How Often Should I Calibrate My Metering Pump?
I’d like to address another important question: How often should I calibrate my metering pump?
The frequency of calibration depends on the specific application and how often the pump is used. While the general recommendation is to calibrate your pump every 6 months, this can vary. Pumps used in critical applications that require high precision might need more frequent adjustments to ensure accuracy. On the other hand, pumps in less demanding processes may only need calibration once a year or even less frequently.
The key is to ensure that your pump maintains dosing accuracy to avoid any fluctuations that could affect process efficiency or product quality. Regular calibration helps prevent issues like over- or under-dosing, which can lead to costly inefficiencies or product waste.
At AcuFlow, we design our USA-made metering pumps with reliability and precision in mind. Our pumps are engineered to hold their calibration longer, meaning less downtime, fewer adjustments, and more consistent performance over time. This allows you to focus on running your operations smoothly, rather than constantly worrying about pump maintenance.
