Dispensing specs are based on tests with 1.0 mL of RO water at room temperature and 1 atm of pressure.
* Please consult Car-May for information specific to your application.
* * Specifications are dependent on control system used.
* * * For flow rates of less than 1 mL/min the calculated instantaneous pulsation levels increase.
Observed pulsation levels depend greatly on fluidic setup and measurement technique.
Cv: The coefficient of variation, expressed in percent, is used to describe the standard deviation
(s) relative to the mean (X). Cv = [ (100) (s)/ X ]

Wetted Materials

The wetted parts of "Standard configuration" Car-May System Modules are made from chemically-resistant materials, creating a versatile, durable fluid control system. For applications that involve more aggressive fluids, an even more robust "Inert" wetted parts option is available. Other options may be available—please contact us about your "problem liquid."
