Overview: Nycoil offers a range of specially formulated Nylon tubing, known for its flexibility, toughness, and high-grade quality. This tubing is suitable for low-pressure pneumatic applications and is available in various sizes and colors.
Specifications: The tubing comes in different outside diameters (O.D.) and inside diameters (I.D.), with varying wall thicknesses and working pressures. For example, a 1/8" O.D. tubing with a 0.023" wall thickness has a working pressure of 500 PSI. The tubing is available on reels of different lengths, including 1000' reels.
Color Coding: A color code suffix is required when ordering to specify the tubing color. If no color is selected, the natural color will be supplied. Custom sizes, lengths, and colors are available upon request.
Fitting Compatibility: Nylon tubing is compatible with Push-To-Connect, Compression, and Hose Barb fittings, making it a versatile choice for various applications. It offers good chemical resistance and maintains performance at higher temperatures.
Comparison with Other Materials: Nylon tubing is a moderate-cost option compared to polyethylene (least expensive) and polyurethane (most expensive). It provides a higher working pressure and greater flow passage than polyurethane, making it a preferred choice for pneumatic circuits.
Temperature Range: The tubing operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°F to +200°F (-40°C to +93°C).
Conclusion: Nylon tubing is recommended for pneumatic circuits due to its reliability, compatibility with various fittings, and superior performance characteristics. It is a safe and effective choice for designers looking for durable and efficient tubing solutions.
