Aerospace – Heavy wall tubing products are more durable than their thinner-walled counterparts, allowing them to better endure the rigors of environments encountered in the aerospace industry. Depending on your choice of polymer for construction, heavy wall tubing can possess extremely high strength to protect cables and wires or for fluid transport at high internal pressures.

Automotive – Heavy wall tubing may be applied in a variety of areas for automotive uses where lubricity, chemical resistance to fuels, and strength are required; these applications could include brake lines, pneumatic actuators, or power steering hoses.

Energy – For the oil and gas industry, Zeus heavy wall tubing provides an excellent option for the protection of probes, cables, and other devices while offering polymer options with excellent flammability ratings.

Fiber Optics – Heavy wall tubing is a great option for protecting delicate fiber optics, particularly in harsh conditions.

Fluid Management – For this application, customers choose heavy wall tubing when they need the added burst pressure. This type of tubing lends itself to a variety of fluid management applications where strength is a primary concern.

Laboratory – Heavy wall tubing is highly suited to laboratory plumbing where high pressures are often encountered, such as with larger chromatography systems or for hoses connecting gas cylinders. Heavy wall tubing also helps prevent the tubing from collapsing for procedures requiring a vacuum to be applied.

Abrasion Resistance – The polymer resins we use to make heavy wall tubing are all extremely tough and provide excellent resistance to abrasion for protecting fragile wires and cables or other sensitive contents.

Increased Burst Pressure – For areas such as oil and gas exploration, which may require large volumes of fluid flow, or down to laboratory-size tubing, where very high pressures are common, Zeus heavy wall tubing can provide the added burst pressure you need for these applications. The ability to withstand higher burst pressures is also preferred for aerospace applications where tubing is exposed to external pressures below atmospheric.

Strength – Available in multiple resins, heavy wall tubing allows you to take advantage of the preferred characteristics of fluoropolymers while giving you the option for a significant upgrade in strength through increased wall thickness. The added wall thickness also increases the burst pressure of the tubing.
