PU/Nylon/PE Pneumatic Tube Selection Guide, High/low Temperature, Oil-resistant & Wear-resistant Piping Specification

p>90% of pneumatic pipeline leakage and burst failures are caused by mismatched tube materials. PU, nylon and PE tubes have different pressure, temperature and oil resistance. Accurate material matching greatly reduces maintenance cost and equipment downtime.

1. Performance Comparison Of Three Pneumatic Tubes

Tube Material Pressure Resistance Temperature Range Oil & Wear Resistance Flexibility Application
PU Tube Medium-high & burst-resistant -20℃~60℃ Normal Excellent bending resistance Automatic lines & robotic movement
Nylon Tube High pressure & high strength -30℃~100℃ Superior oil & corrosion resistance Hard, suitable for fixed pipeline High-temperature & oil-polluted equipment
PE Tube Low pressure resistance Normal temperature Medium Soft & cost-effective Simple low-pressure pneumatic equipment

2. Working Condition Based Tube Selection Rules

1. Normal-temperature automatic lines & robots: Flexible PU tubes for anti-fatigue performance; 2. High-temperature & low-temperature workshops: Nylon tubes for wide temperature resistance; 3. Oil-polluted machine workshops: Oil-resistant nylon tubes to avoid swelling and damage; 4. Simple low-pressure circuits: Cost-effective PE tubes for conventional ventilation.

3. Pneumatic Tube Maintenance & Replacement Standard

1. Frequent bending parts: Replace every 8 months to prevent fatigue burst; 2. High-temperature & oil areas: Annual overall replacement to avoid aging embrittlement; 3. Avoid forced stretching and sharp cutting during installation; 4. Do not mix old and new tubes to prevent joint loosening and leakage.
