Economy
In addition to actual cost of the tubing the economic balance is even more in favour of Nylon because of (a) elimination of preforming (b) connections can be simplified and (c) easy and rapid installation.
Low O.D./I.D. ratio
HASOLON Nylon Tubing has substantially smaller O.D. by I.D. Ratio than any other non metallic tubing. Hence for a given i.D. and working pressure, more compact tubing connection is possible.
Stability
HASOLON Nylon tubing remains dimensionally stable because of low moisture absorption & rsistance to temperatures over a wide range of - 400C to 900C (continuous) 1300C (Intermittant).
Flexibility
It is flexible and remains elastic when bent cold, but can be permanently formed by bending when hot. The radii of curvature can be very small without flattening which cause loss of pressure.
Withstand high pressure
HASOLON Nylon tubing withstands high pressures depending upon wall thickness, diameter, use to which the tube is put and industry involved.
Low pressure losses
Because of smoother internal surface than that of metal tube, pressure lossed are low.
Chemical resistance
It has excellent resistance to chemicals, solvents, oils, greases, petrol, high speed diesel, gasoline fluorocarbon refrigerants and propellants and is impermeable to Freon, Ozone and Oxygen.
Excellent resistance to
-
Abrasion, even in the presence of dust, sand and metallic particles.
-
vibration
-
Crushing
-
impact, particularly at low temperatures (-400 C to -500 c)
-
stress cracking even to zinc chloride.
-
ageing under a wide range of conditions of use.
-
weather.
-
cold flow and to tearing of the tube from its connector.
-
fatigue cause by repeated flexing.
End fittings
By virtue of Nylon outstanding stress cracking resistance and minimal cold flow under continuous load, end fittings are firmly and permanently attached and will not tear from its connectors. Practically all type of end fittings marketed for use with Plastic tubes and Copper and Aluminium tube are perfectly suitable e.g. Drive-in and compressinon fittings.
Availability
HASOLON Nylon Tnbing is offered in continuous lengths or cut to lenght as required or ready for installation preformed and with fittings.
