Silicone Tubing Size Chart

Silicone tubes are one of the most popular products in the world. It may not seem like it, but we assure you, almost every industry in the world uses some kind of a rubber tube, including the ones made from silicone. Silicone rubber is one of the most often used materials to manufacture tubing. This is a synthetic rubber, which in many ways, makes it superior to some other kinds of materials that could be used to manufacture tubing. What you can expect from the silicone tubing we manufacture is excellent chemical stability, as well as remarkable heat and cold resistance. This makes our products suitable for many harsh environments, both hot, cold or even potentially hazardous. On top of all that, silicone tubing is known for being very durable, resistant and flexible, allowing you to use them in all kinds of scenarios and bend them into unorthodox shapes if needed.

But, what you also need to know is how to select the correct size tubing. We offer all of our clients to take a look at a silicone tubing size chart in order for them to fully understand what they are looking to buy. The first thing you’ll notice when you look at the silicone tubing size chart is the tubing size. This number indicates the width of the inner diameter, so, for instance, if you are looking at a 2” tubing size, that’s the inner diameter, not full size. Next up, you’ll get to see the outer diameter, which is the total size of the tube. We will also include wall thickness in our silicone tubing size chart, but you could easily calculate the wall thickness by simply subtracting the inside diameter from the outside one. It is crucial that you choose the right size so that you can get a snug fit and have your fluids or gas transported safely without any leaks whatsoever.
