Description
Latex tubing 8x2,0 mm is a flexible laboratory hose produced from latex with an inner diameter of 8 mm and an outer diameter of 12 mm. The 8x2,0 mm designation refers to the combination of bore size and wall thickness of 2,0 mm that results in the given outer diameter. This latex tubing is sold per metre and comes in a pack size of 10 m, permitting easy cutting to the lengths needed for laboratory and technical installations. Available from manufacturer IDL GmbH, the product belongs to the family of elastomer and rubber laboratory hoses. The latex material confers the flexibility expected of this hose type when connecting apparatus, glassware and instruments. Consistent inner and outer diameters enable straightforward coupling to common laboratory fittings. The tubing is intended for general fluid transfer and equipment interconnection in scientific workplaces that require a soft, elastic latex hose. Adherence to the specified 8 mm inner and 12 mm outer dimensions ensures compatibility with standard connectors. The per-metre supply format offers practical flexibility for selecting quantities suited to experimental, teaching or routine laboratory tasks involving latex tubing.

Questions about Latex tubing 8 x 2,0 mm, per meter
What is this article?
Latex tubing 8 x 2,0 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.
