PA (POLYAMIDE, NYLON) PIPES

Description

Key Features

1. High Strength and Durability:
   • PA pipes exhibit excellent tensile strength and impact resistance, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.
   • Resistant to wear and abrasion, making them suitable for dynamic and high-stress environments.
2. Flexibility:
   • These pipes are highly flexible, allowing for easy bending and installation without cracking or deforming.
   • Ideal for applications requiring frequent movement or vibration absorption.
3. Chemical Resistance:
   • Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, fuels, solvents, and alkalis.
   • Performs well in harsh industrial environments where exposure to aggressive substances is common.
4. Thermal Stability:
   • Operates effectively across a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to 100°C, with specialized grades tolerating even higher temperatures.
5. Lightweight:
   • PA pipes are significantly lighter than metal alternatives, facilitating easier handling, transportation, and installation.
6. Low Permeability:
   • Exhibits low permeability to gases and liquids, making it suitable for pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
7. UV and Weather Resistance:
   • Certain PA grades are stabilized against UV exposure, ensuring longevity in outdoor applications.
8. Non-Toxic and Safe:
   • Suitable for use in potable water systems and food-grade applications due to its non-toxic and hygienic properties.

Applications

1. Automotive Industry:
   • Used in fuel lines, brake systems, and air conditioning systems due to their high pressure and thermal tolerance.
2. Pneumatic Systems:
   • Widely employed in pneumatic control systems and air tubing due to their flexibility and resistance to wear.
3. Oil and Gas Industry:
   • Suitable for transporting fuels, lubricants, and compressed gases, as well as applications in offshore environments.
4. Water Management:
   • Used in potable water systems, irrigation networks, and sprinkler systems due to their chemical resistance and durability.
5. Industrial Applications:
   • Common in hydraulic systems, chemical transport, and cable protection in harsh industrial settings.
6. Food and Beverage Industry:
   • Employed in food processing and dispensing systems due to their hygienic and non-toxic properties.
7. Construction:
   • Used in plumbing, conduits, and protective coverings for electrical cables.

Specifications

1. Material Composition:
   • Made from different grades of polyamide, including PA6, PA11, and PA12, with variations tailored to specific applications.
2. Sizes:
   • Available in a range of diameters (from 4 mm to 50 mm or more) and lengths, including coils for smaller diameters.
3. Pressure Ratings:
   • Designed for high-pressure applications, with ratings typically ranging up to 20 bar or more, depending on the grade and wall thickness.
