MP2500 Updated January 2017 METERING PUMPS 2500 SERIES SAFETY General Please read and familiarise yourself with all sections of this and other equipment manuals before proceeding with installation. Observe all standard precautions which apply to moving machinery. Observe all standard precautions which apply to electrical equipment, drives and controls.
MP2500 Updated January 2017 INTRODUCTION Acromet metering pumps are designed and manufactured for long, low maintenance service life and when properly applied, will give many years of consistent accurate metering and trouble free operation. The following instructions should be read and followed to correctly install and operate the pump and ensure optimum pump life and performance.
MP2500 Updated January 2017 4.1.4 Piping should be as short and straight as possible and arranged to avoid loops or pockets where gas may accumulate. 4.1.5 All piping should be separately supported close to the pump to avoid imposing pipe loads on the pump. When handling high or low temperature liquids, measures should be taken to prevent distortion of piping imposing loads on the pump.
MP2500 Updated January 2017 Discharge 4.3.1 Should it be necessary to install an isolating valve in the discharge line, a relief valve must be installed between the pump and isolating valve. 4.3.2 The 2500 Metering Pump, being a positive displacement pump, will be damaged if operated against a closed valve.
MP2500 Updated January 2017 Piping Arrangement WRONG CORRECT Should it be necessary to install an isolating valve in the discharge line, a relief valve must be installed in the line between the pump and isolating valve. Metering pumps are positive displacement pumps and produce pulsating flow. Consequently there is considerable line pressure loss and suction piping should be sized to ensure adequate NPSHA.
MP2500 Updated January 2017 OPERATION Before Starting 5.1.1 Ensure the pump will be operated within its specification. 5.1.2 Check gearbox oil level. Prior to leaving factory, each pump is filled to the correct level with the recommended grade of oil (see maintenance section).
MP2500 Updated January 2017 CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT Standard manual capacity adjustment is by means of a micrometer. multiplex pumps, each pump head is individually controlled by a micrometer located behind the respective pump head. Adjustment should be made whilst the pump is running. To adjust whilst stopped will cause damage to the pump mechanism.
ETERING RETURNED FOR MAINTENANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN SUITABLY CLEANED It is an Acromet Quality Assurance policy that all equipment returned for repair or service be supplied with a completed copy of the 'Equipment Decontamination Advice' form, as shown on page 37 of this manual.
After the new diaphragm has been fitted, calibration should be checked and monitored until diaphragm has stabilised. All major mechanical repairs should be undertaken by Acromet's specialist servicing workshop in Melbourne. In most cases a pump can be repaired and despatched in one day.

MP2500 Updated January 2017 CALIBRATION OF A METERING PUMP To perform a calibration test on the delivery rate you will require a stop watch and materials necessary to perform a series of simple calculations. To utilise this system efficiently, the following procedure should be followed whilst the pump is operating.
MP2500 Updated January 2017 CALIBRATION CYLINDER – INSTALLATION GUIDE LOCATION: Install the calibration cylinder as shown in Figure 1. The cylinders must be installed in the suction piping in a vertical position and as close as possible to the suction tank. Remember the location should make allowance for sufficient free space around the calibration cylinder for easy reading of graduations.
Valve operating pressure is controlled by the spring (8) and can be increased or decreased by varying the spring preload. At date of purchase, Acromet will adjust the valve to meet customer's requirements. To alter or set operating pressure at site, it is necessary for a pressure gauge with...
