Silicone Pump Tubing Projects

Match the pump head

A pump tube is repeatedly compressed in a defined head. Identify the pump model, approved tubing size and occlusion setting where available. Transfer tubing with a similar bore should not be assumed to provide equivalent pumping behavior.

• Specify ID, OD and wall thickness together.
• Identify the active pumping length and end connections.
• Record speed, duty cycle and inlet/outlet conditions.

Define a measurable pumping trial

State the fluid, required flow or dosing result, operating temperature and trial duration. Agree how flow drift, visible damage, leakage and replacement criteria will be assessed. Test results from another formulation or pump head cannot establish this project's service life.

Keep suitability questions separate

Pump performance and food-contact documentation are different reviews. Evidence must identify the proposed formulation and intended food/cleaning exposure. This family does not assert medical suitability, sterile use, dosing accuracy or pump life.

Prepare your inquiry

• Pump-head specification and tubing-size reference.
• Fluid, flow/dose target and operating settings.
• Proposed trial and replacement acceptance criteria.
• Food-contact market and cleaning documentation needs.

Buyer questions

Can ordinary silicone transfer tube be used in a pump?

Confirm the pump-head requirements and evaluate the proposed tubing under the actual compression cycle.

Does a material certificate prove pump life?

No. Pump life and dosing behavior require a defined trial on the relevant tube, pump and operating conditions.

General references and scope

These references explain general engineering or regulatory context. They are not Xinwei finished-product specifications, test results or compliance evidence.

• Bio-Sil Precision Tubing — Demonstrates that pumping tubing uses a specific formulation and wall-thickness/concentricity control. Medical application data are not food-contact evidence, pump life evidence or Xinwei capability.
• 21 CFR 177.2600 — Rubber articles intended for repeated use — Official current text, particularly paragraphs (a)–(c) on composition and (d)–(g) on use/finished form/extraction/cleansing. Regulatory context only; no Xinwei product compliance is established.
• Food Contact Materials — Legislation — EU framework, good manufacturing practice, documentation, traceability and national provisions. Not a declaration that a silicone product satisfies every destination requirement.
