Filling time in s
: maximum filling rate in mL/min
: current filling rate in mL/min
: Filling time for one cylinder volume:
■ 20 s (exchange unit)
■ 18 s (dosing unit)
The maximum filling rate depends on the cylinder volume of the exchange
unit / dosing unit attached (see chapter 32, page 492). The approximate
filling times (including valve switching) are given in the table below for var-
ious cylinder volumes (exchange unit and dosing unit) at different filling
rates:

Application example
1 L reagent is to be dosed within 1 hour with a 50 mL exchange unit.
How large is the dosing rate?
Conditions:
: Total duration = 60 min
:
Dosing volume = 1,000 mL
:
Filling time = 24 s (assumption: max. filling rate)
:
Cylinder volume = 50 mL
