Calibration pots (Calipot)
Prochem Calipots confirm correct dosing rates from system dosing pumps.
The Calipot is filled to a set level, usually maximum capacity. The dosing pumps are then fed from the pot for one minute so the pumping rate can be checked against the time-calculated flow rate.
Calibration pots are normally a permanent part of the installation but should have isolating valves so that they can be used in and out of the circuit to suit operational needs.
All standard Calipots are designed for atmospheric pressure operation. PVC units utilize a transparent PVC tube and solid PVC base and top. Metal units use a rugged precision borosilicate glass measuring cylinder clamped between the base and top. Acrylic tube is also available in some sizes.
In all cases the scale is mounted directly on the measuring cylinder. Custom scales are available.
Two types are available – base mounted (for diameter 250mm clear PVC tube only) and backboard mounted. For glass tubed units protective 316L metal cage shrouds are available as an option for rough duty applications.
