TUBING SELECTION

Flow rate is determined by the size of the tubing in the pump head. For best results, select a tubing size with a mid-range
at the desired flow rate to be pumped. Table 3 provides an average of flow rates using silicone tubing measured with
water at standard pressure at 20°C (68°F) for each pump type. No lift or discharge pressure is represented. Higher flow
can be achieved by using PHARMED
