Table 9-2 in Chapter 9, shows the average flow rates for different size tubing. Normalized flow rates (mL per revolution) vary significantly, based on motor speed, tubing materials, viscosity, and mechanical tolerances in pump dimensions. Table 9-3 outlines the variances resulting from differences in motor speed, tubing materials, and mechanical tolerances. Table 9-6 outlines the variances due to differences in viscosity. To determine the chemical compatibility of a particular tubing material, i
