Rubber tubing is a versatile tubular product predominantly crafted from rubber, featuring an inner and outer rubber layer alongside a resilient skeleton layer. This marvel of engineering is expertly designed to transport a variety of media, be it gases, liquids, slurries, or granular materials. At its core, rubber tubing excels in facilitating seamless media transmission through its remarkable elastic sealing and pressure-bearing capabilities. This indispensable product finds widespread application across numerous fields, including industry, automotive, and medical treatment, highlighting its indispensable role in modern technology.
1. Introduction of Rubber Pipe Material: Dive into the world of diverse rubber materials, each offering unique properties tailored to specific applications.
Crude Rubber: Known for its exceptional high elasticity, wear resistance, and resistance to bending and scratching, this material is ideal for environments with low pressure demands.
Protobutadiene Rubber (SBR): Offers outstanding wear resistance and cost-effectiveness, though it has limited oil resistance.
Cis-Polybutadiene (BR): Exhibits superior moisture resistance and remarkable low temperature resilience, maintaining elasticity even at -50ºC.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Renowned for its excellent oil resistance, this material is perfect for mineral oil and lubricating oil applications, though it has lower ozone and high temperature resistance.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR): Balances oil resistance, ozone resistance, and aging durability, offering comprehensive performance across various environments.
EPDM Rubber (EPDM): Excels in high temperature resistance (-50~150ºC) and strong weather endurance, making it ideal for long-term outdoor exposure.
Fluorine Rubber (FKM): Withstands high temperatures (-20~250ºC) and resists chemical corrosion, perfectly suited for extreme environments.
Silastic (VMQ): Known for its remarkable high temperature resistance (-70~300ºC) and high transparency, it also offers excellent electrical performance.
Chlorinated Sulfated Polyethylene Rubber (CSM): Offers outstanding resistance to strong acids and alkalis, including concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids, and boasts strong permeability resistance.
Conductive Rubber: Incorporates built-in conductive fibers or metal mesh to effectively prevent static accumulation.
Fire Retardant Rubber: Enhanced with flame retardants like aluminum hydroxide, this rubber has achieved UL 94 flame retardant certification for safety.
2. Structural Composition of the Rubber Pipe: A deep dive into the intricate build of rubber pipes, ensuring durability and reliability.
The Glue Layer: This layer faces direct contact with the conveying medium, providing unmatched wear resistance and corrosion protection, including resistance to oils, acids, and alkalis.

Enhance the strength of the tube body, including cotton thread, steel wire, synthetic fiber, etc., to determine the pressure bearing capacity (e. g., the steel wire woven layer can withstand 80~600MPa pressure). |
| External glue layer |
Protect the internal structure from the external environment (such as ultraviolet light, mechanical friction). |
3. Structurally, rubber pipes are categorized into various types, such as sandwich hoses, braided hoses, winding hoses, and full hoses, each designed to meet specific needs and functions.
4. Working Principle of Rubber Pipe: Understand the mechanics behind rubber pipes and their unparalleled efficiency in various applications.
| Pressure transmission and energy buffer |
The hydraulic hose transfers the force through the fluid pressure, and uses the elastic shape of the rubber to absorb the pressure pulsation, and reduce the vibration of the system. For example, the hydraulic pipe of construction machinery bears high pressure (up to 60MPa or above) through a multi-layer steel wire reinforced layer. |
| Shock absorption and displacement compensation |
Rubber soft connection (e. g., flexible rubber joint) absorbs pipe displacement through the elastic deformation of the curtain layer and wire ring to reduce operating noise, which is suitable for pump valve connection and frequent vibration line. |
| Media isolation and leakage prevention |
The compactness of the inner adhesive layer combines with the protection of the outer adhesive layer to prevent the leakage of water, gas or chemicals. For example, the mobility of the coolant between the car radiator and the engine. |
5. Application Areas: A comprehensive exploration of the myriad sectors where rubber pipes prove essential, from industrial to medical fields.
| industrial circle |
Welding gas delivery, hydraulic system, mine ventilation. |
| automotive filed |
Coolant circulation, fuel transmission, air-conditioning system. |
| Medical field |
Infusion tube, surgical instrument catheter. |
| The field of agriculture |
Irrigation system, aquaculture equipment. |
| New energy field |
Automobile battery and wind turbine cooling system, etc. |
6. Standardization and Security Guarantee: Assurance of high standards and security for every rubber product, ensuring trust and reliability.
| high-voltage insulation test |
Burst pressure is 3 times the working pressure (such as hydraulic hose). |
| degradation testing |
Simulated high temperature / UV environment assessment life (theoretical value of more than 15 years). |
| Environmental requirements |
Biological based rubber and low VOC (volatile organic compounds) formula meet the sustainable development needs. |
