- Abrasion Resistance: Superior resistance to wear and tear.
- Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, and solvents.
- Durability: Long-lasting and resilient in various environments.
- Transparency: Available in transparent and colored options for easy identification.
Functions
- Fluid Transfer: Efficiently transports liquids and gases.
- Mechanical Protection: Shields delicate components from abrasion and impact.
- Flexibility: Ideal for applications requiring frequent movement and bending.
How does PU Tube/Hose work?
PU tubes and hoses operate by providing a flexible conduit for transporting fluids or protecting mechanical and electrical components. Their high flexibility allows them to bend and adapt to dynamic applications without compromising their structural integrity.
Why need PU Tube/Hose?
PU tubes and hoses are essential for applications that demand high flexibility, abrasion resistance, and durability. They are ideal for dynamic environments where frequent movement and bending occur, ensuring reliable performance and protection.
Differences Between PU Hose and PU Tube
- PU Tube: Typically refers to smaller diameter products used for precision applications and fluid transport in lighter-duty settings.
- PU Hose: Generally used for larger diameter applications, often in more demanding or heavy-duty environments, capable of handling higher pressures.
How to Choose Suitable PU Tube/Hose
1. Determine Application: Identify the specific use case, such as fluid transport, mechanical protection, or pneumatic lines.
2. Assess Environmental Conditions: Consider factors like temperature, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress.
3. Size and Diameter: Choose the appropriate size based on the required flow rate and pressure.
Differences Between PU Tube, Nylon Tube, and PE Tube
- PU (Polyurethane) Tube: Highly flexible, excellent abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance.
- Nylon Tube: High strength, excellent chemical resistance, superior durability.
- PE (Polyethylene) Tube: Lightweight, cost-effective, excellent chemical resistance, but less durable than PU and Nylon.
Applications for PU Tube and PU Hose
- Pneumatic Systems: Air lines, pneumatic controls, and automation equipment.
- Automotive Industry: Fuel lines, brake systems, and air conditioning.
- Industrial Equipment: Hydraulic and pneumatic systems, lubrication lines.
- Medical Devices: Fluid and gas transfer, protective coverings.
- Robotics: Used in robotic systems for air or fluid supply lines.
Differences Between PU Tube/Hose and PU Braided Tube/Hose
- PU Tube/Hose: Offers high flexibility and durability for general applications.
- PU Braided Tube/Hose: Contains an additional braided reinforcement layer, usually made of polyester or other strong fibers, offering enhanced pressure resistance and durability for more demanding applications.
