Unlike thin wall silicone tubing which are primarily used in medicine, heavy wall rubber tubing have a completely different purpose. Whether natural rubber or synthetic rubber is used for production, heavy wall rubber tubing is very durable. Heavy wall rubber tubing, which you will find on the market under the names rubber hose and rubber piping, is most often used in hydraulics and as pneumatic equipment, so it is an indispensable part of the aviation industry, space industry, auto industry and other similar industries. Of course, it can be used in home use and in various other places, but heavy industries are certainly the primary users of heavy wall rubber tubing.
Since it is resilient, tear resistant, abrasion resistant you can count on heavy wall rubber tubing not to be damaged even in the most hostile environments. High and low temperatures will also not damage it or contribute to rapid deterioration or loss of primary functions. Heavy wall rubber tubing made of synthetic rubber is also used in laboratories, as well as at gas stations, oil platforms and similar places due to its excellent chemical resistance and flame retardancy, which is crucial for contact with chemicals and gasoline.
Pressure rating is maximum pressures the heavy wall rubber tubing is designed to withstand and there also you can count on great performance. As for the thickness of the wall, the thickness can be 5 mm, and even more, over 6 mm, which is a huge difference compared to thin wall silicone tubing, because thin wall silicone tubing are as thin as 0.05 mm. If you are going to use heavy wall rubber tubing for a special purpose, so you need a specific wall thickness or a certain type of rubber like Polyurethane, Nitrile rubber or some other type, you can contact the manufacturer and order a custom product.
