    Pinch valve, chance of cold welding silicone tube

    Hi everyone, In a current project, I'm curious about the risk of silicone tube cold welding when used with a solenoid pinch valve, such as = http://cfnewsads.thomasnet.com/images/large/454/454667.jpg What is the likelihood silicone tube will cold weld at the pinch point, if the pressure is...

    Syrup or milk flowing down a tube

    thank you again. heat isn't an option, nor is changing the bottle - unfortunately. I do have a little flow, just need to make improvements to the setup to increase it. Air tube to right the bottom of the bottle is a good starting point for tweaking this. I will try making a much larger...

    Thank you. I thought bigger air bleed, more air flow. I was wrong. I will keep it small. The top of the air tube is inline with the spout, such that, the bottom of the bottle is raised higher than the air tube top. Perhaps I need to raise the top of the air tube so that it is much higher than...

    Syrup or milk flowing down a tube

    Hello everyone, I really feel out of my depth here, especially with this simple question. I'm trying to rig something up and understand why it's not working. With a pipe connected to a wine bottle sized bottle, syrup won't flow into the pipe (1cm diameter, 60cm long, down to a tap). For...
