Rubber tubing is an essential and versatile tubular product crafted primarily from high-quality rubber. This amazing product typically features an inner and outer rubber layer, reinforced with a sturdy skeleton layer. Its primary purpose is to transport a variety of gases, liquids, slurries, or granular materials with utmost efficiency. The core function of rubber tubing lies in its ability to facilitate the smooth transmission of media, owing to its elastic sealing and impressive pressure-bearing capabilities. Its widespread application extends across diverse fields such as industry, automotive, and medical treatment, making it an indispensable component in modern technology.
1. Introduction to Rubber Pipe Material: Discover the remarkable properties and diverse types of rubber materials used in our high-performance piping solutions.
Crude Rubber: Known for its exceptional high elasticity, outstanding wear resistance, and remarkable bending and scratching characteristics, this durable material is ideally suited for low-pressure environments, ensuring reliability and long-lasting performance.
Protobutadiene Rubber (SBR): This economical yet efficient rubber offers excellent wear resistance, making it a cost-effective choice, despite its weaker resistance to oil. Ideal for applications where oil exposure is minimal.
Cis-Polybutadiene (BR): Renowned for its great moisture resistance and exceptional low-temperature resilience, it maintains elasticity even at chilling temperatures as low as -50ºC, ensuring robust performance in cold environments.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Highly acclaimed for its superior oil resistance, particularly against mineral and lubricating oils. However, it exhibits weaker ozone and high-temperature resistance, necessitating careful consideration in specific applications.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR): This versatile material boasts a balanced combination of oil, ozone, and aging resistance, delivering comprehensive performance across various applications.
EPDM Rubber (EPDM): Characterized by its remarkable high-temperature resistance, ranging from -50 to 150ºC, and exceptional weather resistance, making it perfect for prolonged outdoor use and harsh environmental conditions.
Fluorine Rubber (FKM): Offering exceptional high-temperature tolerance from -20 to 250ºC and remarkable chemical corrosion resistance, this robust rubber is ideal for challenging, extreme environments.
Silastic (VMQ): With its unparalleled high-temperature resistance (from -70 to 300ºC), high transparency, and excellent electrical performance, this material excels in demanding applications requiring superior characteristics.
Chlorinated Sulfated Polyethylene Rubber (CSM): Known for its formidable resistance to strong acids and alkalis, such as concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids, and outstanding permeability resistance, providing reliable performance under harsh chemical exposure.
Conductive Rubber: Engineered with built-in conductive fibers or metal mesh to effectively prevent static accumulation, ensuring safety and reliability in sensitive applications.
Fire Retardant Rubber: Enhanced with flame retardants like aluminum hydroxide, this safety-centric material has passed the UL 94 flame retardant certification, offering protection against fire hazards.
2. Structural Composition of the Rubber Pipe: Unveil the advanced structural intricacies of rubber pipes, designed for optimal performance and durability.
The Glue Layer: Directly engaging with the conveying medium, this layer is engineered to offer superior wear and corrosion resistance, including resilience against oils, acids, and alkalis, enhancing longevity and reliability.

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 classified into various innovative types, such as sandwich hoses, braided hoses, winding hoses, and full hoses, each designed to meet specific operational demands.
4. Working Principle of Rubber Pipe: Explore the sophisticated mechanisms that enable rubber pipes to efficiently transport materials across diverse 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: Discover the extensive range of sectors and industries where rubber pipes play a critical role in achieving operational excellence.
| industrial circle |
Welding gas delivery, hydraulic system, mine ventilation. |
| automotive filed |
Coolant circulation, fuel transmission, air-conditioning system. |
| Medical field |
