  • Page 5: Description

    ENGLISH 2 - DESCRIPTION Gilson’s MiNiPULs 3 is a peristaltic pump, designed for transferring fluids with a high level of speed stability and a low pulsation level. it has many applications, including the following:  transferring solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and gases at up to 200 °C.

  • Page 6: Pump Head

    Pump Head R1 Pump Head Pump heads are composed of a rotor with idle stainless steel rollers that press a flexible piece of tubing against a cam. in this way liquids are pumped by a peristaltic effect. R2 Pump Head There are two types of pump heads: the MP (standard) and the HF (High Flow) series.

    HF models can use either type of tubing. The user then links the MiNiPULs 3 with other hydraulic com- ponents of the system (for example chromatographic columns) using connection tubing, connectors, and couplers of appropriate diameter and material.
  • Page 11 ENGLISH Diameter and Flow Rate select the peristaltic tubing diameter that gives the desired flow rate by reference to the speed/Flow rate Charts (page 13 to page 15). These graphs represent the values obtained in laboratory tests, where the liquid was allowed to flow freely from the tubing against atmospheric pressure only. There was no additional back-pressure (e.g.
