Section 1.0
Introduction
The Parker Autoclave Engineers pump discussed in this manual
is operated using compressed air up to 150 psi (10 bar). Au-
toclave Engineers AFL Series pumps are used for pumping oil,
water and oil/water mixtures. Special seals are also available for
chemical service. Please contact Parker Autoclave Engineers to
discuss availability of special seals. The pump operates using
a pressure ratio of the air piston diameter to the liquid plunger
diameter. Pumps are available in pressure ranges up to 15,500
PSI (1069 bar).
The pump model number coincides with the approximate nomi-
nal ratio of the pump; ex. AFL100-01 is a 113:1 ratio, with an
input air of 100 psi the output pressure would amount to 11,300
PSI (779 bar). (Output pressure = actual ratio x input air pres-
sure). Refer to the product literature for the actual air pressure
ratio.

Meaning of Safety Words
A safety related message is identied by a safety alert symbol
and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a
particular hazard. The denitions of the three signal words
are as follows:
indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
Special notes intended to bring attention to procedures
that must be followed to ensure proper installation and
performance will be placed in a box labeled NOTICE.
