What is the importance of peristaltic pump tubing?

Peristaltic pump tubing is equivalent to the pump chamber in a general pump. The flexibility of the tubing determines the suction height, while the strength of the tubing material determines its pressure resistance. The softness of the tubing material determines the service life of the pump, the inner diameter of the tubing determines the flow rate, and the thickness of the tubing wall determines the pumping efficiency. Therefore, the tubing of a peristaltic pump is very important, specifically in the following aspects:

• Chemical resistance:The chemical resistance of peristaltic pump tubing depends on the choice of tubing material. Different materials can withstand different liquids, such as strong acids and bases.
• Service life:The service life of peristaltic pump tubing depends on the pumping speed, pump pressure, material compatibility, abrasion resistance, and other factors of the fluid being transported. The slower the pumping speed, the longer the life of the tubing, which also depends on the material used. Therefore, the service life varies from a few hundred hours to tens of thousands of hours.
• Application environment:Peristaltic pump tubing is suitable for aseptic applications, food applications, high viscosity applications, and corrosive chemical applications. The tubing is a special tubing for peristaltic pumps and can be provided according to different standards according to specific needs.
• Requirements for peristaltic pump tubing:The tubing used for peristaltic pumps is special and has specific requirements for wall thickness, flexibility, pressure resistance, and abrasion resistance. It is not recommended to purchase tubing from the market at will, and it is necessary to order it from a professional manufacturer.
