Nylon Tube

image

Nylon is now considered to be one of the most versatile engineering materials, being exceptionally stable, having good mechanical strengths, and resistance to chemical corrosion, including dilute acids and alkalis. Manufactured from type 12, nylon tube can be used in pneumatic control systems, fuel lines, lubrication lines and also within the food, beverage and brewing industry.

Our manufacturing tolerances are within B.S. 5409 Part 1.

WORKING PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES

The working pressures quoted within the charts are based on the short term burst pressure calculated at 20°C using a 4-1 safety factor. Working and burst pressures of semi-rigid nylon is approximately 60% higher than for flexible nylon. Maximum recommended continuous working temperature is 70°C and occasional limited periods of up to 120°C. For elevated temperatures up to 110°C with intermittent use up to 140°C for limited periods then a semi rigid nylon should be used. Any increases in temperatures above 20°C will affect the short term burst pressure quoted, see graph and example. Minimum operating temperature -40°C.

All our nylon tube is heat and light stabilised and can also be produced in a semi-rigid grade of nylon in all the sizes below. Prefix Part No. SR / ANI / SR / ANM

COIL LENGTHS

Standard coil length 30 metres, alternative coil lengths are available further information my be obtained from our Technical Sales Office.

All our range of tube sizes are available in Natural, Black, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Grey and Pink.
