Reciprocating pumps deliver a controlled and accurate flow to predetermined points independent of pressure, with the volumetric flow calculated based on plunger area, stroke length, and stroking speed, and providing precise volume control by varying stroke length, though friction and mass acceleration losses can adversely affect operation.

Reciprocating metering/dosing pumps deliver a controlled & accurate flow to predetermined points of a process independent of pressure.

Metering Pump Equation V=A.h.n V = theoretical Volumetric flow of the metering pump A = plunger square area h = stroke length n = stroking speed (stroke frequency) reciprocating pump is the one which precise volume control is provided by varying effective stroke length Reciprocating Pumps Generate a Pulsating Flow Two Major Factors That Can Adversely Affect The Operation of Reciprocating Pumps: y Friction Losses y Mass Acceleration Losses Factors Affecting Mass Acceleration Pressure Plunger or Piston Diameter. Stroke Length Internal Pipe Diameter & Overall Length. Pump Speed. Pump Configuration (Single or Multi Head)

Mathematical Relations: 1.Pump suction pressure

Head (in feet) = Pressure (psi) X 2.31/Specific gravity
