Pneumatic Tubing

About Pneumatic Tubing

Tubing is used to transport compressed air from one point to another within a pneumatic system. Materials depend on durability and resistance to chemicals and abrasion. They come in various sizes which are dependent on flow rate, pressure and distance the air needs to travel. Flexibility of tubing is essential, especially in applications where it needs to navigate through complex machinery or tight spaces.

Typical materials include polyurethane, nylon and polyethene. Size ranges from 4mm to 12mm with corresponding ID sizes based on wall thickness.

Tubing is designed to be flexible, allowing for easy installation and routing within the pneumatic system. This is particularly useful in applications where movement, bending or coiling is required. Things like pressure rating and temperature range vary based on material and application.

The choice of tubing material, size, and other characteristics depends on the specific requirements of the pneumatic application and proper installation and maintenance are essential for the efficient operation of pneumatic systems.
