Flow rates
The flow rates given below were obtained using silicone tubing, with the
pumphead rotating clockwise, pumping water at 20C with zero suction and
delivery pressures (unless otherwise stated).
Where an application is critical, the flow rate should be determined under
operating conditions. The important factors are suction and delivery
pressures, temperature, and fluid viscosity.
Tube life will be reduced when pumping against pressure.
The flow rates shown are the combined flow using the Watson-Marlow
Double-Y tubing elements. Flows for two separate channels are each
approximately half that given.

* 9.6mm bore through pumphead and to delivery; 12.7mm bore to source. An
MNA 0345A twin tube clamp assembly, available from Watson-Marlow or its
distributors, must be purchased to enable the 9.6mm high-flow Double-Y
tubing element to be used.
