Metal Tubing | Metal tubing is constructed from many different metals, metal compounds, and alloys for flow lines for fluids and gases in pneumatic, hydraulic, process, medical and many other specialized applications. | ||
Plastic Tubing | Plastic tubing is constructed of many different plastic compounds for flow lines for fluids and gases in pneumatic, hydraulic, process, medical and many other specialized applications. | ||
Rubber / Silicone / Elastomer Tubing | Rubber silicone tubing is used for flow lines for fluids and gases in pneumatic, hydraulic, process, medical and many other specialized applications | ||
Glass Tubing | Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent. It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid. | ||
