Tube Chemical Characteristics
!
Tubing Chemical compatibility list mentioned is only a guide. The user is responsible to determine
the tubing compatibility to the chemical being used.
This Peristaltic pump will only work with tubing with 1/16 [1.6mm] wall, peristaltic tubing that is
relatively flexible, and that can be easily compressed.
Thus we have a couple of recommendations:
