Tubing, whether durable or disposable, or made of rubber or plastic, are important parts of many medical devices. Depending on the application, they may be made of single use plastic for hygienic reasons. On the other hand, rubber tubing or that made from more durable plastic construction is designed to be durable and so are […]
Flexible rubber bellows or expansion joints are an integral part of industrial equipment that can be found in machines in nearly every industry. These flexible rubber bellows are used to prevent the rod, piston, or other moving elements from frictional damage, contamination, and/or creating a safety issue. Given the importance of the part and demands […]
Airborne contaminates come in many forms and are found in many working environments. Because of this, there are many types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to protect people from these dangers. Some common classifications of these systems are CBRN, CCR, SCBA, and PAPR. The hoses that move air through these systems are available in […]
Although medical-grade tubing and hoses look similar to several other industrial hoses and tubes, they can differ in several ways to meet the specific requirements of medical device manufacturers and hospitals. Some tubes need to meet stringent FDA requirements but many applications do not. Choosing the tube or hose for a medical application is not […]
Flexible plastic tubing and hoses are commonly found in almost every major industry including automotive, power, medical, military and agriculture. Applications vary widely, but the most popular are gas and liquid transfer, material handling, blower, intake, and vacuum. Made using plastic compounds with varying degrees of flexibility and rigidity, they have revolutionized the ways liquid […]
Even as electric vehicles grow in popularity, the existing and new fuel-based vehicles are certainly not going to vanish from the roads anytime soon. They, as well as many industrial machines, require air intake hoses to properly function. Getting the right hose is critical for peak performance, and many times it can be hard to […]
Gas masks have been an unfortunate necessity since World War I, and they gained immense popularity and acceptance during World War II. Gas masks are usually worn on the face and comprise an exhalation valve, filters, and clear viewing area. These gas masks are made of specialized materials and are designed to protect the wearers […]
Sea and beaches have always fascinated adventure seekers, and most people like to play or swim in seawater or indulge in adventure sports on its surface. For more adventurist types, advancing technology has improved the functionality and lowered the cost of “silent diving,” another name for “closed circuit rebreathers,” or just “rebreathers” for short. A […]
Flexible rubber bellows are used in applications where protection or isolation of moving parts is required. These flexible rubber bellows are also known as expansion joints in some applications. Industrial rubber bellows are manufactured by using different materials and methods of manufacturing, so it is essential to know what performance metrics they need to achieve, […]
Bellows are protective covers made for industrial equipment, machinery and more. They help prevent contamination, spillage, corrosion, or any other damage. There are various types of industrial bellows designed for different industrial applications. They are made of different materials like rubber, plastic, and so on. Of these, rubber bellows have gained immense popularity over the […]
