Maximum Horizontal Tubing Length vs. Viscosity Table
Note: The distances shown are intended to be used as a guideline only. They are the results
of tests conducted at 21°C (70°F) ambient with a static pressure of 5.8 bar (85 psi) to the
pump. All distances assume a dynamic pressure of 2.4 bar (35 psi) at the dispenser to
maintain brix.
