Supported Applications
The OMEGAFLEX™ TYGR Series consists of Natural Latex, Gum Rubber Tubing designed for fluid and gas transfer applications requiring superior flexibility and elasticity. The series is engineered to handle media within its specified temperature and pressure envelopes.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The TYGR series operates across a documented range with the following performance characteristics:
- Material Composition: Natural Latex, Gum Rubber
- Hardness: 35 ±5 Shore A
- Tensile Strength: 3500 PSI
- Elongation at Break: 750%
- Brittle Temperature: -57°C (-70°F)
- Operating Temperature Range: -54 to 82°C (-65 to 180°F)
Working pressure ratings vary by model and are specified at 70°F. Specific gravity is listed as 0.95.
Variants & Dimensions
The series offers a wide selection of inner diameters (ID), outer diameters (OD), wall thicknesses, and standard lengths to accommodate different flow requirements:
- Standard Lengths: Available in 50 ft or 100 ft coils.
- Diameter Range: Models range from an OD of 1/8 inch (ID 1/16 inch) up to an OD of 1 inch (ID 3/4 inch).
- Wall Thickness: Options include 1/32, 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 inches depending on the model.
Working pressure ratings for specific configurations range from 7 psi to 18 psi at 70°F. Weight per length varies by size; for example, a TYGR-1418-100 weighs 2.00 lbs/100 ft, while larger diameters such as the TYGR-134-50 weigh up to 17.00 lbs/100 ft.
Configuration Options
The series supports multiple configurations defined by model number codes that specify dimensions and length:
- Housing/Material: Natural Latex, Gum Rubber construction throughout the series.
- Sizing Options: Configurable OD/ID combinations including 1/8" x 1/16", 3/16" x 1/8", up to 1" x 3/4".
- Packaging Lengths: Standard lengths of 50 ft or 100 ft are available for most sizes; some larger diameters (e.g., TYGR-134) may be limited to specific length options based on the ordering table.
Key Product Differences
The primary distinction within the bundle is between the TYGR Series (Natural Latex, Gum Rubber) and the separate TYUS Series (Unreinforced Polyurethane Ester Tubing). The provided data focuses exclusively on the TYGR series specifications. Within the TYGR line, variations are strictly dimensional:
- Model Number Structure: Identifies OD, ID, and length (e.g., TYGR-1214-50 denotes a 1/2" OD, 1/4" ID tube in a 50 ft length).
- Pressure Ratings by Size: Smaller diameter tubes generally exhibit higher working pressure ratings (e.g., TYGR-716316 at 17 psi) compared to larger diameters (e.g., TYGR-1238 at 7 psi), as listed in the specification tables.
