PA060 Performance
How to Read Charts
Draw a horizontal line at your discharge pressure and a vertical line at the
desired flow rate. At line intersect, estimate required air pressure,
resultant cycle rate, and air consumption.
Example
At 2 Bar (30 psi) discharge pressure and 82 psi air pressure, PA060 pumps
provide a 40 lpm (10.6 gpm) flow rate, cycle at ~240 CPM, and exhaust 20 SCFM
of air.
The graph is for reference only. Performance was measured utilizing 1/2 in (3/8 in ID) air line and 1-1/4 in (1-1/8 in ID) liquid lines with 1 ft flooded suction. Performance may vary in your system.

Installation
Precautions
-
Handling
Do NOT lift the pump by shuttle valve assembly or air tubing. -
Installation Orientation
PA060 pumps must be installed in an upright position. The check valves are actuated by gravity and/or flow, and they will not seat if the pump is not upright. -
Timer Mode
PA060 pumps require an end-of-stroke detection mechanism (pressure switch) to prevent over-stroking in timer mode. Operating a PA060 in timer mode without stroke detection will void the pump warranty. -
Required Air Flow (Shuttle Valve)
PA060 pumps require 1/4 in minimum orifice with unrestricted airflow. -
Required Air Flow (Solenoid Valve)
PA060 pumps require a 1.5 Cv solenoid. Using a reduced Cv will reduce flow rates. Using a valve with more than 20% greater Cv will change operating parameters, reduce pump life and void the warranty. -
Under Supply of Air
PA060 pumps operate erratically or stall when the air supply is insufficient. Ensure the use of air supply pressures higher than averaged air consumption lines in performance charts. Air supply lines and fittings must meet minimal inner diameter requirements shown in the installation instructions. -
Air Supply Pressure
Operating PA060 pumps ~35% below max air pressure may significantly extend pump life. PA060 pumps require 20 psi minimum air pressure. Operation above 7 Bar (100 psi) may damage the pump and void the warranty. -
Suction Lift
PA060 pumps have an initial suction lift capacity of 3 ft. For best results minimize suction lift. -
Liquid Inlet/Outlet Connections
PA060 liquid ports are not NPT or any other standard. The use of connectors other than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump and void the warranty. -
Liquid Line Restriction
PA060 pumps may be controlled by closing liquid outlet lines. However, restricting liquid supply lines increases wear and should be avoided. Do NOT pump against a closed liquid inlet. It will damage the pump and void the warranty. -
Running Dry
PA060 pumps use the pumped liquid to lubricate their shafts. The pumps will cycle faster and wear more than normal when run dry, which may cause damage and loss of self-prime abilities. Standard models should not be run dry after start-up and are not warranted under dry run conditions. Dry-run capable PASD060 models may run dry for short periods. The warranty of dry-run models is one year. Extended warranties are available. -
Pulse Dampener with Shuttle Valve
Air supply pressure to PA060 pumps should be at least ten psi higher than the liquid line pressure when using a pulsation dampener. Failure to do so may cause erratic operation. -
Cross Contamination
PA060 pumps use porous material that may retain chemicals. Take precautions to avoid cross-contamination.
Warnings
-
Pressurized Material
Pumps in use contain pressurized materials. Eliminate liquid and air pressure via shut-off valves before the pump is serviced or removed from the system. -
High Temperature
Heat may transfer to exterior surfaces when pumps operate with high- temperature fluids. Avoid direct contact with the pump when high-temperature fluids are present. -
Hazardous Chemical
Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling the pump. Reference Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for information specific to your chemicals. -
Loud Noise
Pump exhaust air contributes to work area noise levels. Only operate pumps with approved muffler media, and use ear protection in noisy conditions.
Advantages
-
Head Pressure/Dead-Head
PA060 pumps can be controlled by adjusting their liquid outlet pressures and can be installed with head pressures up to dead-head (e.g. equal liquid and air pressures) with no damage to the pump. -
Thermal Cycling
PA060 pumps require no maintenance when operated within their performance range, even in thermal cycling applications.
Environment & System
-
Oversized Inlet Line
Pumps operate optimally with liquid inlet lines larger than the liquid outlet lines. This reduces strain on the bellows and may reduce pulsation in the pump outlet. -
Clean Supply Air (CDA)
PA060 pumps require the use of Class 2 air for particles and moisture per ISO 8573-1. Use a 10-micron filter; maintain -40°C dew point. A point-of-use filter is recommended during the first six months of operation in new fabs/systems due to the high risks of debris that can damage pumps and void the warranty. -
Flammable Solvents
PA060 pumps are not constructed from conductive materials. A system that pumps flammable solvents should be properly grounded to avoid ignition by static charge. A River’s Edge test of isolative pumps with flammable liquids indicated that liquids must be grounded and other procedures should be followed. Copy of test available. -
Pumping Liquids Near Boiling Point
Minimizing suction lift reduces pulsation and the potential for boiling or outgassing of liquid in the inlet of the pump. Although reciprocating pumps can pull a suction lift, pump performance, and life increase when the suction lift is minimized or eliminated. -
