The tubing is as important as the pump because: - Its restitution creates suction lift
- Its strength resists pressure
- Its flex resistance determines pumping life
- Its bore decides the flow rate
- Its wall thickness controls pumping efficiency
Ordinary tubing is not designed for peristaltic pumping, and only Watson-Marlow precision pump tubing will give the best results in a Watson-Marlow pump. The results of using any other tubing are unpredictable, and may jeopardise your process. |
