Peristaltic Pump Tube Selection Guide & Key Points for Inspection

Peristaltic Pump Tube Selection Guide & Inspection Notes
Peristaltic pump tubes are silicone pump tubes made of different materials according to the conveying medium, power and type of the peristaltic pump. Unlike ordinary silicone tubes, these pump tubes serve special purposes, making their selection and application extremely important. Below is the guide for selecting such pump tubes and key points for inspection provided by Taihua Silicone.
Peristaltic Pump Tube Selection Guide
The selection of such pump tubes should be based on the following aspects.
First, corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility. The fluids or liquids conveyed by these tubes are often highly corrosive. Therefore, consumers must consider the level of corrosion resistance when choosing tubes.
Second, chemical compatibility. When using these silicone tubes to transport chemical products, the tubes can be easily damaged if they come into contact with chemical elements that are harmful to the tubing, which may severely disrupt the entire operation. For this reason, the chemical compatibility chart should be checked to confirm whether the tube material is compatible with the conveyed medium.
Third, pressure performance. Most peristaltic pump tubes feature high pressure resistance, but pressure capacity varies due to factors such as inner wall thickness. Taihua Silicone specializes in manufacturing silicone tubes with various thicknesses and pressure ratings, and consumers can select according to their needs.
Key Points for Inspection
When measuring the dimensions of peristaltic pump tubes, first inspect the tube surface for black spots and visible impurities. Excessive impurities will definitely shorten the service life.
When testing wear resistance and fatigue resistance, pay attention to the testing duration — insufficient testing time cannot reflect real performance.
When testing aging resistance and corrosion resistance, weigh and measure the samples both before and after the test to analyze changes, ensuring effective and accurate test results.
The above is the selection guide and testing precautions for peristaltic pump tubes. By choosing pump tubes produced by Taihua Silicone, consumers will obtain complete pump tube parameters and enjoy smoother application.
