FAQ
What are the primary chemical resistance properties of this tubing?
Our standard laboratory rubber tubing offers good resistance to water, alcohols, dilute acids, and alkalis. For aggressive solvents (e.g., strong acids, hydrocarbons, halogenated solvents), we recommend consulting our technical team for specialized tubing options.
How do I select the correct inner diameter?
The ID should match closely with the outer diameter of the glassware or fitting it will connect to. A snug fit is essential to prevent leaks. Our sizing chart provides guidance, and our customer service can assist with selection based on your specific rubber tubing laboratory apparatus uses.
Is this tubing autoclavable?
No, this standard laboratory rubber tubing is not designed for repeated autoclaving. The sustained high heat and pressure can degrade the material. For sterile applications requiring steam sterilization, we offer specific silicone-based tubing.
Do you offer custom lengths or colors for coding?
Yes. We provide custom cutting services to specific lengths. Color-coding (e.g., red for hot water/condensers) is available to help organize complex setups and enhance lab safety protocols.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources, the tubing has a shelf life of approximately 5 years from the date of manufacture.
