RKG FLEXIBLE CORRUGATED TUBE
FOR AUTOMOTIVE GAS SYSTEMS
Mechanical strength: 400 N
Impact resistance: 2,0 kg/100mm
Temperature range (application, installation):
from -25°C to +135°C
Flexibility: flexible tube
Flammability: flammable
Material: polyethylene mod. (HDPE-mod.)
Application:
Designed to protect gas supply tubing in vehicles and reduce risk of leakage. Design guarantees flexibility whilst maintaining good resistance to abrasion. Size ranges specifically adapted to meet the requirements of gas installations commonly found in the automotive industry.
Characteristics of material:
Flammable, negligible gas and vapour permeability within a wide temperature range, soft, high elasticity and impact resistance, minimal deformability under strain, highly resistant to pressure and most chemical compounds.
