Acid Tubing (White) Suitable for Bluelab PeriPod L - 4 m

Chemical-Resistant pH Dosing Line for PeriPod L3, 4 m PTFE

Dosing tubing wears, hardens and can be attacked by concentrated pH adjusters, and a failed line means an uncontrolled leak or a missed dose. This replacement acid/alkali (PTFE) tubing is made for the Bluelab PeriPod L3, so it fits the pump and fittings as designed. It is supplied as a 4 metre cut length with barbs.

Commercial operators running PeriPod L3 dosers should keep spare tubing on hand so a worn line does not interrupt pH control.

About Bluelab Replacement Tubing

Bluelab supplies replacement dosing tubing for its controllers and PeriPod dosers. Bluelab notes that temperature, pressure and UV exposure can cause tubing failure, so test the tubing with your chemical in your application before relying on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use acid-rated tubing for pH adjusters?

pH up and pH down are concentrated chemicals that can degrade ordinary tubing. PTFE tubing resists these chemicals, which helps prevent leaks and failed doses.

What chemical concentrations can it handle?

As a guide, Bluelab lists maximum concentrations for this PTFE tubing of nitric acid under 35%, phosphoric acid under 85%, citric acid under 60%, and potassium hydroxide or potassium silicate under 60%. Bluelab notes that temperature, pressure and UV exposure can cause tubing failure, so test the tubing with your chemical in your application before relying on it.

How often should I replace dosing tubing?

Replace tubing when it shows cracking, hardening, discoloration or leaks, or if doses become inconsistent. Bluelab warrants PeriPod cassettes and tubing for 6 months, reflecting that they are wear parts.

Is the tubing cut to length?

It is supplied as a 4 metre cut length with barbs. Fittings are included, as listed above.
