Omega Engineering OMEGAFLEX FPU5-MT-110 User Manual page 75

Tubing operating life tests are done at 600 RPM, with 20°C water, 0 PSI back
pressure until the tubing breaks. Average tubing life hours are shown. However,
tubing life varies considerably depending on tubing formulation, tubing back
pressure, and fluid pumped. Tubing should be inspected periodically for wear.

NOTE: Poor tubing life results were obtained for
Santoprene tubing. This particular tubing should not be used with the FPU5-MT
Series pump motor.
