Hello, I am looking to buy a pressure tank, and I would like to know the cutoff pressure of my pump. It is a Mitsubishi EP-305Q5, photo attached. The nameplate is in Thai, and I think the On Pressure is 2.2 kg / cm2, which I believe is around 30 psig. I don't see anything that looks like it might be the cutoff pressure. I am thinking it should be something like 50 psig, or around 1.65X2.2 kg / cm2 or around 3.5 kg / cm2. I don't see anything on the name plate that is close to that number.

I am trying to learn how to size a tank, and I am thinking I need both cut-in and cut-out pressure, especially for any safety pop-off. Thanks for any help.

Thanks very much for all the replies. Sorry about the late response. I was waiting for email notification that there were replies, but I had an obsolete email address in my profile.

 

Yes, this is what I was looking for, from the chart from Chickenslegs and from Metropolitan. 2.1 and 2.8. My nameplate says 2.2 for cut-in and no info for cutout. That is close enough to buy a tank.

 

The info was probably in the other two posts as well. So, thanks to all.
