When it comes to choosing the right Tygon tubing there are factors to be considered. Such as the fluids being used, flexibility temperature, pressure, and the industry’s needs. Each Tygon tubing formula is manufactured with specific processes in mind. Such as for chemical transfer, medical devices, or food and beverage. Other factors that should be considered are transparency, hardness, and duty cycle.
When choosing Tygon tubing consider these main factors in order to find the right tubing for each application.
Confirm the fluids being used will be compatible with Tygon tubing being considered. Different Tygon tubing formulas are intended for specific fluids.
Different Tygon tubing formulas have different flexibilities. Ensure the flexibility of the tubing being used is what is needed for the application.
Calculate the maximum pressure of the application and use Tygon tubing that can withstand those pressures.
Take into account the temperature range of the applications and confirm that the Tygon tubing being used is compatible with that range.
Consider the transparency needs for the application. Tygon makes tubing from completely transparent to opaque.
Consider the demand of the application such as hours of operation or amount of cycles and ensure the tubing being used is rated for it.
Use these additional factors to ensure the Tygon tubing being used is the optimal choice for the application.
Tygon manufactures different tubing with the specific demands of each industry in mind. Ensure the tubing being used is intended for the applications of that industry.
Consider the cleaning and sterilization processes of the tubing and make sure it aligns with the processes of the applications being performed.
If the applications requires additional equipment such as pumps, autoclaves, and fittings, ensure the tubing has the right compatibilities for those equipment.
If the intended applications require standard certifications and compliances ensure the tubing being used are up to those standards.
