Precautions
1. Caution on Design
Warning
1. Confirm the specifications.
- Give careful consideration to operating conditions such as the application, fluid and environment,
and use the product within the operating ranges specified in this catalog.
- The product is provided for physical, chemical and industrial equipment.
2. Fluids
- For the compatibility between the materials composing the product and the fluids, check the
compatibility check list.
Since the compatibility of the fluid used may vary depending on its type, additives, concentration,
temperature, etc., give sufficient consideration when selecting the material.
- For fluids other than those listed on the check list, please consult us. Also, use them within the
range of the operating fluid temperatures.
- If foreign matters are mixed in the fluid, these may cause abrasion of the inside of the pump
resulting in a problem.
Use an appropriate filter (strainer) to remove them. In general, 80 to 100 mesh (150 to 180 μm)
filters are recommended.
- When transferring a coagulable liquid, take measures to prevent it from coagulating in the pump.
- Precautions to observe when transferring slurry
Basically, it is not recommended to transfer slurry because this will result in seating failure and
wearing of the check valve and accumulation of particles. However, if you intend to increase the
number of maintenance cycles even though this promotes wear and accumulation of particles,
use a suction lift of no more than 1 m and also a slurry containing solid particles of the following
diameter.
If the specific gravity of the slurry is less than 3, use particles that have a diameter of no more
than ø0.25 mm and have been passed through a #60 or finer mesh (e.g. aluminum powder).
If the specific gravity of the slurry is 3 or more, use particles that have a diameter of no more
than ø0.15 mm and have been passed through a #100 or finer mesh (e.g. iron powder).
- Take countermeasures to prevent the operating fluid from getting onto the body of the process
pump.
3. Water hammer
If a valve is operated abruptly etc., a high pressure may be applied due to water hammer. Take
measures to prevent pressures higher than specified from being applied.
<Examples of measures>
- Use a water hammer resistant valve to reduce the valve closing speed.
- Use an elastic piping material such as rubber hose or an accumulator to absorb the impact
pressure.
4. Liquid seals
To ensure that fluid does not become sealed inside the process pump, when
stopping the pump, relieve the discharge pressure inside it. As shown in the
figure at right,make a circuit which has a relief valve installed on the system.
5. Fluid pressure supplied to the process pump
Feeding the fluid from the suction side into the pump under pressure, or
drawing it using a negative pressure, will reduce the life of the pump.
6. Ensure space for maintenance.
Secure the space required for maintenance and inspection. Take into consideration also leakage
from the product. When transferring a flammable liquid or a liquid that may affect the human body
or environment, take measures including fire ban and keeping the area off limits.
7. Use a design which prevents reverse pressure and reverse flow.
If reverse pressure or reverse flow occurs on the discharge side of the process pump, the
equipment is liable to become damaged or malfunction. Take safety measures in designing the
circuit.
8. Measures against static electricity
Take measures against static electricity as static electricity may occur depending on the fluid.
Particularly, when circulating flammable fluid through the pump, be sure to take measures to
prevent the occurrence of static electricity.

