FAQ about Pneumatic Pipes & Hoses
Pneumatic pipes and hoses are components that transport compressed air from a compressor to various parts of a pneumatic system, such as valves, cylinders, and tools. They are designed to handle pressure and ensure a consistent airflow throughout the system.
Pneumatic pipes and hoses are made from materials such as polyurethane, nylon, polyethylene, PVC, and stainless steel. The choice of material depends on factors such as pressure requirements, temperature, and flexibility. Polyurethane, for example, is both flexible and durable, while stainless steel is used for applications requiring higher pressure and temperature resistance.
The selection of pipes or hoses depends on system pressure and temperature requirements, length, flexibility, and the type of medium being transported. It is crucial to ensure that the pipe or hose is compatible with the system’s pressure, the fittings being used, and the environmental conditions, such as whether the system operates indoors or outdoors.
