Omega Vehicle Security FPU5-MT-110 - Manual (Page 75)

Tubing operating life tests are done at 600 RPM, with 20°C water, 0 PSI back
pressure until the tubing breaks. Average tubing life hours are shown. However,
tubing life varies considerably depending on tubing formulation, tubing back
pressure, and fluid pumped. Tubing should be inspected periodically for wear.
