Brochure
Note 1) The minimum bending radius means the value measured by the method shown in the figure at the right at the temperature of 20°C when the tube is bent. The minimum
bending radius assumes static piping.
If the tube is used in a moving part, provide extra length to the tube. Check the bending radius recommended by the flexible
protection tube manufacturer to assure that the tube is used in the flexible protection tube.
Note 2) Not clear, but opaque due to material.

As this test was an acceleration test, the tube bending radius was out of the flexible
protection tube manufacturer's allowable range.
When the flexible protection tube is used in the actual application, check the manu-
facturer’s catalogue specifications.
The values in the table above are representative values, and not guaranteed.
