Advantages of Silicone Corrugated Tube
Excellent Weather Resistance
Silicone is known for its outstanding ability to resist extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. A silicone tube can typically withstand temperatures between -40°C and 200°C without losing its elasticity or becoming brittle. This makes them ideal for use in applications exposed to extreme heat or cold.
Lightweight and Flexible
Silicone is a lightweight material, which makes silicone tubes easy to handle and install in different applications. Silicone corrugated tubing is very flexible, making it suitable for applications requiring tight bends and curves without kinking or blocking.
Corrosion and Aging Resistance
Silicone tubes can resist the effects of aging and corrosion, which improves their durability significantly. This provides long-term performance and reliability and minimizes the need for frequent replacements or maintenance.
Good Electrical Insulation
Silicone offers excellent electrical insulation properties, making silicone corrugated tubes suitable for applications that require the protection of electrical wires and components from moisture, debris, and mechanical stress.
Reduced Friction
The internal surface of silicone tubes is often smooth, reducing frictional losses. This is particularly beneficial in pneumatic and hydraulic systems, where the reduced friction can lead to improved flow rates and energy efficiency.
Enhanced Durability
Silicone material is known for its durability. It can withstand repeated bending, twisting and stretching without cracking or losing its structural integrity. This makes silicone corrugated tubes a long-lasting choice for applications that require flexibility and movement.
Reduced Weight
Silicone is generally lighter than many other tube materials, such as rubber or plastic. This reduction in weight can lead to easier handling, transportation, and installation. In some applications, such as aerospace and automotive, reducing weight is crucial for improving overall efficiency and performance.
Spiral Tube
The spiral tube is designed with a spiral pattern that runs along the tube's length. The pattern is usually ridged or corrugated. This design allows it to bend in different directions. It's mostly used in applications that require flexibility in multiple orientations. The tube has a lightweight design and is highly aerodynamic. It reduces the drag coefficient when fluid passes through, making it a preferred option in many industries.
Spiral Wound Tube
This type of tube is formed by winding layers of silicone material in a spiral pattern. Adhesives are used to bond the layers together. The tube is characterized by high strength and durability. It's more robust than other silicone tubes. It's mostly used in applications that need high-pressure fluid transfer.
Bellows
The silicone corrugated tube has a series of interconnecting folds or bellow-like structures. These structures enable axial compression and expansion. These tubes are usually made from high-temperature-resistant silicone. They can be used in applications that require heat resistance.
Fluted Tube
The fluted tube is designed with vertical grooves or ridges. These grooves increase the rigidity and structural integrity of the tube while allowing for some degree of flexing. The silicone corrugated tube is mostly used in applications where low-pressure fluid flow is needed.
Textured Tube
This type of tube has a silicone material with a textured outer surface. The texture provides a better grip and can prevent it from slipping in some applications. It's ideal for applications where a non-slip surface is needed.
Applications of Silicone Corrugated Tube
Chemical industry
Since silicone corrugated hoses can withstand high temperature and high pressure and have good corrosion resistance, they are widely used in the connection of various pipelines, such as the transportation of chemical reagents, acid and alkali liquids, etc.
Pharmaceutical industry
Silicone corrugated hoses are non-toxic, odorless, and medical grade.They are widely placed in areas that are easily exposed to medicines and foods during the transportation process, such as liquid medicine delivery pipelines and clean workshop filling.
Food industry
Silicone corrugated hose is made of food-grade silicone rubber, which is resistant to high temperature and grease, it is not easy to deform and does not produce secondary pollution. It is used for transportation and pipeline connections in food processing.
Aviation industry
Silicone corrugated hoses are used in aircraft engines, pipeline connections, fuel tanks, fuel pumps and other parts to ensure the normal operation of the aircraft.
How to Choose Silicone Corrugated Tube
Check The Heat Resistance
The first thing that needs to be checked is the heat resistance of the silicone hose. Different hoses have different heat ranges. Look for the one that best suits the application. If the heat is too high or too low, it can cause problems.
Check The Durability
Another important thing to check is the durability of the silicone tube. It should be able to withstand pressure, movement, and environmental conditions. A durable tube will last longer and save costs in the long run.
Evaluate The Flexibility
One of the main advantages of silicone tubes is their flexibility. When choosing a tube, ensure it can bend and move without breaking. Consider the application and choose a flexible tube that meets the requirements.
Assess The Wall Thickness
The wall thickness of the tube also affects its performance. A tube with a thin wall will be less durable, while a thick-walled tube will reduce airflow. Look for a silicone corrugated tube with a wall thickness that strikes a balance between durability and airflow.
Consider The Length
When choosing a silicone tube, consider the length. A short tube will not reach all areas, while a long tube will create excess air resistance. Choose a tube length that is suitable for the application.
Evaluate The Diameter
The diameter of the tube also influences airflow. A large diameter will allow more air to pass through, while a small diameter will reduce airflow. When buying silicone tubes in bulk, look for a corrugated tube with a diameter that suits various applications.
Compatibility
Ensure the silicone tube is compatible with the fluids or materials it will transport. This prevents leaks or breakage.
Supplier Reputation
Check the reviews and ratings of the supplier before placing an order. This will ensure the supplier delivers quality products with excellent customer service.
Installation of Silicone Corrugated Tube
Direction and Sequence
When installing corrugated silicone hose, follow the "downstream to upstream" principle, ensuring that the spigot is aligned with the flow direction and the bellmouth is countercurrent to prevent backflow of the medium and joint loosening. Use the centerline or edgeline method to control the pipe centerline and elevation to prevent installation offset and stress concentration.
Joint Connections
When using sealing rubber rings, apply lubricant to the inner wall of the bellmouth and the spigot rubber ring to reduce friction and ensure a tight seal. After aligning the center axes of the spigot and bellmouth, use pipe connectors or an excavator to secure the hose. Avoid forced installation, which may deform the corrugated structure or damage the silicone layer.
Avoid forced installation
The sealing lines on the silicone hose (such as the lip line) are easily damaged. Handle the hose with care during installation. Strike with sharp tools or rough handling are strictly prohibited, as this will damage the seal.
Maintenance and Care
Regular Inspection
Inspect the corrugated silicone hose for cracks, deformation, or looseness, especially checking the joint seals for integrity.
Regularly clean the hose to prevent clogging and corrosion. For the food industry, standard cleaning is required:
Before initial use, soak the hose in 70°C-80°C hot water for at least 10 hours.
For routine cleaning, use 90°C hot water (≤ 20 minutes) or 130°C saturated steam (≤ 30 minutes).
Corrosion and Dust Prevention
In chemically corrosive environments, choose a corrosion-resistant coating or material (such as a corrugated stainless steel lining).
In dusty environments, clean the hose regularly to prevent dust accumulation that may affect performance.
Storage and Transportation
Store in a ventilated, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures (storage at room temperature of 20°C for three years; temperatures above 35°C may cause adhesion and deterioration).
Protect the hose from rain, moisture, and frost during transportation to prevent mold and aging.
