AZA 1082 RUBBER TUBING

Description

Rubber tubing is a critical component in laboratory setups, used extensively for transferring gases, liquids, and other fluids between apparatus. Azalab’s lab flexible rubber tubing is engineered to provide long-lasting performance under demanding conditions involving temperature fluctuations, pressure changes, and chemical exposure.

This chemical-resistant tubing is made from premium-grade natural or synthetic rubber, depending on the application. It features excellent tensile strength, resilience, and stretchability while maintaining a non-reactive surface to prevent contamination or degradation of samples. Its smooth internal surface ensures unobstructed fluid flow, while the outer surface resists wear, cracking, and abrasion.

The tubing is designed to maintain structural integrity even when bent, twisted, or compressed — making it kink-resistant and ideal for dynamic lab environments. Its flexibility simplifies installation in tight lab setups, particularly for glassware connectors, condensers, vacuum pumps, water baths, and distillation units.

Azalab’s rubber tubing complies with ASTM D2000 standards, ensuring consistent quality across multiple parameters such as hardness, elongation, and temperature resistance. The tubing is available in various inner diameters ranging from 3 mm to 12 mm, with customizable wall thickness and roll lengths to suit specific lab requirements.

Typical use cases include:

• Connecting glassware in chemistry setups

• Gas flow regulation in combustion experiments

• Fluid drainage from filtration or washing setups

• Condenser water inlet/outlet in reflux reactions

• Vacuum sealing and low-pressure transport systems

Each roll of tubing is inspected for uniform wall thickness and consistent elasticity. This ensures tight sealing when used with glass or metal connectors, reducing the chance of leaks or pressure loss. The tubing also resists deformation over time, maintaining its original diameter and elasticity even after prolonged use.

Why choose Azalab’s lab rubber tubing?

• Highly elastic and flexible – simplifies routing

• Kink and collapse resistant – maintains flow integrity

• Chemical and heat resistant – supports a wide range of reactions

• Non-toxic and inert – safe for biological and analytical labs

• Reinforced durability – extended life span under lab stress

Rubber tubing can also serve non-chemical roles such as insulation for wire leads, cushioning in mechanical setups, and even as part of peristaltic pumps.

Refer to the ASTM D2000 Standard for technical performance details on rubber materials used in industrial and laboratory environments.

 FAQ:

Q1: Can this tubing handle organic solvents?
Yes, the rubber tubing is resistant to most common solvents. For aggressive solvents, verify compatibility based on tubing material type.

Q2: Is it autoclavable?
Only certain high-grade rubber tubing can withstand autoclaving. Please specify your sterilization needs before ordering.

Q3: What is the recommended use temperature?
The tubing operates safely between -20°C and +120°C. Extended use above this may degrade elasticity.

Q4: Can I use this tubing with peristaltic pumps?
Yes, but choose tubing specifically rated for mechanical flexing in pump applications.

Q5: Is it compatible with standard glassware fittings?
Absolutely. The tubing offers a snug fit over glass nozzles, barbs, and stopcocks commonly used in labware.
