Review its own model data rather than transferring a PA6 or PU specification to the same nominal size. ### Key features - #### Virgin material Extruded from selected virgin material; no recycled or reprocessed material is added (data sheet). - #### Low moisture absorption Water and moisture absorption of approx. 0.3%–0.7% and good dimensional stability (data sheet). - #### Colors and marking Milky white, dark blue, black and red; custom colors available. Brand logos, model identification and continuous meter markings can be customized. - #### Temperature range -40°C to +120°C - #### Working pressure 10 bar (145 psi) – 29 bar (426 psi) at 23°C, depending on the model (data sheet). Burst pressure is not **working pressure**. - #### Sizes 10 listed models, outside diameter 4–16 mm. Inch sizes are listed where the data sheet gives them. ![Tubing extrusion and coiling line in the Hefei factory]() ### How the tubing is made and checked Tubing is produced on extrusion and coiling lines and checked with dimensional, pressure-hold, burst-pressure and tensile equipment listed in the company inventory.

Identify the nylon 12 material designation and model, tube ID and OD, tolerances, fittings and installation requirements. Request the applicable pressure and temperature conditions and any project-specific documents. Match each document to the ordered model rather than relying on the material name alone. Is a PA12 product name sufficient for a vehicle project? No. Specify the actual duty, drawing, interfaces and required standards. Each vehicle use is reviewed individually. What should I compare between PA12 and PA6 options? Compare each selected model against the same drawing, fitting, operating and acceptance requirements. Do not compare source pressure numbers without matching their conditions. What are the specifications of PA12 nylon tubing? The 14 listed models cover metric sizes from 2.5 x 4 mm to 12 x 16 mm and inch sizes from 1/8" to 1/2", supplied in 100 m or 200 m rolls with a tolerance of ±0.10 mm. **Working pressure** at 23°C runs from 10 to 29 bar (145 to 426 psi) depending on the model, and the supplied data sheet gives a pneumatic operating range of -40°C to +120°C. Standard colors are milky white, dark blue, black and red, with custom colors available. Check the exact model in the specifications table. How does PA12 differ from PA6 in the supplied data sheets? PA12 shows lower equilibrium moisture absorption (approx. 0.3%-0.7% versus approx. 2.5%-3.5% for PA6) and lower hardness (65 ± 5 versus 75 ± 5 Shore D). The pneumatic operating range is -40°C to +120°C for PA12 and -40°C to +130°C for PA6. Pressure ratings differ by model and size, so compare the exact models in the tables before substituting one for the other. Is PA12 the same as nylon 12, and is it the same as PA11? PA12 is the polyamide designation for nylon 12. PA11 (nylon 11) is a different polymer, and PA6 is different again. This page covers PA12 models only, so keep the designations separate when you compare dimensions, pressure ratings and fittings. ## Let’s Discuss Your Tubing Requirements.
