What Is a Rubber Tubing?
A rubber tubing is a tubular product made of materials such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
Rubber tubing primarily functions through its elasticity. It can transmit various forces by stretching, compressing, or bending. Additionally, it can also transport fluids internally. Rubber tubing finds applications in various fields including medical, laboratory experiments, industrial processes, automotive, sports, and household uses.
Typically, a standard rubber tube consists of layers for internal fluid or gas flow, an intermediate layer for strength and elasticity, and an outer layer for protection and resistance to friction. The characteristics of rubber tubing include elasticity, flexibility, water resistance, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and insulation properties. Due to its diverse properties, rubber tubing is suitable for a wide range of applications.
