Do not touch. Sign warning of possible injury by touching the product surface with hazardous fluid on it, or when the product is hot. Fluid leakage Warning of external leakage of circulating fluid. Warning related to corrosion Warning indicating risk of chemical corrosion Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) carefully before using the product, and use appropriate protective equipment.
1. Precautions for system design Warning (1)Confirm the specifications. Fully understand the applications, fluids, environment and other operating conditions to use this product within the specified range shown in this operation manual. (2)Applicable fluids ●If the fluid contains foreign matter, the inside of the pump will become worn out , causing problems.
(9)Countermeasures against static electricity Since static electricity may be generated depending on the fluid being used, implement suitable countermeasures. (10)The pump cannot transfer gas. Do not allow it to idle for a long time. If the pump is operated for a long time without any fluid inside, the diaphragm may be damaged or the life may be shortened.

(5)Observe the tightening torque for screws. When screwing fittings into the product, tighten them with proper tightening torque as shown below. Over-tightening can damage the thread. PB1313A series Thread size Proper tightening torque Rc,NPT,G 1/8 1.5 to 2.0 N・m...
60 (min.) x 60 (sec.) Model How to operate Reference life (time) A The discharge for one cycle. PB1313A Note1) Air operated type 50 million times Approx. 3ml Note1) This is not a metering pump. The amount of discharge depends on the operating condition.
4. Handling Precautions Warning (1)Perform testing before the actual operation. Verify with the actual equipment used with this product. Even if the test over a short period shows no problem, it may cause a malfunction depending on the components of the fluid. (2)Storage When the product is stored for a long period of time after usage, remove the fluid completely from the pump before storage to prevent sticking and deterioration of the pump material.
(2) Use the ball valve connected to the discharge side to adjust the flow at the fluid side. (3) When exhausting air, using a meter-out will reduce the suction speed of the fluid and so reduce the generation of bubbles.

8. Discharge capability 1) Flow-rate characteristics PB1313A流量特性(5Hz作動時) PB1313A Flow-rate characteristics (5Hz) SUP=0.5MPa SUP=0.4MPa SUP=0.3MPa SUP=0.2MPa 1000 吐出量 (mL/min) Discharge rate (mL/min) Caution -The above flow characteristic graph is for clean water (viscosity 1mPa・s, specific gravity 1.0). If a fluid with higher viscosity such as oil is used, convert the fluid to clean water with reference to the viscosity characteristic graph.
Page 16
3) Viscosity characteristics With reference to the viscosity characteristic graph (shown below), discharge amount of transported fluid with higher viscosity can be calculated. 粘度(mPa・s) Viscosity (mPa・s) ●How to calculate the pilot air pressure and consumed air flow < Example of required specifications > -Discharge : 200mL/min -Discharge pressure : 0.2MPa -Viscosity : 15mPa・s...
Caution -The graph of flow-rate characteristics is in the condition of no piping for suction and discharge. It may not be possible to obtain the discharge in the graph depending on the piping conditions. In air operated type, the discharge is greatly affected by the piping conditions of pilot air. -The viscosity of the operating fluid depends on the operating conditions (temperature, transportation distance).
Page 18
3)The discharge amount is -Check valve at suction side (IN port) or -Cleaning insufficient. discharge side (OUT port) is clogged. -Excessive viscosity of transported fluid. -Non-conformance -Large suction or discharge pump head. -Reduce the pump head. -The filter of suction side (IN port) is -Clean or replace the filter.
