E Appendix. Chemical Compatibility Table Solenoid driven metering pumps are widely used to dose chemical fluids and it is important that the most suitable material in contact with fluid is selected for each application. This compatibility table serves as a useful help in this respect. All the informations in this list are verified periodically and believed to be correct on the date of issuance.
F Appendix. Hoses resistance table Hose features are very important for a reliable dosage. Every pump’s model is made to work in the best way using selected hoses according to pump’s capacity / model. Information reported here are intended for standard use only. For extended information ask to hose’s manufacturer.
