Rubber tubing stands as a paramount product meticulously crafted from high-quality rubber, featuring both an inner and outer rubber layer, fortified with a robust skeleton layer. This exceptional tubing excels in the seamless transportation of gases, liquids, slurries, or granular materials. Its primary role is to ensure the efficient transfer of media, empowered by its elastic sealing and pressure-bearing prowess. It finds extensive applications across diverse domains, including industry, automotive, and medical treatment, showcasing its versatility and indispensability.
1. Introduction to the Superb Material of Rubber Pipe
Crude Rubber: Renowned for its impressive elasticity, this material boasts remarkable wear resistance, bending flexibility, and scratch resilience, making it perfect for low-pressure environments.
Protobutadiene Rubber (SBR): Offers exceptional wear resistance at a low cost, though it exhibits limited oil resistance.
Cis-Polybutadiene (BR): Provides excellent moisture resistance and outstanding performance in low temperatures, remaining elastic even at -50ºC.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Excels with superb oil resistance, particularly against mineral and lubricating oils, though it shows limited ozone and high-temperature resistance.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR): Known for its balanced performance, offering oil, ozone, and aging resistance.
EPDM Rubber (EPDM): Withstands high temperatures ranging from -50 to 150ºC and features strong weather resistance, ideal for long-term outdoor exposure.
Fluorine Rubber (FKM): Engineered for high-temperature endurance (-20 to 250ºC) and chemical corrosion resistance, perfectly suited for extreme environments.
Silastic (VMQ): Offers outstanding high-temperature resistance (-70 to 300ºC), high transparency, and excellent electrical performance.
Chlorinated Sulfated Polyethylene Rubber (CSM): Remarkable resistance to strong acids and alkalis, such as concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids, with great permeability resistance.
Conductive Rubber: Ingeniously incorporates conductive fibers or metal mesh to effectively combat static accumulation.
Fire Retardant Rubber: Enhanced with flame retardants like aluminum hydroxide, proudly passing the UL 94 flame retardant certification.
2. Structural Composition of the Rubber Pipe
The Glue Layer: In direct contact with the conveying medium, it offers remarkable wear and corrosion resistance, including oil, acid, and alkali resistance.
| 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 ingeniously categorized into an array of types, such as sandwich hoses, braided hoses, winding hoses, and full hoses.
4. The Ingenious 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. Diverse 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. Strict 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. |
