Abstract
Fatigue tests have been performed for 18 silicone-rubber tubes operati ng as the active element of a crossflow pulsation generator. It was fo und that the silicone-rubber tube can be used as the main part of a ch eap and reliable oscillator with good reproducibility of the downstrea m pressure. The operating life of the tubes was between 146 h and 378 h of continuous work for peak-to-peak downstream pressure amplitude 22 0 kPa to 310 kPa and frequency 5.2 Hz to 8.5 Hz.
