Masterflex I/P^® Tubing Life Technical Data

I/P Performance Data for PHARMED^®, NORPRENE^®, Silicone, C-FLEX^®, TYGON^®, and VITON^® Tubing Formulations

Like the L/S^® tubing sizes, I/P sizes I/P^® 26, I/P^® 73, I/P^® 82, I/P^® 70, and I/P^® 89 offer excellent pressure generation, suction lift, ability to pump viscous fluids, and long tubing life—all at higher flow rates. This tubing is ideal for your industrial applications that require flow rates up to 17 LPM (4.5 GPM). The graph at right shows average tubing life while pumping water through a Standard pump head at 70°F (21°C).

Question: What is the average life of MASTERFLEX I/P^® 73 silicone tubing at 300 rpm?

Answer: Using the graph at right, the expected average life is about 200 hours.
