Figure 1-1. RAPID-LOAD Pump and Drive Family
Due to its unique design, different MASTERFLEX PERFECTPOSITION
B/T tubing sizes can be accommodated by this RAPID-LOAD peristaltic
pump.
For an indirect estimate of flow rate, a reflective element attached to the
rotor has been provided for use with an optical tachometer. Point
tachometer beam through front cover window and target the reflective
element.
To obtain flow rate in mL/min., multiply tachometer rpm reading times
the nominal flow per revolution value provided in TABLE 1
(Note: 3,785 mL = 1 U.S. liquid gallon).
