RS PRO Flexible Tube, TPE, 4.8mm ID, 8mm OD, White, 3m

Flexible Santoprene Tubing

Flexible Santoprene tubing from RS Pro is resistant to wear and abrasion. This flexible tubing is ideal for use on peristaltic pumps and because of its high resistance to wear you can benefit from extended pump time.

Other Peristaltic Pumps

Pumps for accurate pumping of liquids, gases and solutions, at low flow rates. The peristaltic pumping action is illustrated in the diagram. The three basic operations are: the advancing roller squeezes the tube which, as it recovers, draws in fluid which becomes trapped in the tube by the next roller and expelled from the tube as the rollers continue to rotate. This technique ensures that there is no contamination of the fluid or the pump as the fluid is totally contained in the tube; the gentle pumping action supplies accurate flow rates and as the pump is self-priming it can run dry.,Peristaltic pumps are ideal for use in laboratories, food processing/fermentation plants and beverage dispensers; with ink/photographic solutions, pharmaceuticals and many more applications so long as the fluid is compatible with the carrying tube material.