6
9. The pump cannot transfer gas. Do not allow it to idle for a long time.
If the pump is operated for a long time without any fluid inside or in a gas-fluid mixed state, the
diaphragm may be damaged or the life may be shortened. Do not continue idling for 3 minutes or
longer.
10. Condensation and freezing of the pilot port
The location around the air supply port can cool down quickly due to expansion of the supply air,
and this may cause condensation on the piping and the condensation may freeze during
operation in winter. Take measures to ensure that water droplets from condensation are not
splashed onto any electric parts or equipment.
Caution
1. Suspension of the pump operation
When operation is stopped exhaust the residual pressure of the air supply port using the 5-port
solenoid valve. If the pump is pressurized during suspension, its life will become shorter.
2. Reverse flow
The check valve inside the process pump does not completely stop reverse flow (the flow from
the discharge side to the suction side). For this reason, fluid may sometimes flow from the
discharge side to the suction side when the pump is stationary, etc). As a countermeasure, install
a 2-way valve or a check valve. However, please note that when a check valve is installed, if the
cracking pressure is high, defective suction may occur. (As a guide, the cracking pressure should
be 0.02 MPa or less.)
2. Mounting
Caution
1. Read the operation manual before mounting the product.
Read the operation manual carefully and understand the contents before mounting the product.
The manual should also be kept where it can be referred to whenever necessary.
2. Open the sealed package inside a clean room.
Products specified for clean room (PAP3313) are sealed and double packaged inside a clean
room. We recommend that the inner package should be opened inside a clean room or clean
environment.
3. Confirm the mounting orientation of the product.
Face the foot downward. Even when the foot is not used, the foot faces downward.
Also, secure all specified mounting positions when using the product.
If the propagation of the vibration of the pump is not acceptable, insert vibro-isolating rubber
when mounting.
3. Piping
Caution
1. Flush the piping.
Flush and clean the piping before connecting the product. Any dirt or scale and the like left in the
piping may cause malfunction or failure.
2. Use fittings with resin threads when connecting piping to the product with resin threads at
the ports.
Using fittings with metal threads may cause damage to the ports.
3. Tighten screws with proper tightening torque.
When screwing fittings into the product, tighten them with proper tightening torque as shown
below. Looseness can cause problems such as fluid and air leaks, while over tightening can
cause damage to threads and parts, etc.

4. Air Supply
Warning
1. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that includes chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic solvents,
salinities or corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction.
2. Pay attention to avoid freezing when operating the product in low temperatures.
The equipment operates while expanding the compressed air. During this time, the temperature
inside the product decreases due to adiabatic expansion. If the ambient temperature is low, using
compressed air containing a lot of moisture may cause freezing because heat cannot be gained
from the surroundings. In this case, take freeze prevention measures by using a membrane air
dryer (such as series IDG).
Caution
1. Quality of operating air
- Use air filtered by air filter AFF series or mist separatorAM series, etc. Use the water separator
(AMG, etc.) when necessary. Use of a super mist separator (such as series AME) is
recommended to extend maintenance intervals. (Equivalent to No. C to E on the page P2 to 3
of Best Pneumatics 6.
- Use of humid air may cause condensation inside the body. Use air which has been treated by a
refrigerated air dryer (such as IDF series) when condensation occurs.
-When dew forming or freezing occur in the process pump, use the membrane air dryer (IDG)
and decrease the dew point of supply air.
- If a pump is operated by super dry air and N2 gas, etc., the deterioration of the gaskets inside
the switching valve will be accelerated and may result in substantially shortening the life span of
the product.
5. Operating environment
Warning
1. Do not use in the following environments, as this can cause failure.
1) Locations with an atmosphere of corrosive gases, organic solvents or chemical solutions, and
where there may be contact with the same.
2) Locations where there is contact with sea spray, water or steam.
3) Locations where ultraviolet deterioration or overheating of resin may occur due to direct
sunlight.
4) Locations near heat sources with poor ventilation (heat sources should be shielded by heat
insulating material).
5) Locations with impact or vibration.
6) Locations with excessive moisture and dust.
2. The product cannot be used under water.
Do not use the product immersing it in water (liquid). Otherwise, liquid will enter the openings
inside the product, resulting in malfunction.
3. Compressed air with low dew point
Using super dry air as the fluid may affect the reliability (service life) of the equipment, because
the lubrication characteristics inside the equipment will deteriorate. Please consult with SMC
when using it.
6. Maintenance
Warning
1. Perform maintenance after consulting the operation manual.
Obtain the operation manual for the equipment from SMC or our distributor and have sufficient
knowledge of the equipment before performing maintenance. Incorrect handling may cause
damage or malfunction of the equipment or system.
2. Perform maintenance work after confirming the safety of the system.
Turn off the compressed air and power supply and exhaust any remaining compressed air in the
system before removing the equipment and the compressed air supply/exhaust unit. Discharge
the residual liquid or sufficiently displace it as necessary. Also, when reinstalling the equipment or
restarting it after replacement, confirm the safety of the product before checking that it operates
normally.

