Enrgtech offers a wide variety of high-quality hose pipes, plastic, and PVC pipes, hose reels, process, flexible tubes, etc., at fabulous prices. We supply a wide range of hoses, pipes, and tubing. Stainless steel, PVC Pipes, and tubes.
Tubes
Tubes are more suitable for structural applications. Moreover, they are not required to have the standard cylindrical shapes, but they can also come in rectangles and be customized.
The measurement of a tube is done in three dimensions, namely outside diameters, inside diameter, and wall thickness. One similarity of tubes with pipes is that they are made from similar materials and the manufacturing process is also similar. For example, it is easy to find stainless steel pipes and flexible tubes.
Pipes
Pipes are more for structural; requirements and transport gas or liquid in the pipe systems. Pipes usually have to follow some standards set by an organization in certain countries like the ASME. The standards usually state the different manufacturing parameters that the pipe needs to follow.
The measurement of plastic pipes and others is more complicated than tubes. The outside diameter and wall thickness typically measure tubes. The pipes are measured more with the nominal pipe diameter and wall thickness. At the same time, nominal diameter is usually a measurement of the pipes in non-specific terms.
Hoses
Hoses are versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications in varying situations. Hoses also follow a wide range of standards. The materials used in manufacturing hoses are also different than the tubes and pipes. Hoses are mostly made out of non-metallic materials like nylon, rubber, etc., and are highly flexible. The most common situations in which hoses can be used include:
- Air
- Water
- Hydraulic fluids
- Other liquid
In terms of size, hoses are measured through the inside diameter. Other than that, a dash system is also used.
