Metering pumps are the most reliable and efficient way to deliver a precise amount of fluid from one place to another. They are used extensively in industrial, commercial and residential applications, to accurately transfer a given volume of liquid or gas. Metering pumps are designed to accurately measure and dispense a given amount of fluid in a controlled and consistent manner.
Metering pumps work through pressurization, forcing fluids through a nozzle or orifice. The pressure created by the mechanism inside the pump will displace the liquid, creating a pulse at the nozzle or orifice, and gradually reducing the pressure until no more flow is present. The amount of liquid or gas passing through the nozzle or orifice is determined by the displacement rate, which is dictated by the size of the nozzle and its opening pressure.
Metering pumps are great for ensuring precise amounts of fluids are being moved from one place to another. The amount of fluid passing through the nozzle or orifice can be controlled, eliminating the risk of leaks or oversupply. This also makes metering pumps a great choice for reducing or eliminating waste.
The mechanism of a metering pump is simple. The pump body contains a cylinder-shaped chamber, and contains a plunger valve that moves up and down, forcing fluid out of the pump each time the valve opens. Depending on the type of fluid being transferred, the plunger valve can be operated manually by hand, or can be driven by a motor. The movement of the plunger valve creates a pressure differential in the pump body, forcing the fluids out.
Metering pumps are cost-effective, durable, and reliable. They are commonly used in a wide range of industries, such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and energy. Additionally, metering pumps are also used for home and garden purposes, such as for aerating ponds and water gardens.
Metering pumps are also available in a variety of designs, from basic plunger pumps to sophisticated variable-speed drives. They can be used in an array of environments, such as on oil rigs and in tough industrial settings.
Metering pumps are an excellent choice for any application that requires accurate and predictable fluid transfer. They are easy to install and maintain, and require a minimal amount of upkeep. Metering pumps are designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures, making them ideal for a variety of applications.
