This flexible amber tubing has a 5/16" inside diameter, a 1/16" wall thickness, and is suitable for peristaltic pump applications. It is made of TPR (thermoplastic rubber) for elasticity and resistance to abrasion and impact. It has a Shore A Hardness rating of 64 for resistance to tear and puncture. It is autoclavable for sterilization and repeated use and has an operating temperature range of -60 to +275 degrees F. This tubing meets National Sanitation Foundation NSF-51 standards for food equipment material.

Plastic tubing is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round, rectangular, or square shape and a hollow center. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities. The clarity of plastic tubing may be transparent (clear), translucent (semi-clear), or opaque (solid), and the tubing's coloring may indicate suitable applications. Barbed fittings are used to connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Plastic tubing is used in a wide variety of industries, such as agriculture, automotive, laboratory, and medicine. Applications for plastic tubing include blood and fluid handling, peristaltic pumps, electrical and thermal insulation, analytical systems, and food and beverage handling, among others.
