Description
Latex tubing 12x17 mm per metre is a flexible laboratory hose manufactured from latex with a defined inner diameter of 12 mm and outer diameter of 17 mm. The product is offered for sale by the metre and supplied in a practical pack quantity of 10 m, enabling users to cut precise lengths for individual experimental or process setups. This latex construction provides the elasticity and resilience typically required for fluid and gas transfer lines in research environments. Dimensions of 12 mm internal bore and 17 mm external diameter ensure compatibility with common laboratory connectors and fittings while maintaining adequate wall strength for routine handling. Available from manufacturer IDL GmbH, the tubing supports a wide range of general-purpose connections in analytical, preparative and educational laboratories. Its soft, pliable character facilitates easy routing around apparatus and glassware without kinking under normal conditions. The per-metre supply format within the 10 m unit allows economical stocking and minimises waste when only short sections are needed. Classified among rubber and specialty laboratory hoses, this latex tubing meets everyday requirements for temporary or semi-permanent fluid paths where natural rubber properties are preferred. Consistent dimensional accuracy aids reliable sealing at joints and reduces the risk of leakage during standard operations.

Questions about Latex tubing 12 x 17 mm, per meter
What is this article?
Latex tubing 12 x 17 mm, per meter is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IDL GmbH for laboratory use. It sits in PVC, PTFE & other tubing, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
PVC is the flexible everyday tube for water and mild aqueous liquids. PTFE is the stiff, almost inert tube for solvents. Other polymers sit between them. The bore, the wall and the chemical resistance are the specification, and the tube is cut to length.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
