Maximum sealed cylinder pressure is 15 feet of water column.
