Medium-wall heat shrinkable tubing Ø2 to 620 mm, length 1 or 1.22 m

What position in the range for the medium-wall heat shrink tubing ?

The product range runs from the thin-wall heat shrink tubing ratio 1.2:1 to the tubing themoretractable to heavy wall 6:1 via the repair sleeve of medium thickness. But the medium-wall heat shrink tubing is not a repair sleeve. The position of this is just after the flexible sheaths and just before the rigid sheaths to heavy wall.

In this article, we will detail what a medium-wall heat shrink tubing.

Set the medium-wall heat shrink tubing you need !

The medium-wall heat shrink tubing is a black rigid tube. Its standard length is 1 meter or 1.22 meters. The retractability of the medium wall is 4:1. That is, under the effect of heat, the inner diameter will be divided by 4. By heating with a hot air gun, the tubing retracts to a quarter of the initial diameter with uniform shrinkage and thickening if you heat by making circular movements (heat when turning around the tubing).

For example, if we study more closely the medium-wall heat shrink tubing diameter 56/17, this means that the diameter 56 may decrease to a minimum diameter of 17 mm due to a heat source. 56 divided by 17 equals 3.3 and is therefore different from 4:1! In fact, the 4:1 ratio is theoretical. To validate the choice of medium-wall heat shrink tubing, you have to determine your need for the minimum initial diameter, as well as the minimum diameter to the restricted. At the end of this choice, you may have to choose between several references (say 2 to 4). If you want to obtain a maximum thickness to the minimum tightness, you will have to choose the reference with the largest initial diameter.

Note the particular case of tubing to medium wall red busbar available in reel, which we will detail in a next article.