8
3. Use appropriate protective equipment.
When touching the process pump for maintenance, wear protective equipment such as gloves
which are compatible with the fluid used. There is a risk of chemical burns.
4. Do not disassemble the product, as disassembly will invalidate the product's
warranty.
When disassembly is necessary, please consult with SMC or our distributor.
5. Drain discharge
Operating the system with drain accumulated in the equipment or piping may cause malfunction
of the equipment, splash over into the downstream side, or unexpected accident. Periodically
discharge drain from components including the air filter.
6. Caution when transferring a high-temperature fluid
The product itself will become hot due to the high-temperature fluid. Since touching the product
directly may cause burns, allow sufficient time for the product to cool down when transferring a
high-temperature fluid. The measurement of the product temperature is recommended to confirm
the safety of the system before performing work.
Caution
1. Caution when transferring a highly penetrating liquid
When transferring a liquid that is highly penetrating through fluoropolymer, components of the
transfer liquid may enter the openings inside the equipment.Also, they may become attached to
the external surface of the equipment. In this case, take the same measures as handling the
transfer liquid.
2. Service life of diaphragm and maintenance of consumable items
- Disassembly of the process pump is not recommended. Replacement with new process pump
based on the reference life of the diaphragm is recommended.
- If the operating cycle of the process pump exceeds the service life of diaphragm, the diaphragm
may be damaged due to deterioration. If it is damaged, the fluid will leak from the pilot air
exhaust port and the air will blow out into the liquid circuit. Consider the pump operation
(breathing, decline of discharge pressure, etc.) and the reference service life of diaphragm, and
replace with new process pump or conduct necessary maintenance as early as possible.
- Items such as check valves may experience malfunction earlier than the diaphragm depending
on the operating conditions. Please replace with new process pump or conduct periodic
maintenance.
- When conducting maintenance, obtain the necessary parts indicated in the maintenance parts
list (Refer to P.15), and perform work according to the maintenance and operation manuals.
[Calculation of reference service life (days) of diaphragm]
The amount of discharge per cycle for the air operated type varies depending on the piping
resistance. Therefore, calculate the service life (days) using the operating frequency of a
solenoid valve.

7. Caution on Handling
Caution
1. Do not lubricate the air operated type.
Warning
1. Test before using with the actual equipment.
Test the pump before using it with the actual equipment. Even if there is no problem in a
short-term test, the liquid may penetrate through the fluoropolymer diaphragm causing
malfunction in the pump air circuit.
2. Storage
In the case of long-term storage after use, first thoroughly remove the liquid, and clean and dry
the inside to prevent deterioration of the pump materials.
3. After a long period of non-use, perform a trial run prior to operation.

Performance Curve
Selection from Flow Rate Characteristic Graph (PA(P)3313)
Required specification example: Find the pilot air pressure for a discharge rate of 6 L/min, a
discharge pressure of 0.25 MPa, and a cycle of 4 Hz. <The transfer fluid is fresh water (viscosity 1
mPa·s, specific gravity 1.0).>
If the total lifting height is required instead of the discharge pressure, a discharge pressure of 0.1
MPa corresponds to a total lift of 10 m.
Selection procedures:
1. First mark the intersection point for a discharge rate of 6 L/min and a discharge pressure of 0.25
MPa.
2. Find the pilot air pressure for the marked point. In this case, the point is between the discharge
curves (solid lines) for SUP = 0.4 MPa and SUP = 0.5 MPa, and based on the proportional
relationship to these lines, the pilot air pressure for this point is approximately 0.45 MPa.
Caution
1. These flow rate characteristics are for fresh water (viscosity 1 mPa·s, specific gravity 1.0).
2. Flow characteristic is measured based on necessary minimum piping.
3. The discharge rate differs greatly depending on properties (viscosity, specific gravity) of the fluid
being transferred and operating conditions (lifting range, transfer distance), etc.
1) Flow Rate Characteristics

