Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Metering Pump or Cylinder

Definition
A metering pump or cylinder is a critical component within material deposition and feeding mechanisms that precisely measures and delivers specific volumes of liquids, pastes, or viscous materials. It ensures accurate dosing and consistent flow rates in industrial applications where material quantity control is essential for product quality and process efficiency.
Working Principle
Operates through positive displacement mechanisms where a piston, diaphragm, or gear system moves within a chamber to draw in and expel a precise volume of material per cycle. The displacement volume is typically adjustable to control flow rates, with accuracy maintained through mechanical precision and often electronic control systems.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel
Technical Parameters
  • Volume dispensed per operational cycle (ml/cycle) Standard Spec

Application Fit & Sizing Matrix

Operational Limits
pressure: Up to 200 bar
flow rate: 0.1 mL/min to 20 L/min
temperature: -20°C to 150°C
slurry concentration: Up to 60% solids by weight
Media Compatibility
✓ Water-based solutions ✓ Corrosive chemicals (with compatible wetted materials) ✓ High-viscosity fluids (up to 50,000 cP)
Unsuitable: Abrasive slurries with large particle sizes (>500 microns)
Sizing Data Required
  • Required flow rate (volume/time)
  • System pressure requirements
  • Fluid viscosity and specific gravity

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Seal leakage
Cause: Wear from abrasive fluids, chemical degradation, improper installation, or excessive pressure causing seal extrusion
Valve failure (check valves sticking or not seating)
Cause: Contamination buildup, wear from particulate matter, chemical corrosion, or fatigue from high cycling frequency
Maintenance Indicators
  • Irregular or pulsating flow output (visible on flow meters or downstream process indicators)
  • Unusual knocking or clicking sounds from the pump head or drive mechanism
Engineering Tips
  • Implement proactive seal inspection and replacement schedule based on fluid compatibility and operating hours, not just failure events
  • Install proper filtration upstream (typically 10-25 micron) and maintain clean fluid conditions to prevent valve and seal contamination

Compliance & Manufacturing Standards

Reference Standards
ISO 13710:2004 (Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries - Reciprocating positive displacement pumps) ANSI/HI 6.1-6.5 (Hydraulic Institute Standards for Reciprocating Pumps) DIN 24256 (Reciprocating positive displacement pumps - Technical requirements)
Manufacturing Precision
  • Bore diameter: +/-0.01mm
  • Surface finish: Ra 0.4μm maximum
Quality Inspection
  • Hydrostatic pressure test (1.5x working pressure)
  • Dimensional verification with CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine)
