Does anyone have a catalog that states the rated capacities in gallons per hour for Ohio lifting injectors? I'm specificallt after the capacity of the #7 size.

About the same as they would deliver in Pennsylvania, Kelly.

Not knowing the style but knowing Ohio cloned other types I do have some literature for, I would venture about 2000 GPH wouldn't be far off at 180 PSI.

Maybe somebody out there has an Ohio Brass spec sheet?

The ALCO standard practice book(page 55)refers to the capacity of a #7 Ohio injector as 1800 gpm at 200 psi. For each reduction of 10 psi in boiler pressure, reduce the capacity by 2%. This is real close to what Dave said.

Correction - 1800 gph not gpm!
