The Metering Pump
T
he metering pump is a positive displacement chemical dosing device with the ability to vary capacity manually or
automatically as process conditions require. It features a high level of repetitive accuracy and is capable of pump-
ing a wide range of chemicals including acids, bases, corrosives or viscous liquids and slurries.
The pumping action is developed by a reciprocating piston which is either in direct contact with the process
fluid, or is shielded from the fluid by a diaphragm. Diaphragms are actuated by hydraulic fluid between the piston
and the diaphragm.
Metering pumps are generally used in applications where one or more of the following conditions exist.
• Low flow rates in ml/hr or GPH • High accuracy feed rate is • Corrosive, hazardous, or high
are required demanded temperature fluids are handled
• High system pressure exists • Dosing is controlled by computer, • Viscous fluids or slurries need to

High Performance Diaphragm...
T
he High Performance Diaphragm liquid end, HPD, combines all of the best characteristics of traditional
liquid ends into one technologically advanced design. Its operating characteristics and simplicity of opera-
tion make it the best pump to consider first for most metering pump applications.
HPD operation is similar to the disc diaphragm in that it is hydraulically actuated and utilizes the same
shape and diaphragm. It is similar to a tubular diaphragm in the respect that the process fluid has a “straight
through” path through the liquid end. Its low NPSH requirements are similar to that of a packed plunger
liquid end. But the primary advantages of the HPD are the unique design features that separate it from tra-
ditional designs.

Metering Pump Drive Mechanisms
All Milton Roy drive mechanisms feature gears that are submerged in an oil bath to assure long life. Capacity
can be adjusted while the pump is running or stopped, + 1.0% accuracy over a 10:1 turn-down ratio.
Hydraulic By-Pass
The hydraulic by-pass mechanism features a piston with a constant stroke length that pumps hydraulic fluid,
thus transferring the pumping motion to a diaphragm. Therefore, this type of drive can only mate with a hydrauli-
cally actuated diaphragm liquid end.
Capacity is varied by changing the location of a hydraulic by-pass port over the piston's path of travel. If the
port is positioned at 50% of the piston's stroke length, hydraulic fluid will be relieved through the port during the
first half of the piston's stroke, and pumped against the diaphragm during the remaining half. This type of drive is
often called "hydraulic lost motion," because a portion of the piston's travel does not transmit pumping energy
when the capacity adjustment is less than 100%. Both the mRoy and the Maxroy are hydraulic by-pass style
pumps. Both develop reciprocating piston motion by way of a worm gear set and eccentric.
maxRoy B
In the maxRoy, capacity is varied by positioning a stroke adjust sleeve over by-pass ports bored through the hollow
piston. When operating at 100%, the ports are covered, which traps hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic pumping chamber.
Once trapped, the piston's pumping action forces the hydraulic fluid to flex the diaphragm.
A cup valve, which is attached to the diaphragm, closes all hydraulic paths to the diaphragm when it has reached
the full forward position. This eliminates a process contour plate, as well as excessive hydraulic pressure on the
diaphragm, since any excess hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic pumping chamber cannot reach the diaphragm, and is
forced through the internal relief valve to the
fluid reservoir.
