Abstract
A “load and go” peristaltic pump tubing arrangement without a special configuration, such as the “Double-Y” tubing connectors used by the Watson Marlow 505L pump head. One of the critical components in the peristaltic pump system is the pump tubing which now can be monitored so that the health of the peristaltic pump is known. The result is a “smart” peristaltic pump using a notch or other part in a second spring-clamp or tubing holder. Located on two ⅛ 316 inch shoulder screws are two roller clutches and two spacers to complete the assembly of the pump. The distance between the two rollers allows the tubing to elongate but not move backward toward the peristaltic rollers.
