Tubing made of various materials and with different internal
diameters is available from Gilson. The tubing sizes and materials,
recommended for MP and HF pump heads are shown in the
table. Tubing sizes are specified as internal diameter (ID) in
millimeters(mm). Maximum flow rates are specified in milliliters/
minute.
For any given type of pump head, the type of solution pumped
determines the type of peristaltic tubing to be used. Recommended
Tubing (by Application) on page 28.
More rigid materials, such as PVC, produce smaller pulsations. For
example, when pumping water at 45 rpm (pressure = 0.1 MPa or
14.5psi) typical values for pressure pulsations are 5% with 6 mm (ID)
PVC tubing and 20% with 6mm (ID) silicone tubing.
