Tube UFT-075
Diameter: 1.3x0.75x700
Maintenance and replacement:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use highly corrosive or reactive chemicals that could degrade the material of the tube, as this might reduce its lifespan.
- Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the tube for any signs of wear, including discoloration, cracking, or deformation. Such issues can affect the sample flow and the overall integrity of the tube.
- Check for Blockages: Periodically check the tube for clogs or blockages, especially if you are working with samples that contain particulate matter or viscous liquids. Use compressed air to clear out any small particles that may be obstructing the tube.
- Flexibility Check: The tube should maintain its flexibility. If it becomes brittle or loses flexibility over time, it may be at risk of breaking or kinking, which could interfere with sample transport
Signs that the tube needs replacement:
- Cracks or Leaks: If the tube develops visible cracks, leaks, or pinholes, it must be replaced immediately to avoid sample loss or contamination.
- Loss of Flexibility: If the tube becomes stiff or brittle, it can no longer transport the sample effectively and may break during operation.
- Persistent Blockages: If the tube is constantly clogging or if cleaning no longer resolves blockages, replacement is necessary.
- Discoloration or Chemical Damage: Prolonged exposure to certain samples or chemicals may cause the tube to discolor, weaken, or degrade. If this happens, it could introduce contamination into the sample flow.
