Useful Information
The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlets is important and
is determined by the length of tubing required. Failure to follow these
recommendations could lead to accelerated compressor wear.
< 10 meters.
Use 6/4 (6mm O/D, 4mm I/D) P.T.F.E. tubing.
> 10 - 40 meters.
Use 10/8 (10mm O/D, 8mm I/D).
> 40 metres.
Please contact Peak with the relevant distance and we will
calculate the flow resistance and the tubing size required.
A combination of 6/4 and 10/8 tubing may be used to ensure that there is no large
diameter tubing within the lab (i.e. for the first 10 meters use 6/4 tubing and the final
20 meters use 10/8).
Keep the connections and bends to a minimum.
The imperial equivalents are:-
6/4 = 1/4” O/D, 3/16” I/D.
10/8= 3/8” O/D, 5/16” I/D.
