3 tall different sized Calibration Column cylinders.

SENTINEL™ Calibration Columns

Accurately Calibrate Metering Pump Flowrates.

SENTINEL Calibration Columns, also referred to as calibration cylinders, provide a simple and accurate method for measuring and calibrating pump flowrates in chemical dosing applications. Choose from PVC columns with PVC end caps or, borosilicate glass columns with a variety of end cap options for more corrosive applications. Each column features a laminated calibration scale in mL/min and US GPH for accurate measurement in a one minute test.

How It Works.

Calibration columns are installed on the suction line of the pump with the top of the column vented back to the supply tank or drain. Using isolation valves, the column is filled with process fluid from the supply tank and drawn down in a timed, one minute test. The fluid remaining in the column at the end of the test is measured on the column’s graduated scale in both milliliters/minutes (mL/min) and US gallons/hour (US GPH).

Features

PVC or borosilicate glass columns with CNC precision machined end caps.

Sizes ranging from 100mL up to 20,000mL.

Sealed, removable and loose PVC end cap options.

Glass column end caps available in PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, PVDF and 316L Stainless Steel.

NPT, BSP, union and flange connection options.

PVC Column End Caps

SEALED cap glued to the cylinder for a permanent vent connection. Used in applications with posiitve suction head.

REMOVABLE cap sealed with an O-ring so the cap can be easily removed for cleaning. Used in applications with positive suction head.

LOOSE cap dust cover used in applications with no positive suction head. The cylinder is filled from the top.

PVC Calibration Columns

PVC calibration columns feature three top end cap options. Sealed and removable cap models have a permanent vent connection and are used in applications where there is positive suction head. The sealed cap is glued to the cylinder. The removable cap is sealed with an O-ring so that the cap can be easily removed for cleaning. Loose cap models are used in applications where there is no positive suction head. The loose cap is a dust cover only and the cylinder is manually filled from the top.

Glass Calibration Columns

Glass calibration columns have threaded end caps offered in a variety of materials, two sealing O-rings, and a shield to protect the inner glass tube and calibration scale label.

Diameter and height based on NPT end cap models; flange end caps will vary. Appropriate size depends on maximum system
flowrate in gallons per hour or equivalent millimeters per minute.
