Glossary of Terms
Coriolis Meter - a non-intrusive flow meter often used in
low flow applications or with light viscosity, shear sensi-
tive, or acid catalyzed materials. This meter uses vibra-
tion to measure flow.
Dose Size - the amount of resin (A) and catalyst (B) that
is dispensed into an integrator.
Dose Time Alarm - the amount of time that is allowed
for a dose to occur before an alarm occurs.
Dynamic Dosing - Component A dispenses constantly.
Component B dispenses intermittently in the necessary
volume to attain the mix ratio.
Grand Total - a non-resettable value that shows the
total amount of material dispensed through the system.
Intrinsically Safe (IS) - refers to the ability to locate cer-
tain components in a hazardous location.
Idle - if the gun is not triggered for 2 minutes the system
enters Idle mode. Trigger the gun to resume operation.
Batch Total - a resettable value that shows the amount
of material dispensed through the system for one batch.
A batch is complete when the user resets the batch
counter to zero.
K-factor - an assigned value that refers to the amount
of material per pulse that passes through a meter.
Mix - when cross-linking of the resin (A) and catalyst (B)
occurs.
Overdose Alarm - when either the resin (A) or catalyst
(B) component dispenses too much material and the
system cannot compensate for the additional material.
Potlife Time - the amount of time before a material
becomes unsprayable.
Potlife Volume - the amount of material that is required
to move through the mix manifold, hose and applicator
before the potlife timer is reset.
Purge - when all mixed material is flushed from the sys-
tem.
Purge Time - the amount of time required to flush all
mixed material from the system.
Ratio Tolerance - the settable percent of acceptable
variance that the system will allow before a ratio alarm
occurs.
Sequential Color Change - the process when a color
change is initiated and the system automatically flushes
the old color and loads a new color.
Sequential Dosing - Components A and B dispense
sequentially in the necessary volumes to attain the mix
ratio.
Standby - refers to the status of the system.
