Application of different types of Rubber Air Hose
There are many kinds of Pneumatic Hoses,while we don’t know much about the materials and the characteristics of the materials. At the sametime, without knowing it, we will not only waste a lot of time and money, but also reduce productivity. Let’s explore it together.
Function:
Pneumatic Hose is used to deliver pressurized air to where it’s needed, such as tools, valves, and actuators. By taking a look at what’s available on today’s market, you’ll quickly see that there are many kinds and sizes of hose.For this reason, you should consider various factors to select a product that will be appropriate for its task.
Common materials of Pneumatic Hose:
1.Polyurethane is a popular choice of material, as it’s quite strong, flexible and resistant to abrasion and kinks. It’s also strong enough to handle contact with oils and fuels. This material is often used in vacuum equipment, medical and laboratory settings, semiconductor manufacturing and pneumatic actuation systems.
2. Nylon is used as a material for tubing as it’s relatively light, yet dimensionally stable and tough. Tubing made up of nylon is often selected in applications where withstanding high pressures is important. It also offers greater flexibility, allowing it to be routed through tight spaces, low water absorption and high resistance to flexural fatigue.
3. Polyethylene tubing is regularly used for pneumatic controls and other low-pressure applications. It offers good resistance to a wide range of solvents and chemicals, is flexible and relatively affordable when compared to other materials. Semi-rigid HDPE tubing is available, which is more resistant to damage and has a higher burst pressure when compared to ordinary polyethylene tubing.
4.PVC tubing offers superior flexibility and lighter weight compared to polyethylene and nylon. It can resist exposure to chemicals and can withstand repeated sterilization procedures.
5.Polypropylene tubing is commonly used in food manufacturing. It has excellent resistance to chemicals and is well suited for outdoor applications as it’s able to withstand UV radiation without degrading.
