Peristaltic pump tubing
Peristaltic pump tubing is a type of tubing used in peristaltic pumps to transport liquids or gases. A peristaltic pump is a pump whose working principle is similar to peristaltic motion. It promotes the transportation of media by cyclically compressing or twisting pipes.
Peristaltic pump tubes are generally made of flexible elastic materials, such as silicone, alkyl rubber or PVC. It is soft, stretchable and corrosion-resistant to accommodate the working principle of a peristaltic pump. Peristaltic pump tubing is usually circular in cross-section and has a smooth inner wall to ensure resistance-free delivery of fluid.
When using a peristaltic pump, the peristaltic pump tubing is installed on the compression roller or drum of the pump. When the roller presses the pipe, the pump pipe is compressed to create a closed peristaltic area, pushing the medium to flow forward in the peristaltic area. As the roller rolls, the peristaltic area is pushed forward, allowing liquid or gas delivery.
Peristaltic pump tubes are widely used in laboratories, medical, chemical, pharmaceutical and other fields to transport various liquids and gases, such as suspensions, corrosive liquids, high-viscosity liquids, etc.
