What type of tubing is used in a peristaltic pump?
Silicone
Silicone is the most commonly used peristaltic pump tubing. It has the longest service life and good chemical compatibility for aqueous and many organic solvents and is often used on the Sulfate chemistry which contains alcohol.
How do I choose a peristaltic pump tubing?
Viscosity: The maximum viscosity a peristaltic pump can handle is about 2000 cps. The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow rate. It is recommended to use a tubing with a wall thickness of 2.4 mm or larger and a larger inner diameter than if you were pumping water.
What type of peristaltic pump is?
Positive Displacement Pump
A Peristaltic Pump is a type of Positive Displacement Pump. A rotor is used to squeeze a leak-proof tube or hose, thereby forcing the pumped fluid through the hose. The fluid being transported does not come into direct contact with any parts of the pumping mechanism.
What is tubing pump?
Peristaltic Pumps (Tubing) Peristaltic pumps provide precise metering of chemical reagents into process fluid streams. Common applications include acid and chlorine addition to commercial pools, biocide addition to cooling towers and disinfection of potable water systems.
Is tygon tubing oil resistant?
Tygon® F-4040-A: translucent, yellow tubing for petroleum products with bio-ethanol content max. 10%. Resistant to ageing, ozone and UV radiation.
How do you calculate the flow rate of a peristaltic pump?
The first,The flow rate Q is proportional to the speed n. The higher the speed, the greater the flow rate. For example, when the peristaltic pump is 1rpm, the flow rate Q= 1ml/min, and it can be deduced that when the peristaltic pump is 10rpm, the flow rate Q= 10ml/min.
What is peristaltic pump PDF?
Peristaltic pumps are mechanical displacement pumps. that induce flow in a fluid-filled, flexible-walled conduit. through.
What is a peristaltic metering pump?
A peristaltic metering pump is a type of positive displacement pump. Fluid is pumped through a flexible tube in a peristaltic motion. Rollers are attached to a rotor which is controlled by a motor. As the rotor turns, the rollers pinch the tubing to force the fluid through.
Do peristaltic pumps need to be primed?
Dry running and self-priming Peristaltic pumps do not require pumped fluid to be continually present, and pumps can run dry without costly downtime or repairs. The recovery of the hose or tube creates a powerful self-priming action and allows the pumps to move liquids containing entrapped air or that can offgas.
What kind of tubing is Tygon?
thermoplastic
Tygon® tubing is a registered trademark of thermoplastic (plastic material) tubing manufactured by Saint-Gobain Performance Plastic’s. The tubing may be made of different plastic compounds composed of the following materials: silicone, PCV, polyurethane, fluoropolymers, thermoplastic elastomers and other materials.