Abrasive Slurry
Pumping abrasive slurry may accelerate the wear of components. PA060 pumps are warranted when used with slurry. However, normal wear is not covered by warranty. -
Environmental Temperature
PA060 pumps are rated for 0°C (32°F) – 50°C (122°F) environmental temperatures. Do not freeze fluid in the pump. Operation below 0°C may accelerate wear. Normal wear is not covered by warranty.
Installation Instructions
- Loosen baseplate screws.
- Tilt the front of the pump upwards to remove it from the baseplate.
- Use 3/8 or 10 mm socket head screws to mount the baseplate.
- Tilt the front of the pump upwards to install a pump on the baseplate.
- Tighten baseplate screws to make the pump rigid.
- Attach liquid fittings to the pump. Tighten to 55 inch-lbs.
- Attach tubes to fittings using a backer wrench to keep fittings in place.
- Affix supply air via 1/4 in the input port on the shuttle valve. The airline must be 1/4 in the minimum orifice.
Liquid Inlet/Outlet
Liquid ports are not NPT or any other standard. The use of connectors other
than those supplied by White Knight will damage the pump.
Shuttle Service Instructions
Follow the instructions below to inspect or service White Knight shuttle
valves. If a pump has stopped, ensure all recommendations in this manual are
followed and that there are no air supply issues (i.e. closed air valve,
damaged regulator, oil in the airline, etc.).
Do not lubricate or oil any of the shuttle components. White Knight shuttle valves do not require any lubrication.
-
Remove nuts on each air fitting on each pump head.
-
Unscrew both shuttle mounting bolts, and pull the shuttle from the pump.
-
Remove the airlines from both sides of the shuttle valve by unscrewing the air fittings.
-
Unscrew the top shuttle end cap using the shuttle end cap tool.
- Part: 12100-PV-0083
-
Carefully remove the ceramic spool from the shuttle valve; it may break if dropped.
-
Unscrew the bottom end cap using the shuttle end cap tool.
-
Unscrew both 1/8 in NPT plugs that have an orifice in the center.
If the ceramic spool in your pump has a flat feature, it must be oriented towards the bottom of the pump when the shuttle valve is reassembled. -
Remove the muffler cap from left side using the muffler cap tool. Remove muffler media and note the order of the pieces. Repeat this step for the muffler cap and muffler media on the right side.
-
Blow out the shuttle valve with CDA or N2. Ensure no residue or debris is in any areas indicated above. Debris or residue in these areas may hinder pump performance.
-
Clean the ceramic spool with IPA, and dry it using CDA or N2.
-
Reassemble the shuttle and reattach it to the pump by following the above steps in reverse.
If the spool in your pump has the flat feature, ensure it is oriented towards the bottom of the pump when the shuttle valve is reassembled.
Control & Monitoring
Programmable Control
White Knight CPT-1 controllers monitor and adjust run mode, flow rate, leak
detection, and other pump operations.
D10 Amplifier Electrical Hookups & Dimensions
White Knight recommends Expert™ D10 amplifier for use with fiber optic stroke
and leak detection assemblies.
Single Sensor Design
PA060 pumps can use only a single fiber optic sensor at a time. The probe may
be installed in the “F” port on either side of the pump. White Knight offers
PFA, PFH, and PFU pumps for dual fiber optic use.
Fiber Optic Stroke Detection Installation
- Remove stroke detect probe from fiber optic assembly.
- Replace the NPT plug in the “F” port with a stroke stroke-detect probe. Hand-tighten.
- Insert the fiber optic cable until it sits at the bottom of the probe.
- Lower ferrule and gripper until snug against probe and hand tighten female gripper nut.
- Open the top and slide the front face of the D10 up. Press the fiber optic ends into the holes on its front. Slide the face down to lock cables in place.
Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber optic sensors melt if used at >130°C (266°F), resulting in a leak or
end-of-stroke detection failure.
Calibrating D10 Amplifier for Stroke Detection
When calibrating the D10 Amplifier for stroke detection, the pump should be in
the same operating conditions it will be in during normal operation (i.e.
supply air pressure, back pressure, etc.). The Fiber Optic must be installed
as per the instructions in section 3.1.
Upon completion of a successful learning cycle, the D10 Amplifier will continuously learn and self-teach to maintain the same cycle rate count readings.
Single Pressure Switch Stroke Detection Installation
- Remove the plug from the “F” port.
- Attach NPT gripper to “F” port.
- Attach the elbow assembly to the pressure switch. Loosen female gripper nuts, and insert an air tube between them. Hand-tighten gripper nuts.
Dual Pressure Switch Stroke Detection Installation
Perform all instructions to both sides of the pump.
- Attach T fittings to the “S” ports.
- Attach mufflers to the T fittings.
- Attach elbow assemblies to pressure switches.
- Loosen female gripper nuts on elbow assemblies and T fittings. Insert tubing and hand-tighten gripper nuts.
- Affix supply air via 1/4 in FNPT QEV ports on both sides. Air supply must be 1/4 in minimum orifice to source.
After your device is connected, you must set the switch point. If operating above 60 psi air supply, the set point is 43 psi (0.296 MPa), otherwise it is 18 psi (0.124 MPa). Each system is unique so values may need to be adjusted to your specific application. As the exhaust system loads, it may be necessary to adjust the set point.

