Which hose can be used in a peristaltic pump for pumping aggressive chemicals?

TYGON®Chemical tubing is suitable for transferring aggressive chemicals in a peristaltic pump. It is a two-layer construction tubing. The inner layer has very good chemical resistance, is free of plasticisers, resistant to acids, bases, salts, alcohols and ketones. The outer layer is made of a thermoplastic elastomer (Norprene®), for longest performance in the peristaltic pump.

Can rubber expansion joints operate in vacuum conditions?

Yes. Rubber expansion joints can operate in vacuum conditions. However, the value of vacuum depends on the type and diameter of the expansion joint. As the diameter increases, the value of a permissible operating vacuum in rubber expansion joints decreases. So, when the rubber expansion joints, especially those with larger diameters, are to withstand such [...]

Which type of elastomer is best for rubber expansion joints for hot water?

EPDM rubber is normally used in expansion joints for hot water. It has great temperature resistance, even up to +130C (with peaks up to +150C) depending on the type of expansion joint. It shows considerable longevity undergoing only slow weathering. In addition, it is resistant to weak acid and base solutions, technical alcohols, esters and [...]
