Pulsation Dampener part number that matches Vane Pump

	1. Pulsation dampeners listed below are from 1000s of "off the shelf" inventory pulse dampers for preventing pipe systems from converting vane pump flow fluctuation into pressure pulsation. Call toll free 1-888-DAMPERS (326-7277) for discounts, etc. Choose a pulse damper matching your pump connection size, for standard dampening. Or allow us to calculate for you, from your smoothness required and your system data.
	2. Where no OSHA requirement for in place flush before service, nor process need for 1st in 1st out, constant temperature, change of liquid pumped, interception of pressure pulsation; use second connection to save a "T" for RV. PI, or System Drain. 2 connection dampeners are standard lowest cost. Waveguard and dampeners for 10Hz. & above, IE systems 300 meters (1,000ft.) or less, must use FLOW-THROUGH

Pressure spikes "transient" traveling at 1400 meters per second, are highly directional. Their interception is best achieved by forcing their impingement on the surface of the membrane. The direction change between system connection and pump port ensures attenuation and prevents amplification.

The response characteristics of the elastomer bladder are superior to the "FlexFlon" membranes, and reduction of pressure pulsation to parts of a pound per square inch can be achieved at some frequencies. Noise levels are typically reduced by up to 25 db.

When the response of your pipe work system is to resonate or amplify the minute signal from the vanes, a WaveGuard "dampener" is the NO MOVING PARTS "fit & forget" natural choice. There are also WaveGuard for contaminated systems, though their principle of operation will require some pressure drop.

Dampeners that do, flow goes through but pressure pulsation does not.

PulseGuard pulsation dampeners are designed to address pressure pulsation, which is caused by the resistance of the system to flow. Therefore our dampeners focus on the system related responsibility and are less related to pump liability.