Conductivity Leak Detection Installation
Leaks are identified if conductive fluid contacts a sensor. The sensor
provides a Sink (NPN) or Source (PNP) signal, depending on the wire setup. See
the wiring diagrams below.
Conductive leak detection does not qualify for use in explosion-proof environments. Conductive fluid is required. See below for the elbow-out configuration.
- Remove the leak adapter from the assembly.
- Replace NPT plug in “L” port with probe. Hand Tighten. Attach the cable to the signal translator (e.g. PLC).
Wiring Diagrams
Fiber Optic Leak Detection Installation
D10 amplifier must be calibrated before attaching fiber optic probes to the
pump. Fiber optic sensors can melt if used at >130°C (266°F), causing leak
detection failure.
See below for the elbow-out configuration.
- Remove the leak adapter and leak detect probe from the fiber optic assembly.
- For straight-out configuration replace the NPT plug-in “L” port with the probe. Hand-tighten.
- Insert the fiber optic cable until it contacts the bottom of the probe.
- Lower the ferrule and gripper until snug against the probe. Hand tightens female gripper nut.
- Open the top and slide the front face of the D10 up. Press the fiber optic ends into the holes on its front. Slide the face down to lock cables in place.
For elbow out configuration:
- Replace the NPT plug-in “L” port with the elbow adapter.
- Attach fiber optic or conductivity leak detect probe per instructions above.
Calibrating D10 Amplifier for Leak Detection
Step 1:
Power On D10 Amplifier & Set “Dark Operate” Mode:
Step 2:
Access “Single-Point Dark Set” Mode
Step 3: Set Sensing Condition
Set the condition to “leak detection” sensing while the probe tip is submerged
in liquid. Then, remove the leak probe from the liquid and reinsert it into
the “L” port. The amplifier will now signal when moisture is detected on the
probe tip.

White Knight is not liable for any damage or expense resulting from the use or misuse of its products in any application. Responsibility is limited solely to the repair or replacement of defective products or components. Prior written, faxed or emailed approval must be obtained from White Knight before returning any product or component for warranty consideration. All determinations regarding the cause of failure are made by White Knight, and all decisions regarding warranty fulfillment or nullification are made by White Knight.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY GUARANTEE OF SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE. NO VARIATIONS OF THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE HONORED NOR CONSIDERED LEGALLY BINDING, EXCEPT WRITTEN AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY THE CEO OF WHITE KNIGHT FLUID HANDLING.

Pulse Dampeners
In-line and pump-mounted pulse dampeners reduce pulsation in fluid systems
to improve flow control, increase batch yields, protect components, and
minimize maintenance and downtime for repairs. DBA030 dampeners fit 30 and 60
lpm pumps. DBA060 dampeners fit 30, 60 and 140 lpm pumps. DBA140 dampeners fit
60 and 140 lpm pumps. https://wkfluidhandling.com/dampeners/.
Pressure Regulators
White Knight pressure regulators offer remote piloting capability to maintain
system pressure for high-purity chemical circulation loops and systems with
multiple tool drops or dispense points. They feature fully swept PTFE/PFA flow
paths. A single back-pressure regulator equalizes upstream fluid pressure
across multiple discharge outlets. Forward-pressure regulators control
downstream pressure.

Back-pressure regulator
Forward-pressure regulator
A single back-pressure regulator equalizes upstream 10 PSI fluid pressure for discharge outlets. Each forward-pressure regulator controls fluid pressure for a single discharge outlet.
Filter Housings
Two-chamber and four-chamber filter housings provide parallel or series
(in-line) operation. Their compact, non-metallic PTFE/PFA designs offer
superior containment and high-flow performance within a smaller footprint than
traditional housings. They fit many filter types and enable filters to be
changed without disconnecting liquid lines. https://wkfluidhandling.com

Cycle-Rate Translator
The CPT enables pump replacements in existing tools. It operates a White
Knight pump at its optimal cycle rate and scales the operational cycle rate to
that expected by the tool. https://wkfluidhandling.com/cpt/.
Catcher™ Pre-Filters
White Knight Catcher™ pre-filters protect pumps from wafer shards and other
harmful solids. They can be cleaned without disconnecting liquid lines.
