Title: Bargain metering pump

Maybe one for the ASM boys?  It's an absolute steal, but I can't think of a way to use it (though it would look good in the pump collection!)

Might have a punt on that. Like the idea of metering ASM.  Need to check the spec and suitability at a time when I haven't just got back from the pub.

If anyone is interested in that pump I could pick it up from Sunday onwards as it's not too far from me.

Prodominantly PVC and it's electromagnetic.  Gives a capacity per stroke and I assume you vary the stroke rate.

Metering pumps I've played with in the past have been plunger pumps with a constant speed and variable stroke.

Think I'll pass if anyone else want a crack at it.

12 ltrs an hour. bit slow for asm i would have thought.

Yes, it's not ideal in several respects.
