ProSeries-M Peristaltic Metering Pumps
User Guide
THE RIGHT TUBE FOR YOUR APPLICATION
This datasheet will guide you through the tube selection process.
Selecting a suitable tubing material is important to the success of the Flex-Pro peristaltic pump in a specific application.
Variables that will affect tube performance include system pressure, output volume, and chemical being dosed.
Engineering and Technical Data
TUBING CHARACTERISTICS
Shown below are the three primary application variables that will affect the life of the tube and the tubing characteristics that are affected by these variables. Chemical resistance is not depicted graphically.

MATERIALS AND DIAMETERS
- The first letter in the tubing designation always indicates the tube’s material.
- The second letter indicates the tube size. Two of the same letters indicate a dual tube assembly.
- The letter “L” at the end of the code indicates a “low pressure” or “softer” version of the tube.

Output vs Pressure and Viscosity
VISCOSITY EFFECTS
The viscosity of your chemical will have an effect on the pump output volume.
- As the viscosity increases, the pump output is reduced.
- Long suction lines will reduce the pump output. Use a flooded suction where possible.
- A small inside diameter suction line will reduce output. Use a large ID pipe or tube where possible.
- Pump tube assemblies with ½” pipe thread or ½” ID barb connections have the largest through holes. Use these options when pumping viscous fluids.
SUCTION LIFT EFFECTS
Note that the pump’s output specification is based on laboratory tests with water at 72 degrees Fahrenheit (Sp.gr. = 1.0) and 3 feet of suction lift. When lifting fluids with a Specific Gravity other than water, your output rate will vary. Use the following equation and the graphs below to calculate your pump output.
Fluid Sp.Gr. x Suction Lift Height = the equivalent height in water
Example: The Sp.Gr. of 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite at 60 degrees F is 1.20. If the required suction lift is 8 feet, the equivalent suction lift using water is 1.20 x 8 = 9.6 feet.
Note: All tests are performed after approximately 30 minutes tube break-in period. Tested using 72 F water at o atmospheric conditions at sea level. Outputvolume is shown with the pump operating at 125 rpm motor speed.
Tube Life Guidelines
How to use this data:
- Select the tube materials that are resistant to the chemical. See the following pages for chemical resistance data.
- Select the tube sizes that meet the system pressure requirement.
- Select the tube with the highest output volume and life expectancy.
