Strongflex Pneumatic Hoses
The main features of pneumatic hoses are oil resistance and wear resistance, strong toughness, not easy to break, light weight, small bending radius, and high elasticity.
Oil resistance and wear resistance: Pneumatic hoses such as PU air pipes have excellent oil resistance and wear resistance. Its oil resistance is 15 to 20 times that of natural rubber, and its wear resistance is 30 to 50 times that of natural rubber.
Lightweight: It is lighter than hoses made of silicone and rubber, and has a smaller bending radius, is not easy to break, and is safer during use.
Wide range of applications: Pneumatic hoses are suitable for various industries such as industrial agriculture, food and medicine, and are used for the transportation of gases and liquids under general working pressure.
Common application of pneumatic hoses & fittings
Industrial automation: robotic arms, cylinder drives.
Auto repair: pneumatic wrenches, paint spraying equipment.
Construction sites: pneumatic nail guns, concrete spraying.
Food and medical: sterile PU hoses (FDA compliant).
Pneumatic systems: pneumatic hoses are used to connect components such as cylinders and pressure gauges
How to distinguish pneumatic fittings according to threads
1. Metric thread M (60°)
Metric thread is a commonly used thread. The standard pitch value of metric thread is arranged according to the rule of segmented arithmetic progression. The tooth type of metric thread is 60 degrees, and the pitch refers to the distance between the two tooth tips. Metric thread–the thread specification parameters are determined in metric units (mm), and are expressed as the nominal size pitch of M+thread major diameter.
2. British non-sealed pipe thread G (55°)
G is commonly known as pipe thread, which is a 55-degree non-sealed pipe thread and belongs to the Whitworth thread family. The 1/4, 1/2, and 1/8 marks in the thread refer to the diameter of the thread size, in inches.
3. American thread NPT (60°)
NPT is the abbreviation of National (American) Pipe Thread, which belongs to the American standard 60° general sealing pipe thread, used in North America, with a taper of 1:16. The 1/4, 1/2, and 1/8 marks in the thread refer to the diameter of the thread size, and the unit is also inches.
4. British thread PT (55°)
PT thread is a British tapered pipe thread with a taper of 1:16. British thread was invented first, but after World War II, American thread gradually squeezed British thread out of the market. Now only South Korea and Japan use the most British thread.
How to choose pneumatic hoses and fittings?
1. Connection method: Select the appropriate connection method according to actual needs, such as threaded connection, quick plug connection, etc. Different connection methods have different characteristics and applicable scenarios, and need to be selected based on actual conditions.
2. Pressure resistance: Clarify the pressure range that the pipes, hoses and connectors need to withstand, and select products with corresponding pressure resistance. This helps ensure that the equipment can work normally under high pressure environments and avoid leakage or damage caused by excessive pressure.
3. Material selection: Select the appropriate material according to the chemical properties and temperature requirements of the transmission medium. For example, for corrosive media, stainless steel connectors should be selected; for high temperature environments, high temperature resistant pneumatic hoses should be selected.
4. Consideration of the working environment: Select appropriate pneumatic hoses and connectors according to the scenarios to be applied.
