(Elektrik, Elektronik) Heat shrink tubing (or commonly "heat shrink") is a tube which shrinks in diameter when heated. Its diameter and thickness can vary, and there are three main categories, thin wall, medium wall and thick wall tube. Heat shrink is used to insulate wires, connections, joints and terminals in Electrical Engineering. It can also be used to repair wires, bundle wires together, and to protect wires or small parts from minor abrasion

When referring to OCTG, tubing is a separate pipe used within the casing to conduct the oil or gas to the surface Depending on conditions and well life, tubing may have to be replaced during the operational life of a well Tungsten (W) Gray metal with high tensile strength It is ductile, malleable, and resistant to atmospheric elements and all acids except strong alkalies
