The effect of operating frequency on repeatability


A change in operating frequency affects pumped volume and repeatability. When the operating frequency is higher than the value specified on a drawing, repeatability decreases. An example of measured changes in repeatability resulting from varying operating frequencies is shown in the table below.

Model number used: NRP-500P
Measurement conditions: 
The pumped volume is set at 500mm3 when the operating frequency is 2Hz.
(Other than the conditions specified below, the measurements follows the standard test conditions.)
