There is disclosed a hollow tube body used for a liquid feeding member and deformable by pressurization, wherein: an axial cross-section of the tube body has two opposing long side parts and two opposing short side parts; four corner portions formed by the long side parts and the short side parts each have a shape curved to protrude outward; each of the long side parts has a recessed part recessed inward and continuing from the corner portions; and a portion other than the corner portions of each of the short side parts is in a flat shape.

Tube body and pumping device

A treatment solution supply apparatus for supplying a treatment solution to a treatment solution discharge unit that discharges the treatment solution to a treatment body, includes: a temporary storage apparatus that temporarily stores the treatment solution supplied from a treatment solution supply source that stores the treatment solution; a filter that removes a foreign substance in the treatment solution from the temporary storage apparatus; and a pump that sends the treatment solution from which the foreign substance has been removed by the filter to the treatment solution discharge unit, wherein the temporary storage apparatus has a pressure-feeding function of pressure-feeding the treatment solution stored in the temporary storage apparatus.

Treatment solution supply apparatus

A liquid can be delivered with a simple configuration. A liquid delivery method includes allowing a liquid to flow in a tube having elasticity depending on a pressure of a gas filled in an inner space between a tube housing covering an outside of the tube and an outer surface of the tube; obtaining a magnitude of a pressure of the liquid flowing in the tube as a first value; obtaining a magnitude of the pressure of the gas filled in the inner space as a second value; calculating a difference between the first value and the second value as a third value; and detecting a status of the tube on the basis of the third value.
