MODEL 5700 BULK TANK GAUGE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mount the 5700 bulk tank gauge in the outlet between the storage tank and the suction side of a
chemical pump (if applicable). When making up gauge to process lines, tighten connections by
placing the wrench on the hex of the nipple at the end of the gauge. Do not tighten connections by
twisting gauge frame. If the top of the gauge is below the maximum possible liquid level or if there is
a possibility of pressure or vacuum in the storage tank (other than atmospheric pressure), the vent
connection on top of the 5700 should be connected to the upper part of the storage tank. A valve
should be installed between the storage tank and the 5700.
To check the pump feed rate, close the valve between the storage tank and the 5700. Observe the
change in fluid height in the 5700 after 1 minute. Multiply the number of divisions observed by the
rate per division to obtain the pumping rate. Adjust pump and check rate again if necessary.
