The
Solinst Peristaltic Pump is lightweight and compact
with easy access controls. The metal case is extremely
robust, water resistant, and has no grates or
openings. Ideal for fast sampling to depths of
25 or less. Convenient purge and sample
settings allow for purge rates to 3 l/min and
sampling rates to 60 ml/min.
The
mechanical peristaltic operation is effective
to depths of 28 ft(8.5m) at sea level, being
limited only by the suction lift limit.
The
Solinst Peristaltic Pump has a variable pumping
rate and can deliver from 60 ml/min. in sample
mode and as much as 3 litres/min. in the purge
mode.
Compact
and Light Weight
The Solinst Peristaltic Pump is very compact
and easy to use. It Measures 13 x 4.5
x 9 (32cm x 11cm x 22cm) and weighs only
9.5 lbs (4.3 Kg).
The
Metal case is extremely robust, water resistant,
and has no grates or openings.
A
handle and easy-access controls on the top of
the pump, make it perfect for fieldwork.
Tubing
The standard pump tubing is medical grade silicon
which attaches easily to 3/8 x 1/2
(10mm x 12mm) down well tubing.
To
give high sample integrity, the sample comes
in contact with the tubing. The tubing is easy
to clean or replace. To avoid cross contamination
between wells and lengthy decontamination procedures
simply change the inexpensive tubing between
wells.
High
Quality VOC Samples
When sampling for volatile organics using the
Peristaltic Pump it is advisable to collect
samples in-line, ahead of the pump, to avoid
the stripping of volatiles from the sample.
The Solinst VOA Bottle Filler, Model 470 is
ideal for this. It holds 3 standard 40 ml bottles.
It
is also useful to place a Flow-Through Cell
in-line, to allow the water to be monitored
for the conductivity, pH, temperature or other
appropriate parameters. When the readings stabilize
the operator can be sure that the sample bottles
now contain fresh formation water.
Power
The pumps operate using any external 12 volt
DC supply at 3-5 amps maximum. The variable
speed motor is reversible and is equipped with
a 5 amp internal fuse and blocking-type reverse
polarity protection.
A
power cord, 12 ft (3.66 m) long, is included
with each Peristaltic Pump. The power cord is
fitted with alligator clips for easy connection
to almost any 12 volt DC battery, such as a
car battery or a small 12 v x 6.5 AH gel cell.
