Precision low flow pulseless fluid
delivery
Fluid Metering has combined its CeramPump no-valve fluid control principle with phase-cancelling technology to eliminate pulsation for continuous fluid metering down to extremely low flows of 5ul/min.
Previously, pulse-free metering, in the microlitre range, relied solely on syringe pump technology The Smooth-flo fluid delivery system is a fully programmable dispensing system which is controlled by precision stepper motors

Fluid Metering has released its new 2008 catalogue covering precision dispensers and metering pumps for laboratory, industrial, process and OEM applications
FMI's phase-cancelling technology uses three separate valveless pump heads, uniquely timed, to eliminate pulsation.
In addition, a second stepper motor adjusts the piston displacement which allows for fine adjustment to be made to the shot size by changing the stroke length.
The can be programmed for a variety of functions using a user-friendly touch screen interface which can control up to 16 systems on a single bus.
Up to 128 metering devices can be controlled using a PLC or computer.
The will store up to 100 programs letting the user change between setups on the fly.
The system produces a pulse-free fluid delivery with 1% or better accuracy for millions of cycles.
Fluid Metering is certified as compliant with ISO 9001 quality standards.
The Fluid Metering catalogue details operating principles, pump capacities, motor characteristics, materials of construction, prices and ordering information.
