Polyurethane tubing, also known as pu hose, is a high-performance pneumatic tubing made of polyurethane material. Due to its excellent flexibility, wear resistance, and pressure resistance, Polyurethane hose have been widely used in industrial pneumatic automation control, liquid transportation, and other fields.
Types of PU Polyurethane Tubing
Clear polyurethane tubing is a representative pneumatic tubing made of polyurethane material, characterized by its transparent body. It has the properties of softness, high wear resistance, pressure resistance, and corrosion resistance of PU material itself, as well as excellent visual visibility, which can clearly observe the flow state of gas or liquid inside the pipe. There are also other types of polyurethane tubing that are suitable for different application scenarios:
Standard Polyurethane Tubing :For general industrial use, suitable for general pneumatic systems and fluid transportation.
UV Resistant Polyurethane Tubing :Enhanced UV resistance, suitable for outdoor or direct sunlight environments.
Flame Retardant PU Tubing :Having certain fire and flame retardant properties, it is used in occasions that require fire prevention, such as rail transit and electronic manufacturing.
Food Grade Polyurethane Tubing :Made of non-toxic materials that meet food hygiene standards, it can be used in the food or beverage industry.
Anti-static Polyurethane Tubing:Suitable for preventing static electricity accumulation in electronic and dusty environments.
There are various types of polyurethane tubing. Different types play the characteristics of polyurethane materials such as wear resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance and low cost for long-term use.
Characteristics Of Polyurethane Tubing
Polyurethane tubing is resistant to oil, aging, and has high hardness and elasticity. It exhibits high tear strength, heat resistance, and excellent transparency, along with good tensile, flexural, abrasion resistance, and solvent resistance. It is not easily oxidized and achieves a level of 3 or above in resistance to yellowing.
◆ Elasticity and Flexibility: PU tubing possesses excellent elasticity and flexibility, making it suitable for curved and bent applications. It can undergo stretching and bending without losing its elasticity.
◆Wear Resistance: Polyurethane tubing typically has high wear resistance, making it suitable for applications that involve frequent movement or bending.
◆Oil Resistance: PU tubing exhibits resistance to various liquids and oils, making it perform well in environments with lubricating oils or greases.
◆Chemical Corrosion Resistance: PU tubing shows resistance to certain chemicals, although the specific corrosion resistance may vary depending on material preparation.
◆Excellent Air Tightness: PU tubing generally has good airtightness, making it suitable for applications involving gas transmission, such as pneumatic systems.
◆High-Temperature and Low-Temperature Resistance: PU tubing can maintain elasticity and flexibility within a certain temperature range, making it suitable for both high and low-temperature environments.
◆Lightweight: Polyurethane tubing is relatively lightweight, making it easy to handle and install.
◆Diverse Colors: With over 30 color options available, PU tubing can be customized based on application requirements, aiding in distinguishing different pipeline uses.
◆Environmental Friendliness: Polyurethane material is considered a relatively environmentally friendly choice in some applications, especially when compared to certain other plastic materials.
Parameters of Polyurethane Tubing
Although polyurethane tubing has the characteristics of wear resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance and low cost for long-term use, fully understanding their parameters can give full play to their advantages:
Raw material | Thermoplastic Polyurethane |
Applicable medium | Air, Water, Vacuum |
Working pressure | 0~0.8MPa |
Max.applicable pressure | 1.0MPa |
Burst pressure | 2.5MPa |
Embient and fluid temperature | -20℃~+60℃ |
Hardness Shore A | 80A~98A ASTM D-2240 |
Tensile strength(kg/cm2) | 600 ASTM D-638 |
Ultimate elongation(%) | 490~590 ASTM D-638 |
Taber abrasion(mg) | 30~40 ASTM D-1044 |
Tear strength(kg/cm2) | 155 ASTM D-732 |
Understanding the general medium, temperature, pressure and other parameters of polyurethane tubing can better utilize them and reduce the cost of maintenance and replacement in the later stage.
