Aalborg model TPU tube pumps are suitable for liquids of low to medium viscosity. Chemically resistant tubing materials and peristaltic pump head technology provide reliable, long-term pump operation. Four stainless-steel rollers (an eight roller option is available) minimise pulsation and promote longer tube life. The TPU's tube set-up, changes and replacements are quick and easy, said Aalborg. Inside diameters offered are 1/8in, 3/16in, 1/4in or 5/16in, each with a 1/16in wall thickness. The size and material of the tubing chosen, as well as the selected fixed RPMs of the motor drive, determine the flow rate. The pumped fluid never touches the pump. This model is claimed to deliver smooth, precise operation and virtually eliminate maintenance problems. Pump design features include: sturdy occlusion wall and back plate; self-priming; small footprint design; flexible mounting; 115V or 230V service; and fixed RPM AC gear motors. Industry applications include science and resea...

Aalborg Instruments has introduced direct-reading scales for Models P, S and T flowmeters. Direct-reading flow-tube scales are designed for a specific gas or liquid at a given temperature and pressure, valid only for the associated units of flow. Flow rates for a specified set of parameters are clearly indicated in specific engineering units, such as ml/min or scfh. Using correlating tables and graphs to determine flow rates is no longer necessary. NIST-traceably calibrated for specific liquids and gases, these units are ideal for OEM applications and processing industries. Direct-reading scales are available for argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, methane, nitrous oxide, oxygen and propane.
