Pump performance
Ability of pump ability to deliver material is
based on pressure (psi/bar) and quantity
(cfm/lpm) of air supplied to motor and
amount of material discharge backpressure
to be overcome within system.
Pump performance, Fig. 2 contains
curves based on three different air
pressures. Curves relate delivery in ounces
(grams) per minute (X axis) to air
consumption in cubic feet (liters) per minute
(right Y axis) and to material discharge
pressure in psi (bar) (left Y axis).
