Page 5 - Principles Of Operation
1 1. Introduction The OMNI ® metering pump is positive displacement, mechanically operated reciprocating diaphragm pump. Each pump consists of a power end and a process end separated by a PTFE faced diaphragm. Individual pumps will vary in appearance due to various liquid ends and accessories; howev...

Page 8 - Piping System
4 5.2 Piping System 1. All systems should include a pressure relief valve on the discharge side, to protect piping and process equipment, including the pump, from excess process pressures . An external relief valve is required! There should be no devices capable of restricting flow (such as a valve)...
Page 9 - Suction Pressure Requirements; Discharge Pressure Requirements
5 5.3 Suction Pressure Requirements Although OMNI ® metering pumps have some suction lift capability, a flooded suction (i.e., suction pressure higher than atmospheric pressure) is preferable whenever possible. The pump should be located as close as possible to the suction side reservoir or fluid su...
