Pneumatic Tubing Dubai
Inflex Hydraulics offers a range of pneumatic tubing, accessories and other air hose components which are used in combinations to support most pneumatic and some fluid applications.
Pneumatic tubing and hose is used to carry pressurized air to valves, tools, actuators and other devices. There are a variety of types and sizes of pneumatic tubing available in the market and hence selection of the right tubing depends on a number of factors. Pneumatic tubing is made of a single material and may have internal reinforcement, whereas a pneumatic hose consists of a inner tube, braided or spiral wound reinforcement layer and an outer protective cover.
The air flow required usually helps you to determine the hose or tubing size. Tubing is usually specified by outer diameter and wall thickness, while hoses are specified by inner diameter. The right inner diameter needs to be selected as too small an inner diameter may strangle the flow, resulting in pressure loss, inefficient delivery and excessive fluid velocity that can shorten the service life. On the other hand too large a diameter will result in higher than necessary size, weight and cost besides pressure drops.

Thermoplastic tubing is made from several materials with countless variations of formulations for specific applications. Polyurethane, Nylon, Polyethylene, Polyvinylchloride, polypropylene are some of the materials that manufacturers use.
Other than using the right material for a particular need, two common physical properties need to be considered too, flexibility and kink resistance.
Another attribute is colour. Tubing comes in a wide range of colours, and also in transparent and translucent types too. Besides, the working pressure, do consider the working temperatures too.
Other than the standard products there are special purpose products in tubing like High strength, abrasion resistance, flame resistant, weld spatter resistant, electrical conductivity or non-conductivity, shaped tubes etc.
A variety of fittings in different materials are also available to build pneumatic tubing and hose assemblies.
