Metering Pump Dosage & Pressure Derating Calculator

Real Graco G-Chem baseline dosage and pressure-derating data, digitized directly from the vendor's own manual — not an estimated formula.

Direct answer: For a fixed-displacement plunger metering pump, dosage scales linearly with strokes per minute (CPM), and this calculator uses Graco's own published baseline dosage table for the G-Chem series rather than an estimated formula. A pump's maximum deliverable dosage also derates as discharge pressure rises, because the pump has to work harder against higher back-pressure, which reduces the volume it can push per stroke — this tool reflects Graco's own published performance-derating curves. It applies to Graco G-Chem pumps specifically; dosage and derating behavior varies by manufacturer, series, and drive type, so other brands need a confirmed recommendation for the target dosage and pressure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is chemical metering pump dosage calculated?

For a fixed-displacement plunger pump, dosage scales linearly with strokes per minute (CPM) — this calculator uses Graco's own published baseline dosage table for the G-Chem series, not an estimated formula.

Why does dosage drop as discharge pressure rises?

A metering pump's maximum deliverable dosage derates as back-pressure increases — the pump has to work harder against higher discharge pressure, reducing the maximum volume it can push per stroke. This calculator shows Graco's own published performance-derating curves.

Does this calculator apply to other pump brands?

This specific tool uses Graco G-Chem published data only. Dosage and derating behavior varies by manufacturer, series, and drive type — send LibertyCES your target dosage and pressure for a confirmed recommendation across brands.
