What is PU Braided Tube / PU Braid Hose?
PU (Polyurethane) braided tubes and hoses are high-performance conduits reinforced with a braided layer, usually made of polyester or other strong fibers. This reinforcement provides enhanced pressure resistance and durability, making them suitable for demanding applications.
Features
- High Strength: Enhanced tensile strength due to braided reinforcement.
- Flexibility: Maintains flexibility while providing extra durability.
- Abrasion Resistance: Superior resistance to wear and tear.
- Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, and solvents.
- Transparency: Available in transparent and colored options for easy identification.
Functions
- Fluid Transfer: Efficiently transports high-pressure liquids and gases.
- Mechanical Protection: Shields delicate components from abrasion and impact.
- Flexibility: Ideal for dynamic applications requiring frequent movement and bending under pressure.
How does PU Braided Tube/Hose work?
PU braided tubes and hoses function by combining the flexibility and durability of polyurethane with the strength of a braided reinforcement layer. This structure allows them to handle higher pressures and more demanding conditions compared to non-braided tubes and hoses.
Why need PU Braided Tube/Hose?
PU braided tubes and hoses are essential for applications that require high flexibility, abrasion resistance, and the ability to withstand high pressures. They are ideal for dynamic and heavy-duty environments where both flexibility and strength are critical.
Differences Between PU Braided Hose and PU Braided Tube
- PU Braided Tube: Typically refers to smaller diameter products used for precision applications and fluid transport in lighter-duty settings.
- PU Braided 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 Braided Tube/Hose
1. Determine Application: Identify the specific use case, such as high-pressure fluid transport or mechanical protection.
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 Braided Tube, Nylon Braided Tube, and PE Braided Tube
- PU (Polyurethane) Braided Tube: Highly flexible, excellent abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance, and enhanced pressure handling due to the braided layer.
- Nylon Braided Tube: High strength, superior durability, and excellent chemical resistance.
- PE (Polyethylene) Braided Tube: Lightweight, cost-effective, good chemical resistance, but less durable and pressure-resistant compared to PU and Nylon.
Applications for PU Braided Tube and PU Braided Hose
- Pneumatic Systems: High-pressure air lines, pneumatic controls, and automation equipment.
- Automotive Industry: High-pressure fuel lines, brake systems, and air conditioning.
- Industrial Equipment: Hydraulic and pneumatic systems, lubrication lines.
- Medical Devices: High-pressure fluid and gas transfer, protective coverings.
- Robotics: Used in robotic systems for air or fluid supply lines under high pressure.
Differences Between PU Braided Tube/Hose and Regular PU Tube/Hose
- Regular PU Tube/Hose: Offers high flexibility and durability for general applications.
- PU Braided Tube/Hose: Provides additional strength and pressure resistance due to the braided reinforcement, suitable for more demanding applications.
