How Pumps Work
To see the basic principle of a tubing pump in action, lay a soft rubber or plastic tube across a hard, flat surface. (See Diagram Below) With a rolling pin, pinch the tube closed at the line A-A, then roll the rolling pin toward the line B-B. As the rolling pin is pushed forward, any fluid (liquid

Throwing it All Away
Disposable products still require validation, which vendors typically provide, for materials, sterility, leaching and extractables. Process designers also must specify interconnectivity among plastic components with disposable valves, connectors and tubing. All such products carry a measurable

Engineering Hose Assemblies for Safe and Reliable Performance
are improper application, assembly, and installation. Hose assemblies simplify many issues when designing, building, and maintaining hydraulic equipment. Flexible hoses are easier to route and install, compared with rigid tubing and pipe. They lessen vibration and noise, dampen pressure surges, and permit
