MK2R-MK2SR pumps
17.1.1
Operating instructions
The MK2R/MK2SR series pumps have been designed
to operate in environments with atmospheres that
are not potentially explosive and for using water rich
in particulate, therefore they are considered ideal for
systems with fluid recirculation.
The durability of the piston seals is directly in
relation to the percentage of the presence of solids
in the fluid as regards both their size and their
density.
For a long seal life we recommend a particulate
grain size of no more than 200 micron and 20% max.
in volume.
For more information and a general system layout,
see par. 17.2.6.
17.1.2
Maximum pressure and flow rate
The rated specifications stated in our catalog are the
maximum that can be obtained by the pump. Independently
of the power used, the maximum pressure and rpm indicated
on the specification label can never be exceeded unless prior
formal authorization is given by our Technical or Customer
Service Departments.
