Typical Applications
N S T Tubing is recommended for
applications requiring a tough, highly
flexible covering. It is particularly useful
for fabrication and repair of flexible
harnesses and wire bundles and for
covering hydraulic couplings. Its superior
mechanical properties and broad
operating temperature range make it an
ideal choice for jacketing cable harnesses
and custom-made cables that must
operate in severe environmental
c o n d i t i o n s .
Shrink Ratio
N S T Tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio. W h e n
freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to
50% of its as-supplied internal diameter.
The recovered wall thickness is
proportional to the degree of recovery.
