This flexible, metric-sized tubing has a maximum vacuum pressure of 29.9 inHg (inches of mercury) and is suitable for use with water, air, food, and fuel. It is made of nylon, which is very strong and flexible, has excellent abrasion resistance, and is lightweight. It has a Rockwell hardness rating of R112 for resistance to crushing and cracking. It has an operating temperature range of -40 to +225 degrees F. This white, semi-clear tubing meets FDA standards for food handling operations. Compression fittings are recommended for most applications.Plastic tubing is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round, rectangular, or square shape and a hollow center. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities. The clarity of plastic tubing may be transparent (clear), translucent (semi-clear), or opaque (solid), and the tubing's coloring may indicate suitable applications. Barbed fittings are used to connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Plastic tubing is used in a wide variety of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, laboratory, and medicine. Applications for plastic tubing include blood and fluid handling, peristaltic pumps, electrical and thermal insulation, analytical systems, and food and beverage handling, among others.
