Feature: The blue polyurethane construction delivers superior flexibility and mechanical strength, enabling tight routing without kinking or fatigue. Business Impact: Fewer replacements and reduced downtime by maintaining stable airflow under vibration. Application: Ideal for automation lines, pick-and-place stations, and anywhere space is constrained yet airflow reliability is critical. Feature: Outer diameter 16 mm and inner diameter 11 mm match common pneumatic fittings and manifolds. Business Impact: Streamlined hardware integration reduces assembly time and risk of leaks at joints. Application: Suited for standard 16 mm ID/OD systems across Norgren-compatible and many third-party components. Feature: Wide operating temperature range from -40 to 60 °C (-40 to 140 °F) and pressure up to 12 bar. Business Impact: Maintains consistent flow and performance in harsh factory environments, minimizing maintenance cycles. Application: Automotive, general automation, and packaging lines where environmental conditions vary. Feature: Minimum bend radius of 40 mm supports compact routing around equipment and enclosures. Business Impact: Enables designers to route longer runs without compromising airflow or triggering kinks. Application: Multi-axis robots and compact manifold layouts where space is at a premium. Feature: 25 m length reduces joins and inventory complexity, improving install speed and traceability. Business Impact: Fewer fittings translates into lower leak potential and material costs over time. Application: Long runs along conveyors, production lines, and centralized air stations. Feature: Distinct blue color aids rapid identification in complex pneumatic systems and color-coded schemes. Business Impact: Speeds fault isolation and maintenance planning, cutting downtime during line changes. Application: Plant-wide installations with mixed tubing types and multiple suppliers.

FAQs
To install PU2-0516025C, cut the tube square, deburr the edges, and align with a compatible 16 mm OD fitting. Use appropriate clamps or push-to-connect accessories, ensuring the 11 mm ID matches the fitting’s nominal bore. Maintain a clean routing path and avoid excessive bending near joints. The 25 m spool reduces the need for frequent splices, lowering leak points and installation time while improving traceability on the line.
The tube supports -40 to 60 °C (-40 to 140 °F) and operates from -0.95 to 12 bar (-14 to 174 psi). These ranges ensure stable airflow under typical factory conditions and pressure pulses in pneumatic systems. For peak performance, confirm compatibility with your system’s supply pressure, and consider using supported fittings and clamps to minimize pressure losses at connections.
Yes, up to the bend radius of 40 mm the tubing can be routed through tight spaces common in robotic cells and automation equipment. Its blue polyurethane composition offers flexible, fatigue-resistant performance suitable for moderate vibration. For extreme vibration, supplement with proper mounting, anti-kink supports, and compatible fittings to maintain airflow and prevent movement at joints.
The provided data does not specify CE, IP, or SIL certifications. For certification details, refer to the datasheet or contact Norgren support. Always verify regulatory compliance for your application and jurisdiction, particularly in safety-critical environments, and ensure the tubing is installed as part of a compliant pneumatic circuit.
The 25 m length reduces the number of joints, which lowers potential leak points and streamlines inventory. The blue color aids quick identification, speeding maintenance and fault isolation. Durable polyurethane offers reliable airflow over time, reducing replacement costs and downtime in ongoing production lines, while standard 16/11 sizing keeps part compatibility predictable and procurement straightforward.
