Tube Chemical Characteristics

Tubing Chemical compatibility list mentioned is only a guide. The user is responsible to determine

the tubing compatibility to the chemical being used.

This Peristaltic pump will only work with tubing with 1/16 [1.6mm] wall, peristaltic tubing that is
relatively flexible, and that can be easily compressed.
