High-temperature resistant silicone tubing is a very special category of silicone tubing, with a clear physical property: high temperature resistance. Therefore, its applications are relatively specific. When purchasing, users should decide whether to choose high-temperature resistant silicone tubing based on their needs and select specifications suitable for the operating environment. Below is a description of the applications and common specifications of high-temperature resistant silicone tubing.
Applications of High-Temperature Resistant Silicone Tubing
As silicone tubing with high-temperature resistance as its basic property, it not only has the processing characteristics of ordinary silicone tubing but also offers outstanding advantages in heat resistance. Its main applications include the following:
First, it is used for conveying high-temperature saturated steam and superheated water. These fluids require piping with high heat resistance, and Taihua Silicone’s high-temperature resistant tubing can withstand temperatures ranging from 250°C to 300°C, which covers the temperature range of saturated steam and superheated water.
Second, it is used for liquid transportation in aviation and other fields. The operating environment of aerospace equipment is special, and only high-temperature resistant materials can meet such requirements.
Third, it is used in connections such as turbochargers, which are subject to both high pressure and high temperature. This type of silicone tubing fully meets such operating requirements.
How Many Common Specifications Are There?
Strictly speaking, there are many specifications of high-temperature resistant silicone tubing. In terms of dimensions, the available sizes are:1×2mm, 2×3mm, 3×5mm, 2×5mm, 4×6mm, 5×8mm, 5×7mm, 6×9mm, 10×14mm, 8×12mm, 14×18mm, 15×20mm, 20×28mm, 25×30mm, 28×32mm, 30×38mm, 50×60mm, and 90×100mm, totaling 18 specifications. In practice, however, only a small portion of these are commonly used.
In terms of color, Taihua Silicone’s high-temperature resistant tubing is available in transparent, brown, blue, red, white, yellow, green, orange, and other colors. Transparent is the most popular choice.
The above covers the specifications and applications of high-temperature resistant silicone tubing. As a specialized product, proper selection is crucial. Taihua Silicone specializes in various types of silicone tubing. Customers with inquiries are welcome to contact us.
