Progard can supply a wide range of types and sizes of gear pumps with many drive and mountingoptions to suit fire trucks and fixed installations for pressure up to 21 bars. These gear pumps complywith NFPA 20 latest edition (1999). Our engineering expertise includes a high level of customisation,ensuring that the pumps can be supplied to meet exacting needs. The gear pumps may be run atnormal speeds when handling thixotropic foam concentrates, as the shear rate within the pump issufficient to reduce viscosities. Suction lines should be as short as possible and of generous diametersince these liquids have a high resistance to flow.

ConstructionPump Casing : Standard Gunmetal. Optional Stainless Steel #316.

Flanges to BSPT. Optional ASA standard or NPT screwed branchesavailable on request.

Rotors : Standard Phosphor Bronze. Optional A304 stainless steel on certain models

Shaft : Stainless steel #316 with options of hard coatings and pressure balanceRelief Valve : Usually mounted in the pump body for internal circulation. Valve with

external relief can be suppliedGland & Seals : Standard PTFE Lip Seal. Optional John Crane mechanical seals or

Packed Glands. An internal pressure relief system reduces pressure in the gland and seal area

Reversible : Gear pumps can run in either direction (water pelton wheel pump sets are built for one direction of rotation only)

Applications

Offshore, Jetties, oil & gas industry, fixed installation in tank farms and refineries and shipboard fireprotection.

RATIO FLOW CONTROLLERS (PROPORTIONERS)

FeaturesProportioner Body and Inlet Nozzle are Castbrass ASTM 85-5-5-5 material. Machine facedto ANSI B16.1 Class 12.52 to 2 threaded style 3" to 8" wafer style to fit between two 150# FFpipe flangesThe Controller Body is clearly marked with aFlow Direction Arrow and Identification Labelon Foam Concentrate Type and PercentageRatioSuitable for use with all types of Protein, AFFFand AR-AFFF Foam ConcentratesU.L. Listed

Product Specification:The Progard Ratio Flow Controller is a proportioning device designed to meter the correct quantity offoam concentrate into the water stream over a wide range of flows and pressures. These units areused in conjunction with either a bladder tank or a foam pump proportioning system.The operating principle of the controller is based upon the use of a modified venturi. As the waterpasses through the inlet jet, a reduction in pressure in the annular area is created. This reductionallows the metering of the foam concentrate into the water stream through the foam concentratemetering orifice.

To ensure correct operation of the ratio flow controller when used with a bladder tank, the pressure ofthe foam concentrate at the controller must be within 2 psi (0.14 bar) of the incoming water pressure. To ensure accurate proportioning over the flow range of the controller, it is recommended that aminimum water inlet pressure of 30 psi (2.07 bar) must always be available during operation of thesystem.
