Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the minimum bend radius for your 1mm rubber tubing?
A: The minimum bend radius is exceptionally low, typically around 5mm, thanks to its high flexibility and kink-resistant construction. This allows for very tight installations without compromising flow.
Q2: Can this tubing be used for food or medical-grade applications?
A: Our standard tubing is for industrial use. However, we offer specific grades, such as platinum-cured silicone, that are biocompatible and suitable for medical or food-contact applications. Please inquire for certified options.
Q3: How do I select the right material type (NBR, EPDM, Silicone)?
A: Material choice depends on the media and environment:
- NBR (Nitrile): Excellent for oils and fuels.
- EPDM: Best for hot water, steam, and weathering resistance.
- Silicone: Ideal for wide temperature ranges and high purity applications.
Q4: Do you offer custom printing or labeling on the tubing?
A: Yes. We provide custom printing services, such as length markings, part numbers, or company logos, to aid in identification, inventory control, and assembly.
Q5: What are the packaging options?
A: Standard packaging is on durable coils or spools to prevent tangling. We also offer clean-room packaging, cut-to-length pieces in bags, or custom kits tailored to your assembly process.
