KNOW YOUR FLOW
A SIMPLE METHOD
THE DOSATRON IS COMPOSED OF:
As it moves back and forth, the motor
piston clicks:
A volumetric piston
hydraulic motor
driving:
a dosing piston
2 clicks = 1 motor
cycle = 1 displacement
Once in the up
position
Once in the
down position
The speed of the motor is proportional to the flow of water passing through the
device.
Calculating the water flow rate in litres/hour =
Calculation for 1 minute
Motor displacement in litres
Number of clicks in 15 seconds
x 4 x 60 x 1.7

2 clicks = 1 cycle
Calculation for 1 hour
Calculating the water flow rate in gallons/minute =
Calculation for 1 minute
Conversion litres to gallons
Number of clicks in 15 seconds
x 4 x 1.7 x 3.8

2 clicks = 1 cycle Motor displacement in litres
