Q1: What is the minimum bend radius?
A: 7–35 mm depending on size, enabling tight routing without collapse or cracking.
Q2: Where are PU tubes commonly used?
A: Air compressors, pneumatic control lines, vacuum systems, automation lines, and general factory environments with oil mist.
Q3: Are PU tubes suitable beyond industrial settings?
A: Yes. Their flexibility and low weight make them ideal for labs, workstations, and educational setups.
Q4: What color options are available?
A: Black, red, orange, clear, and blue for straightforward line identification and maintenance.
Q5: Can PU tubes be used for vacuum service?
A: Yes—rated to -750 mmHg. Also verify fitting sealing and required flow at your size.
Q6: How do PU tubes compare with nylon and rubber hoses?
A: PU = best flexibility for tight bends/moving points; nylon = higher pressure/rigidity for high-pressure or long runs; rubber = strong vibration/shock absorption but heavier and less flexible.
Q7: What real-world issues do PU tubes address?
A: High flexibility and bend endurance reduce twisting and wear on moving axes (e.g., robot arms, tool changers), extending service life and stabilizing performance.
