Kilos as pressure unit?
Kilos as pressure unit?
(OP)
At a poultry slaughterhouse, a cage washer has the following pump requirements:
- flow: 40 m3/h
- pressure: 3.5 kilos!!!
- power outlet: 5.5 kW
The manufacturer is a Dutch company.
What does "kilos" mean here? Do they mean kgf/cm2?
- flow: 40 m3/h
- pressure: 3.5 kilos!!!
- power outlet: 5.5 kW
The manufacturer is a Dutch company.
What does "kilos" mean here? Do they mean kgf/cm2?

Actually I wouldn't make such an assumptions based on the presence of "kilo" in kgf/m2. My assumption was based on the characteristic curve of the existing pump (unfortunately not the original) which has gives a head of 35m at optimum efficiency. 35m head is equivalent to 3.5 kgf/m2.
