Rubber tubing stands as a versatile tubular marvel, crafted primarily from high-quality rubber materials. This product typically features an intricate design comprising an inner and outer rubber layer, complemented by a robust skeleton layer. Its primary function is the seamless transportation of gases, liquids, slurries, or granular materials. The core strength of rubber tubing lies in its ability to facilitate the transmission of various media through its superior elastic sealing and pressure-bearing capabilities. Celebrated for its adaptability, rubber tubing finds widespread application across diverse sectors, including industry, automotive, and medical fields.
1. Introduction of Rubber Pipe Material
Crude Rubber: Distinguished by its high elasticity, exceptional wear resistance, and remarkable bending and scratching characteristics, making it ideal for low-pressure environments.
Protobutadiene Rubber (SBR): Renowned for its excellent wear resistance and cost-effectiveness, although it exhibits limited oil resistance.
Cis-Polybutadiene (BR): Offers superior moisture resistance and outstanding low-temperature resilience, maintaining elasticity even at -50ºC.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Praised for its exceptional oil resistance, particularly against mineral and lubricating oils, though it has limited ozone and high temperature resistance.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR): Provides a balanced performance with oil resistance, ozone resistance, and aging resistance.
EPDM Rubber (EPDM): Exhibits high temperature resilience (-50~150ºC) and strong weather resistance, perfect for prolonged outdoor exposure.
Fluorine Rubber (FKM): Noted for its high temperature tolerance (-20~250ºC) and chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for extreme environments.
Silastic (VMQ): Offers high temperature resistance (-70~300ºC), high transparency, and excellent electrical performance.
Chlorinated Sulfated Polyethylene Rubber (CSM): Known for its resistance to strong acids and alkalis, such as concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids, with strong permeability resistance.
Conductive Rubber: Engineered with built-in conductive fibers or metal mesh to effectively prevent static accumulation.
Fire Retardant Rubber: Incorporates flame retardants like aluminum hydroxide and meets UL 94 flame retardant certification standards.
2. Structural Composition of the Rubber Pipe
The Glue Layer: Directly interacts with the conveying medium, offering impressive wear resistance and corrosion resistance, including oil, acid, and alkali resistance.

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 elegantly categorized into diverse types such as sandwich hoses, braided hoses, winding hoses, and full hoses.
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 |

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 |
