GENERAL PURPOSE TUBES

The general purpose tubes and hoses are used for the general purposes which do not require high range of purity of the compound. These are mostly used in many domestic appliances and in the workshops or hobby applications because of their excellent flexibility.

MEDICAL/FOOD GRADE TUBES

These are specially designed hoses and tubes which are made in a manner so that they do not react with any medical or food material. They are sterilized in standard autoclaves in order to make them fit for the application in which they come in close contact with the food ingredients, body tissues and fluids or sensitive drugs. In this particular type of tubing the manufactured silicone tubes and hoses are completely tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic with a special property which does not support bacterial growth.

The high pressure tubes and hoses are made by strengthening their composition with wire or polyester braids which combats expansion and flattening. These tubes are mostly used when then the tubes are in direct contact with pressurized gases or suction is conducted. However, sharp edged clamps and fitting should be avoided near the tubes as they have low tensile strength and resistance to steam which may cause excessive wear and tear.

USES OF SILICONE TUBES IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

Silicone has a multiple usage in the industrial sector because of its excellent properties and types which provide a very wide area for functioning. Some of these uses are:

Rubber Expansion Joints

The rubber expansion joints are designed for piping systems to absorb or contract to compensate and dampen the excessive force within the pipelines. They are extremely reliable and efficient even in operations in nuclear power plants which have extremely high pressure and temperature conditions. They are made of high quality rubber to improve efficiency in the engineered processes and have multiple applications in the various chemical and environmental industries.

PROPERTIES OF RUBBER EXPANSION JOINTS

The rubber has excellent properties which enables the extensive use of rubber expansion joints in various industries. Some of the properties of rubber expansion joints are:

ABSORBS ALL DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENTS

The joints enable superior quality axial compression, axial extension and lateral deflection. Also, the joints provide angular and torsion direction along with many other advantages.

REDUCES NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

The joints dampen and insulate the excessive noise and vibrations caused by the mechanical equipment.

HIGH RESISTANCE TO SHOCKRELIEVES PIPE AND ANCHOR STRESS

They are ideally suited for earthquakes and other ground movement activities such as explosion.

COMPENSATES FOR MISALLIGNMENT

They compensate for pipe misalignment until it can be corrected.

PROVIDING ACCESS TO PIPING AND EQUIPMENT

The piping and equipment can be reached by just removing the joints which can be done with great ease.

COST EFFECTIVE

They are much cheaper than the old traditional metal joints which required higher maintenance as well.

TYPES OF RUBBER EXPANSION JOINTS

The rubber expansion joints are primarily of two types:

MATERIALS (TYPES OF RUBBER) USED FOR PRODUCTION OF EXPANSION JOINTS

ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES OF VARIOUS RUBBERS ENABLING THE USE IN RUBBER EXPANSION JOINT MANUFACTURING

TYPE	COLOR	PROPERTY
NEOPRENE	Black	Excellent weather, oil and gasoline resistance.
EPDM	Red	Amazing ozone, sunlight, chemical, water and compressed air resistance. Great electrical insulation. Unsuitable for uses with oil, greases and gasoline.
NBR	Yellow	It has an excellent resistance against oil, gasoline, gases, solvent, greases, and abrasion.
HYPALON CSM	Green	Outstanding chemical and environmental resistance.
BUTYLL IIR	Blue	The rubber has amazing resistance towards chemicals, environment and compressed air.
VITON FPM	Purple	Highly suitable for oil, gasoline and solvents only.
PTFE	White	Remarkable resistance to all media except some chemicals at certain conditions.

TEMPERATURE RANGE OFFERED BY THE VARIOUS RUBBER EXPANSION JOINTS

The rubber expansion joints we manufacture are acknowledged for their host of qualitative features such as durability, strength and dimensional accuracy. These are manufactured using qualitative material sourced from trusted vendors. These joints finds extensive application in various industries and are offered as per the requirement of the clients.

Rectangular Expansion Joints

We offer a wide assortment of rectangular expansion joints that are widely used in all piping systems to offer relief from stresses by thermal expansion, contraction and vibration. These joints are offered in various sizes ranging from 1” (25mm) NB to 60” (1500mm) mm. The entire range is available in different types such as standard single, multiple arches with or without retaining metallic rings. The joints are fabricated of high tensile rubber reinforced with nylon, rayon, tyre cord, wire mesh, depending on applications and pressure rating. The range of rubber comprises nitrile, neoprene, natural, EPDM, butyl, hypalon and Viton.
