Introduction: The Importance of Accurate Calibration in Chemical Injection
Chemical injection systems play a critical role in a wide range of industrial processes, from water treatment to oil and gas. At the heart of these systems are calibration cylinders that ensure the accuracy and efficiency of injection processes. Choosing the right method to connect these cylinders to the injection device has a direct impact on the accuracy, safety, and reliability of the system.
Connection types for calibration cylinders
1. Direct contact (lip contact)

-
Use standard edges (ANSI, DIN, ISO)
-
Suitable seals for sealing (PTFE, graphite)
-
Precise alignment of cylinder and pump is required.

-
High mechanical strength
-
Suitable for high working pressures (up to 100 bar)
-
Einfach zu zerlegen und zu reparieren.
Mangel:
-
Für die Installation wird mehr Platz benötigt.
-
Teurer als andere Methoden
2. Schraubverbindung
Stream-Typ:
-
Zylindrisches Gewinde (NPT, BSPP)
-
Conical thread (BSPT, NPTF)
