Aviation & Industrial...
Tubes, sleeves and fittings from various plastic materials such as Polyethylene (PE), Polyurethane (PU), Polyamide (Nylon, PA), Polypropylene (PP) or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)) are used in aerospace and many other industrial sectors for a range of hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, insulation and other applications.
Plastic tubes sleeves combine durability and flexibility with low cost and light weight. Depending on the selected tube/sleeve, and intended use, they have resistance properties such as chemical, abrasion, kink, wear and tear resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, biocompatibility, and others. Plastic tube fittings come in various configurations, including straight connectors, elbows, tees, and adapters. Common applications include those involving corrosive substances and others where weight reduction is crucial.
Tubes intended for electrical Insulation in aerospace are typically made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and conform with MIL-I-7444 and SAE-AMS-I-7444 standards. They are rigid or flexible tubes with uniform inside and outside diameters in the length, specifically designed to prevent any undesirable flow of current between conductors and other objects.They are used on electrical insulation applications requiring flexibility at low temperatures.
Sourced from leading manufacturers, plastc tubes/sleeves and related fittings are offered in different sizes to meet application requirements and sold in rolls (in the case of tubes or sleeves) or pieces and packs (in the case of fittings).
