Fabric-reinforced tubing
For applications in which the medium is conducted through the tubing at a specific pressure, silicone fabric-reinforced tubing is required.
Silicone fabric-reinforced tubing is a combination of standard silicone tubing with fabric braiding, fixed in place by a silicone coating. This bond provides pressure-resistant
silicone tubing.
Variants of silicone fabric-reinforced tubing
Our company produces fabric-reinforced tubing with
- Inner diameters of 2mm – 50mm
- Outer diameters 6mm – 65mm
Just like standard silicone tubing:
- Peroxide-cured fabric-reinforced tubing
- Platinum-cured fabric-reinforced tubing
- 70° Shore compound
- Transparent inner tubing
- Fibre-glass fabric braiding
- Transparent or red coating
- Shore compound between 60° - 80° Shore
- Various fabric braiding
- Any other colour
- Fabric-reinforcement with multiple armouring
- Two layers of reinforcement for particularly high pressures
Dimensions of fabric-reinforced tubing
| Inner diameter | Wall thickness | Outer diameter |
|---|---|---|
| 2mm bis 50mm | 2mm bis 10mm | 6mm bis 65mm |
Fabric braiding
We provide the following fabrics as reinforcement:
- Polyester | Particularly suitable for dynamic pressures
- Fibre-glass | For static pressures, at high temperatures
- Aramid | Both thermally resistant and suitable for high, dynamic pressures
| Mode (only as a guide) | Relation to the test pressure for operating pressure | Ratio of burst pressure to operating pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Water tubing, maximum operating pressure below 10 bar | 1,5 | 3,0 |
| tubing for other liquids, solids dissolved in liquids or air and water hose with a working pressure above 10 bar | 2,0 | 4,0 |
| tubing for compressed air and other gases | 2,0 | 4,0 |
| tubing for liquid media at pressure reduction, ie pass when discharging into the atmosphere in a gaseous state | 2,5 | 5,0 |
| Steam tubing | 5,0 | 10,0 |
