  • Page 22: Usable Reservoir Volume

    4.6 Usable reservoir volume NOTE The usable reservoir volume in the reservoir design without follower plate is strongly dependent on the consistency (NLGI Grade) of the lubricant used and the ambient temperature. With high consistency and a low working temperature, more lubricant typically adheres to the inner surfaces of the reservoir and the pump, leaving less lubricant available for feeding.

    4.7 Lubricant volume when an empty pump is filled for the first time The following volumes of lubricant are required in order to fill a new empty pump up to the -MAX- mark on the reservoir. NOTE The difference between the lubricant volume required for initial filling and the nominal volume of the reservoir is due to the filling of the space in the pump housing up to the -MIN- mark on the reservoir.
