You may carefully choose the peristaltic pump but ignore another part-peristaltic hose. However, if you take no count of such hose, that will be wrong. In fact, the hose and relevant maintenance is really matter. Because it may cause bad fluid transfer and block. Next let’s talk about how to choose a hose
Peristaltic hose certificate
In special usages such as food and medicine, the hose must fit the standards. While these standards are:
Chinese GB4806.11-2016
Hose only has these certificate can fit the standard. But if not, it can’t circulate on the market. Besides, it’s illegal.
Chemical corrosion resistance
When transfer fluids, the hose should have excellent chemical property. While it includes temp and corrosion resistant as well as hard to aging. However, temp concerns the corrosion property. It will be lower as the temp rise. That’s to say the chemical may affect the hose at high temp. Although it will not at normal temp.
The chemical property of normal hose is not that good as peristaltic hose. Even a small volume chemical will cause huge damage to hose. Finally cause a bad deliver and hose leak. Worse more, it may break the hose and cause security accident.
To avoid above problem, you need a test before use the hose.
Peristaltic hose soak test
If you are not sure if the fluid fits hose, take a sample. Then record the weight, diameter and length. After that, sink it in a container with liquid for 48 hours. Then clean and dry it. Test the weight and length again and see the change. Meanwhile, check if the hose turns soft or brittle. If yes, that means the hose is affected by chemical. And the hose doesn’t fit the fluid. While if the hose never change color or crack, that means it fits the fluid.
Above are the 2 factors you need to concern when choose peristaltic hose. In fact, there are still other factors. If you want to learn more, fell free to contact Orientflex.
