5700 BULK
TANK GAUGE
APPLICATION:
The 5700 Series Gauge provides a visual
means for checking the contents of a bulk tank and a means for checking the
injection rate of a chemical metering pump. The gauge is designed to operate in
low to medium pressure applications up to 500 psig.
GAUGE FEATURES:
The sight tube of the 5700 Series Level Gauge is totally protected. Three sides
of the gauge are protected with a metal frame, while the face of the gauge is
protected with a polycarbonate shield. This shield can be custom calibrated to
read tank volume or any other calibration. Refer to the Product Specifications
tab to see the assortment of standard shield options. For mounting purposes, a
mounting lug is welded to the back of the gauge. The standard sight tube is
glass; other sight tube materials are available, along with a wide option of
o-ring seals. The gauge is fitted with 1/2" MNPT x 3/8" FNPT
connections.
THE
The injection rate is checked by closing a valve between the gauge and chemical
storage tank and observing the change in fluid height in one minute. Using the
rate scale on the front of the polycarbonate shield, count the number of marks
the fluid level passed in the one minute test period. This will give you the
actual chemical pump 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 is necessary to set the chemical pump rate to the rate desired. If a higher
pump rate is required, the test period can be shortened to 30 seconds or 15
seconds.
