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.
The armored design of the gauge offers maximum protection for the sight tube from mechanical impact. Three sides of the gauge are protected with a metal frame, while the face of the gauge is protected with an expanded metal or impact resistant polycarbonate shield. The polycarbonate shield can be custom calibrated to read tank volume or any other desired calibration. A wide variety of wetted materials and seals are available to ensure compatibility with whatever fluid is being used. For mounting purposes, a mounting lug is welded to the back of the gauge.
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.
