Notes: On Operating Differential
*
The 100-20KO Series is the reduced inter-
nal port size version of the 100-01KO Series.
1. For atmospheric discharge, the
maximum inlet pressure cannot
exceed 150 psi.
2. For pressure differentials greater
than 300 psi the maximum flow
velocity should not exceed 18 ft/sec.
3. Flow velocities greater than 25 ft/sec
are not recommended.
4. Recommended minimum flow velocity
is 1 ft/sec.
5. Consult factory for conditions
exceeding these recommendations.
