Suggestions for the use of silicone tubing
1、 Application of Silicone Tube
Silicone tubing has the characteristic of high hygiene level, therefore it is used for the transportation of drugs and food; Such as liquid medicine, fruit juice, milk, alcohol, etc., are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, life sciences, cosmetics, food and beverage, water treatment, laboratories, printing, biotechnology, etc.
1. Confirm the connection part: Before use, check whether the connection part of the silicone tube is loose, adhered, scratched or deformed to ensure its good sealing. If any problems are found, the connecting parts or the entire silicone tube should be replaced in a timely manner.
2. Clearly define the scope of use: Silicone tubing has characteristics such as temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, but it is not suitable for all environments. For example, it is suitable for transporting liquids or powders during the food process, but is not recommended for transporting high concentrations of fats or chemicals.
3. Avoid damage: During the storage and use of silicone tubes, they should be protected from obvious forces such as pressure, torsion, tension, and compression to prevent damage or aging.
4. Pay attention to curvature: Although silicone tubing has good flexibility, excessive bending may still cause it to age and deteriorate. If bending is required, it is recommended to use connectors to achieve it.
5. Control the usage temperature: Ensure that the environmental temperature of the silicone tube is within its working range to avoid phenomena such as brittleness and aging.
6. Regular cleaning: After using silicone tubing, it should be cleaned regularly to maintain its internal cleanliness and hygiene.
