Tubes and Hoses

Amirt Elastomers produces rubber tubes and hoses for a variety of applications.

Rubber tubes, like all other tubes, require connectors, hose barbs or other attachments in order to be connected to tools, instruments or more tubing. Both natural and synthetic rubber tubing are polymers with repeating molecules called monomers. Natural rubber is only made with isoprene monomers while artificial rubber can be made from many different kinds. The variations in materials and chemicals added to the mixture result in a range of characteristics and uses.

A rubber hose is a kind of hollow tube which is designed to carry fluids from one location to another. The shape of a hose is cylindrical. They are used in water or other liquid environments to carry air or other gases or they are used in air or other gaseous environments to carry liquids. Also known as pipe or tube, a hose is used for a wide variety of industrial purposes. The hoses are manufactured via an extrusion process. In general, hoses are used to carry fluids through fluid environments. This function of the hose sets the key requirements for the rubber in hoses. Silicone hoses are very popular.
