Tygon Tubing Hardness Table

Tygon tubing is a go-to choice in microfluidics and laboratory applications, valued for its high quality, versatility, and diverse range of formulations. Whether you’re designing a system for peristaltic pumping, handling corrosive chemicals, or working within the strict standards of biopharmaceuticals, Tygon offers a specialized tubing solution for almost any requirement. Each formulation is designed for specific needs, making it critical to select the right one for your setup.

One key factor to consider when choosing the ideal Tygon tubing is hardness, which influences the tubing’s durability, flexibility, and resistance properties. To help guide your decision, we’ve compiled a hardness table of the most common Tygon formulations below, which includes benchmarks for comparison.

💡 For reference, silicone tubing generally has a hardness of about 54, offering a soft and highly flexible option, while PTFE tubing has a hardness around 95, providing maximum resistance for demanding applications. Understanding these differences can help you select the most compatible tubing for your system.

Take a look at the table below to see how different Tygon options stack up in terms of hardness, and find the best fit for your specific needs.
