Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CHEM-TECH from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between CHEM-TECH fixed flow and variable flow peristaltic metering pumps?
CHEM-TECH fixed flow peristaltic metering pumps deliver a set output determined by the motor speed and tubing size, with no operator adjustment of flow rate during operation. Variable flow models allow the dosing rate to be adjusted within the pump's range. In the 3G Electric catalog, fixed flow units include the 7 gpd, 9 gpd, 15 gpd, and 30 gpd models with 4/25 hp motors. Variable flow units use 1/4 hp motors and cover 8 gpd, 33 gpd, 55 gpd, and 100 gpd. Both types operate on 115V AC and use Neoprene tubing with ±2.0% reproducibility.
What flow rates are available in the CHEM-TECH peristaltic pump range?
The CHEM-TECH peristaltic metering pumps listed by 3G Electric cover maximum flow rates from 7 gpd to 100 gpd. Fixed flow models are available at 7 gpd (XP007LFHXG19), 9 gpd (XP009LFHXG19), 15 gpd (XP015LFHXG19), and 30 gpd (XP030LFHXG19). Variable flow models are available at 8 gpd (XP008LVHXG19), 33 gpd (XP033LVHXG19), 55 gpd (XP055LVHXG19), and 100 gpd (XP100LVLXG19). All units operate on 115V AC and use Neoprene tubing.
What tubing material do CHEM-TECH peristaltic metering pumps use?
The CHEM-TECH peristaltic metering pumps in the 3G Electric catalog use Neoprene tubing as the standard wetted material. Neoprene is used across both fixed flow and variable flow models. Because the tubing is the component that contacts the chemical and is compressed by the pump rollers, it is a wear item and should be selected and replaced according to the chemical being dosed, its concentration, and the operating temperature. Buyers should confirm chemical compatibility for their specific application before specifying a pump.
What does ±2.0% reproducibility mean on a CHEM-TECH metering pump?
Reproducibility of ±2.0% indicates the variation in delivered volume between repeated dosing cycles under the same operating conditions. For CHEM-TECH peristaltic metering pumps, this specification applies across the listed models. A tighter reproducibility figure supports consistent chemical feed in water treatment and process dosing, where the injected volume needs to remain stable over time. It is distinct from accuracy, which relates to the difference between the set flow rate and the actual delivered flow. Both should be considered when selecting a pump for a dosing application.
Can 3G Electric supply CHEM-TECH metering pumps by manufacturer part number?
Yes. 3G Electric lists CHEM-TECH peristaltic chemical metering pumps by manufacturer part number, including XP007LFHXG19, XP009LFHXG19, XP015LFHXG19, XP030LFHXG19, XP008LVHXG19, XP033LVHXG19, XP055LVHXG19, and XP100LVLXG19. Buyers can request a quote against a specific MPN or by application parameters such as required flow rate, voltage, and fixed or variable flow control. Each listing includes motor horsepower, maximum flow rate, tubing material, reproducibility, and voltage to support technical review before purchase.
What motor sizes are used in CHEM-TECH peristaltic chemical metering pumps?
CHEM-TECH peristaltic metering pumps in the 3G Electric catalog use two motor ratings. Fixed flow models are equipped with a 4/25 hp motor and cover maximum flow rates of 7 gpd, 9 gpd, 15 gpd, and 30 gpd. Variable flow models use a 1/4 hp motor and cover maximum flow rates of 8 gpd, 33 gpd, 55 gpd, and 100 gpd. All listed models operate on 115V AC. Motor size and flow rate should be matched to the required daily chemical volume and the desired adjustment range.
