Prochem ‘CALIPOTS’ are used to confirm correct dosing rates from system dosing pumps. The calipot is normally filled to a set level and the dosing pumps then fed from it for a pre-set period - usually 1 minute or more. The pumping rate is then checked against the time-calculated flow rate. They are normally a permanent part of the installation and can be supplied with three way valves so that they can be valved in and out of circuit to suit operational needs. Prochem CALIPOTS are manufactured in PVC, GLASS, POLYPROP, PVDF, PTFE, 316, Titanium, and other exotic metals to suit most liquids.

All standard CALIPOTS are designed for atmospheric pressure operation but pressurised units can be supplied to order. PVC UNITS utilize a transparent PVC tube and solid PVC base and top. METAL UNITS use a rugged precision borosilicate glass measuring cylinder clamped between the base and top. In all cases the scale is mounted directly on the measuring cylinder. Two types are available – base mounted and backboard mounted. For glass tubed units protective PVC or metal shrouds are available as an option for rough or toxic duty applications.
