ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The device of the present invention is a compression surface for use with a peristaltic pump which includes rollers which successively and repetitively compress flexible tubing in order to maintain flow of fluid through flexible tubing. In order for the flexible tubing to be compressed, a surface must be provided against which the rollers may compress the flexible tubing. The pressure surface of the present invention includes a plate member which has an arcuate surface against which the flexible tubing is compressed. The plate member is mounted on a pivot so that it may rotate with respect to the peristaltic pump head. A biasing element holds the plate member in operative engagement wiht the flexible tubing when the tubing is placed in operative engagement with the peristaltic pump head. In this manner, the arcuate pressure surface floats on the flexible tubing while, at the same time, exerting a constant force against the flexible tubing for maintaining accuracy of fluid flow.
