Rubber tubing is an essential, versatile product primarily crafted from resilient rubber, featuring an inner and outer rubber layer fortified by a robust skeleton layer. This ingenious design allows for the efficient transport of gases, liquids, slurries, or granular materials. At its core, rubber tubing excels in facilitating the seamless transmission of media, thanks to its remarkable elastic sealing and pressure-bearing capabilities. It is a cornerstone in numerous fields, including industry, automotive, and medical treatment, where its reliability and adaptability are indispensable.
1. Introduction of Rubber Pipe Material
Crude Rubber: Renowned for its outstanding elasticity, wear resistance, and superior bending and scratching characteristics, crude rubber is the ideal choice for low-pressure environments, offering unmatched flexibility and durability.
Protobutadiene Rubber (SBR): Distinguished by its excellent wear resistance and budget-friendly nature, SBR is a cost-effective solution, though it lacks robust oil resistance.
Cis-Polybutadiene (BR): Celebrated for its superior moisture resistance and exceptional low-temperature performance, BR maintains elasticity even in freezing conditions up to -50ºC.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Praised for its unparalleled oil resistance, especially against mineral and lubricating oils, NBR is a top choice despite its limited ozone and high-temperature resistance.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR): Offering a harmonious blend of oil, ozone, and aging resistance, CR presents a balanced performance across various applications.
EPDM Rubber (EPDM): Known for its robust high-temperature resilience (-50~150ºC) and exceptional weather resistance, EPDM is perfect for prolonged outdoor exposure.
Fluorine Rubber (FKM): With impressive high-temperature endurance (-20~250ºC) and chemical corrosion resistance, FKM thrives in extreme environments.
Silastic (VMQ): Boasting high-temperature tolerance (-70~300ºC), high transparency, and excellent electrical properties, VMQ is a superior choice for demanding conditions.
Chlorinated Sulfated Polyethylene Rubber (CSM): Engineered to withstand strong acids and alkalis, such as concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids, CSM offers robust permeability resistance.
Conductive Rubber: Ingeniously integrated with conductive fibers or metal mesh, conductive rubber is designed to avert static accumulation effectively.
Fire Retardant Rubber: Enhanced with flame retardants like aluminum hydroxide, it surpasses stringent UL 94 flame retardant standards.
2. Structural Composition of the Rubber Pipe
The Glue Layer: In direct contact with the conveyed medium, this layer is fortified with wear and corrosion resistance properties, effectively enduring oil, acid, and alkali exposure.
| casing pyl |
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 expertly categorized into diverse types, including sandwich hoses, braided hoses, winding hoses, and full hoses, each designed for specific applications.
4. Working Principle of Rubber Pipe
| 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:
| 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:
| 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. |
