Frequently Asked Questions
Is this polyurethane tube suitable for compressed air in medium pressure systems?
Yes, the tube is designed for medium pressure applications and is widely used for compressed air lines in pneumatic and automation systems, provided it is operated within the recommended pressure and temperature limits for the specific size selected.
Can this tube handle contact with oils and common industrial chemicals?
The polyurethane material offers good resistance to many oils and industrial chemicals, making it suitable for use with lubricated air and various compatible fluids. Always check chemical compatibility for your specific media and operating conditions before use.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my installation?
Select the internal and external diameter based on the required flow rate, working pressure and the connection sizes of your fittings or equipment. Choose the nearest suitable coil length that covers your routing path with a small allowance, helping to minimise waste while avoiding excessive tension on the tube.
