SMC Compressed Air Pipe Black Polyurethane 12 mm 100 m TU Series

This compressed Air pipe provides a flexible conduit for pneumatic systems in industrial settings, designed for conveying compressed Air where resilience and flexibility are required. It is manufactured from polyurethane, supplied in black and intended for continuous use across a range of ambient and system temperatures. The product is suited to assembly lines, control cabinets and factory-floor pneumatic distribution.

• Polyurethane construction offers high-flex performance for confined routing
• 8bar maximum working pressure supports moderate-pressure pneumatic circuits
• Temperature capability from -20 to 60°C ensures stable use in varied environments
• 8mm inside diameter enables consistent airflow for small-bore actuators
• 12mm outside diameter provides good wall strength while retaining flexibility
• Supplied in 100m length reduces joints and leak points on long runs

• Suitable for automated pick-and-place valve Air supply
• Ideal for feeding pneumatic cylinders in production cells
• Used for instrument Air lines in control panels
• Can be used for linking pneumatic tools on assembly benches
• Suitable for Air distribution in laboratory test rigs

The polyurethane composition gives enhanced abrasion resistance compared with softer elastomers, extending service life in sliding or vibrating installations.

Run lengths should avoid Sharp bends and abrasion points, secure the tubing at intervals to prevent excessive movement and minimise fittings to reduce potential leak sites.

Short-term exposure up to 60°C remains within the material’s operating range and will not compromise functionality provided it returns to normal temperatures.

Ensure downstream fittings and actuators are rated for operation at or above the 8bar maximum working pressure to maintain system integrity.
