William's V-Series Metering Pumps PUMP FEATURES:

  1. Stroke Adjuster is made more compact and adjustment is simplified with an internally threaded design. The positive locking device to hold stroke length is readily accessible and easy to operate.
  2. The Pneumatic Piston and Fluid Plunger Assembly is guided at both ends on TFE composite bearings ensuring concentric movement of the plunger through the seals.
  3. The clearance between the return spring and plunger has been optimized to eliminate any possible contact.
  4. A true double sealing arrangement is used so that secondary seal containment is provided.
  5. Lubrication has been simplified with the use of synthetic grease. The lubrication chamber is filled once over the life of the seals.
  6. The bleeder is equipped with a barbed fitting for plastic tubing so that the fluid bled from the fluid chamber can be collected.
  7. Both the discharge and suction check valves have tough TFE composite seats for long life and positive sealing.
  8. Threaded port after the secondary seal provides for the indication, collection or containment of any seal leakage.

William's V-Series Metering Pumps OPERATING CYCLE


POWER STROKE: As the CONTROLLER air or gas enters the PNEUMATIC DRIVE CYLINDER, the PISTON-PLUNGER ASSEMBLY is driven down into the FLUID CHAMBER, displacing fluid and compressing the RETURN SPRING. As the plunger displaces the fluid, the rise in pressure closes the SUCTION CHECK VALVE and opens the DISCHARGE CHECK VALVE. A precise amount of fluid, corresponding to the stroke of the plunger, is discharged.
 
SUCTION STROKE: When the air or gas is exhausted from the PNEUMATIC DRIVE CYLINDER the RETURN SPRING forces the PISTON-PLUNGER ASSEMBLY to return to its original position. The drop in pressure in the FLUID CHAMBER caused by the retraction of the piston allows the spring loaded DISCHARGE CHECK VALVE to close and the SUCTION CHECK VALVE to open so that the FLUID CHAMBER is again filled and ready for the power stroke.

Difference between welded and seamless stainless steel tubing?

What is the difference between welded and seamless stainless steel tubing?

Seamless stainless steel tubing is extruded and drawn from a billet.  Welded stainless steel tubing is produced from a strip that is roll formed and welded to produce a tube.

Welded stainless steel tubing is generally less expensive than seamless.  However, seamless stainless steel tubing is preferred for most instrument applications.

There are two main reasons for this:
 
  1. Welded stainless steel tubing is considered to be inhomogeneous in the weld area, thus making it less corrosion resistant and giving it different malleability properties than seamless stainless steel tubing.  Recognized standards for the working of the weld area of stainless steel tubing are very open and allow for a wide range of homogeneity in the finished tube.
  2. By code, the allowable working pressure of welded tubing is 20% less than that of seamless stainless steel tubing.
 
 
Forberg Scientific carries a large varietity of stainless steel tubing in both welded and seamless.  We can also provide different types of hard to find exotic material.  Please contact our customer service to receive pricing and lead times.
