As an accessory of a peristaltic pump, the quality of the hose directly affects the stability of the peristaltic pump and the accuracy of the liquid. Incorrect use can accelerate the wear of the hose, thereby reducing its lifespan.
1. Let me first introduce the working principle of a peristaltic pump. It is achieved by repeatedly squeezing the specialized hose of the peristaltic pump, relying on the negative pressure generated by the rebound of the hose to transmit fluid. However, if the hose is left in a squeezed state for a long time, it will cause the elastic loss of the hose. So when not using the peristaltic pump, please release the pump head pressure pipe module after stopping work.
2. Since the flow rate is generated by the rotation of the peristaltic pump head, when choosing a peristaltic pump, try to choose a pump head with a larger flow rate while meeting your work needs, and then run it at a lower speed to extend the lifespan of the hose.
3. The material of the hose also plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the peristaltic pump. The specialized hose for peristaltic pumps has advantages such as strong compression resistance and rebound force, high wall thickness accuracy, standard shape, and high material purity. Choosing a suitable material for the peristaltic pump specialized hose can prolong its usage time.
4. Hoses are consumables, and placing them in the center of the peristaltic pump rollers during use can reduce wear and tear. If the placement of the hose is not standardized, it may quickly damage the hose and cause cracks. To avoid fluid leakage and damage to equipment or human body, it is necessary to check in a timely manner.
5. The working environment of the equipment can also affect the lifespan of the hose. Excessive or insufficient working temperature can cause the hose to lose its elasticity. Please avoid using peristaltic pumps in extreme environments.
6. Finally, and more importantly, the impact on the pump pipe varies depending on the liquid being transported. No pump pipe can transport all fluids. So when selecting pump tubes, please compare them through the chemical compatibility table or choose suitable pump tubes for use through immersion experiments.
