1
What is the primary difference between pipe tube and hose in plastic products?
The main difference between pipe tube and hose lies in rigidity and measurement. Pipes are rigid and measured by nominal diameter; tubes are more flexible and measured by outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID); hoses are highly flexible and reinforced for high pressure.
2
Which material is best for chemical transport?
For aggressive chemicals, we recommend PTFE (Teflon) or PVDF due to their extreme inertness. For standard industrial fluids, PVC or HDPE provides a cost-effective, durable solution.
3
Can you customize the wall thickness for my application?
Yes, we offer precision extrusion. By adjusting the wall thickness, we can modify the pressure rating and flexibility to meet your specific needs.
4
How do I choose between a plastic pipe and a plastic tube?
Choose a pipe for permanent, rigid installations (like water mains). Choose a tube for fluid transport that requires some flexibility or precision fitting into a device.
5
What is the lead time for custom samples?
Our standard sample delivery time is 7 days, including material compounding, extrusion, and quality validation.
6
Do your products support extreme temperature environments?
Yes, from cryogenic-grade PTFE to high-heat silicone, we provide materials that maintain stability in the most challenging thermal conditions.
