Tubing Specifications

Material


	Metals Selection
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		A bluish silver-white malleable ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Brass / Bronze		Brass comes with good strength, excellent high temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties and low magnetic permeability.
	Copper		Copper tubing may be cut and formed readily and is often used in gas or refrigerant applications. Copper is a common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity.
	Hastelloy®
	Titanium		Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery, element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is known for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. For this reason it is used widely in the aerospace industry and the medical fields (e.g., replacement joints). When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, it adds strength and oxidation resistance.
	Precious Metal		Metals of high material value such as silver, gold and platinum.
	Steel		A commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high-pressure ratings.

It also has very good chemical resistance but is prone to environmental stress cracking; it has poor UV resistance (unless modified) and poor barrier properties, except to water. Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) is a thermoset material made from medium or high density, cross-linkable polyethylene meeting the requirements of ASTM F876 and F877. Introduced into the United States in the 1980's, PEX has replaced polybutylene (PB) as the most widely used flexible plumbing tubing. PEX is recognized as acceptable for water distribution tubing in most model plumbing codes.
	Polypropylene (PP)		Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material exhibiting excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. It is similar to PVC but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone.

(NOTE: The urethanes of the plastics industry are so named because the repeating units of their structures resemble the chemical urethane.) Trade names include Texin® (Bayer), Adiprene® and Vibrathane® (Uniroyal Chemical), Estane® (B F Goodrich), Genthane® (General Tire and Rubber), Millathane®, and Pellethane® (Dow Chemical).
	PTFE		Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
	PVC		Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material that has good flexibility, smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex).
	PVDF		Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) exhibits resistance to oxidants, acids, and other chemicals. It also exhibits a high degree of fire resistance. PVDF is a melt processable fluoropolymer. It is similar in properties to other fluoropolymer, but has better strength and lower creep than the other members of this family. PVDF has good wear resistance, and excellent chemical resistance. But does not perform well at elevated temperatures. Brand names include: Kynar® (Elf AtoChem).
	Rubber (Natural)		Natural compounds such as gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex.
	Rubber (Synthetic)		Synthetic rubber includes many grades such as Norprene®, neoprene, and silicone; these compounds typically exhibit high abrasion resistance and fluid and chemical resistance. Norprene® is a registered trademark of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics.
	Tygon®		Tygon® is a proprietary class of materials and formulations developed specifically for fluid transport tubing in many applications. Tygon® is a registered trademark of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics.
	Advantapure®		Advantapure® is a proprietary class of materials and formulations developed specifically for fluid transport tubing in many applications. It is a registered trademark of NewAge Industries.
	Vinyl		Vinyl exhibits good flexibility and chemical resistance; it is used in many medical and chemical applications.
	Viton®		Viton® is a high performance fluoroelastomer, or synthetic rubber. It is noted for its high resistance to oils and chemicals at elevated temperatures. Viton® is a registered trademark of Dupont Dow Elastomers.
