Note 1: For 15 A, the A-type edge shape is standard. Please contact us if you have any questions about other types.
*The dimensions of the inner diameter standard tube are those of the A-type. If you have any questions about models that are 3 meters or more in length, please contact us.
*The burst pressure and minimum bending radius at room temperature are actual measured values and are not standard values.
*For use in applications that experience repeated expansion or bending, please contact us.
