FAQ about peristaltic pump tubing

1. How important is the pump tube?

The pump pipe is equivalent to the pump chamber of a normal pump. The elasticity of the pump tube determines the suction height; the strength of the pump tube material determines its pressure resistance; the softness of the pump tube material determines the service life of the pump; the inner diameter of the pump tube determines the pumping flow; the wall thickness of the pump tube determines the pumping efficiency.

 

2. What is the suitable temperature range of the peristaltic pump?

0 to 40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature is below 0 degrees. Many tubes have weakened elasticity and cannot work

 

3. How about the chemical resistance of the pump tube?

depends on the type of pump tubing used. Different liquids use pump tubes of different materials, which need to be confirmed by checking the table. If it is not certain, it can be judged by experiment.

 

4. What are the factors that affect the service life of the pump tube? 

The speed and pressure of the pump, the material of the pump tube and the abrasiveness of the pumped fluid (medium).

 

5. What is the relationship between the pump speed and the service life of the pump tube? 

Pump tube life is inversely proportional to pump speed. The lower the speed of the pump, the longer the service life of the pump tube.
