Re: [AMMRL] Real Natural Rubber Tubing. TYGOTHANE IS BETTER

We use tygothane also known as Versilon c-210-1a. 7/16 id with 1/8 wall dia.
Total 11/16 dia.

It is much more low temp resistant than latex. It does not shatter or explode
or crack like latex does when it ages. We use a short 1ft piece of latex to
make connection to N2 supply dewar.

But the 7/16 of the tygothane makes a nice tight connection to both Oxford
and Bruker magnets.

We got this idea many years from someone on AMMRL. It is a much better product.

You can order it from Fischer Scientific, Cat.No. 14-178-5F. It is only 12
feet long and costs $120!

You can also buy 50ft black latex tubing with the same specs from VWR for $150.
Part.No. 62995-721. I haven't used this one though. I have used the amber
variety, but its wall thickness is only 3/32" instead of 1/8" and it feels
a little too flimsy. It would be nice to hear from someone who has used
the black one...

I am looking to buy 50 ft of Natural Rubber tubing. I bought a 50 ft roll 15
years ago that was super expensive from a glassblower supply place. All I
am seeing now is cheap latex called natural for much too cheap. I've tried
the cheap stuff and it cracks quickly. I can use silicone but prefer natural
rubber if I can get it. Anyone know where I can get 50 ft of 3/8 in ID and
1/8 in wall real natural rubber tubing?