13
Calculating Air Consumption
Required specifications example:
Find the pilot air consumption for a discharge rate of 6 L/min, a cycle of 4 Hz and a pilot air pressure
of 0.25 MPa.
Selection procedures:
1. In the graph for air consumption (4 Hz), start at a discharge rate of 6 L/min.
2. Mark where this point intersects with the air consumption rate. Based on the proportional
relationship between these lines, the intersection point will be between the discharge curves SUP
= 0.2 MPa and SUP = 0.3 MPa.
3. From the point just found, draw a line to the Y-axis to find the air consumption. The result is
approximately 70 L/min (ANR).

Selection from Viscosity Characteristic Graph
Required specification example: Find the pilot air pressure for a discharge rate of 2.7 L/min,
discharge pressure of 0.25 MPa and a viscosity of 100 mPa·s.
Selection procedures:
1. First find the ratio of the discharge rate for fresh water when viscosity is 100 mPa·s from the
graph below. It is determined to be 45%.
2. Next, in the required specification example, the viscosity is 100 mPa·s and the discharge rate is
2.7 L/min. Since this is equivalent to 45% of the discharge rate for fresh water, 2.7 L/min ÷ 0.45 =
6 L/min, indicating that a discharge rate of 6 L/min is required for fresh water.
3. Finally, find the pilot air pressure and pilot air consumption based on selection from the flow
characteristic graphs.
Caution
Viscosities up to 1000 mPa·s can be used.
Viscosity and dynamic viscosity are obtained by the formulas below.
Dynamic viscosity ν[m2/s]＝
Viscosity μ[Pa･s]
Density ρ[kg/m3]
Formulas below can be used for common units
- 1cP = 1mPa･s = 10-3Pa･s
- 1cSt = 1mm2/s = 10-6m2/s
3) Viscosity Characteristics (Flow rate correction for viscous fluids)

Working Principle
1. When air is supplied to P1 port, it enters drive chamberA.
2. Diaphragm A moves to the left, and at the same time diaphragm B also moves to the left.
3. The fluid in pump chamberA is forced out to the discharge port, and the fluid is sucked into pump
chamber B from the suction port.
4. If air is supplied to the P2 port, the opposite will occur. Continuous suction and discharge of fluid
is performed by repeating this process with the control of an external solenoid valve (5 port valve).
Maintenance Parts
- It is not recommended to disassemble the process pump. However, if this is necessary,
be sure to follow the instructions in the maintenance procedure.
- When carrying out this work, wear appropriate protective equipment.

be transfered to the suction port <FLUID IN> and the discharge port <FLUID OUT>.
2. Using a regulator, set the pilot air pressure within the range of 0.2 to 0.5 MPa. Then, the pump
operates when power is applied to the solenoid valve Note 2) of the pilot air supply port and fluid
flows from the suction port <FLUID IN> to the discharge port <FLUID OUT>.At this time, the
throttle on the discharge side is in an open state. The pump performs suction with its own power
even without priming. (Dry state suction lifting range: up to 0.5m Note 3)) To restrict exhaust noise,
attach a silencer to the solenoid valve air exhaust port.
3. To stop the pump, exhaust the air pressure being supplied to the pump with the solenoid valve of
the air supply port.
Note 1) When used for highly permeable fluids, the solenoid valve may malfunction due to the gas
contained in the exhaust. Implement measures to keep the exhaust from going to the
solenoid valve side.
Note 2) For the solenoid valve, use an exhaust center 5 port valve. If air in the drive chamber is not
released when the pump is stopped, the diaphragm will be subjected to pressure and its life
will be shortened.
Note 3) When the pump is dry, operate the solenoid valve at a switching cycle of 2 to 4 Hz. If
operated outside of this range, the suction capacity might reduce.
Discharge Flow Rate Adjustment
1. The flow rate from the discharge port <FLUID OUT> can be adjusted easily by changing the
switching cycle of the solenoid valve on the air supply port.
