Pneumatic tubing is a type of flexible hose used to transport compressed air or other gases in pneumatic systems. These systems are commonly found in industries like manufacturing, automation, and healthcare, where precise control of air pressure is essential. Pneumatic tubing plays a crucial role in the functioning of machinery, tools, and medical devices by providing a reliable means for delivering compressed air to actuators, valves, and other components.
The tubing is typically made from materials such as plastic (e.g., nylon, polyethylene) or rubber, which are chosen for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. Proper selection of tubing size, material, and design is critical for maintaining the efficiency, safety, and longevity of pneumatic systems.
