What are the available sizes of Standard Metric FEP Tubing?
Sizes: 15mm to 39mm ID.
What are the different series types of Standard Metric FEP Tubing?
Series Type: Standard wall, Light wall, Thick wall.
What are some properties of FEP tubing?
Long continuous lengths, welding and re-moulding potential, high working temperature of +200°C, low working temperature of -200°C, non-stick characteristics, low friction surface, very high resistance to chemicals and solvents, very high electrical resistance, and bio-compatibility.
What are some applications that require FEP tubing?
Applications that require high electrical breakdown voltage, low dielectric constant, high chemical resistance, high UV transmission, excellent sterilization, and longevity of use.
What is FEP tubing a copolymer of?
FEP tubing is a copolymer of TFE, the basic fluoro-monomer building block.
How does FEP tubing differ from PTFE tubing?
FEP tubing possesses a working pressure that is 30% higher, transparent walls, a small increase in stiffness, and a use temperature that is 50 degrees F lower than PTFE tubing.
How can long continuous lengths of FEP tubing be produced?
Long continuous lengths of FEP tubing can be produced by extrusion.
Why is FEP tubing considered cost-effective?
FEP tubing is considered cost-effective because it is a more affordable alternative to PTFE.
What are some key properties of FEP tubing?
Cost-effective fluoropolymer and alternative to PTFE, excellent UV transmission, electrical, and better mechanical properties than PTFE, longer continuous tubing lengths available compared to PTFE, great for cabling, electrical insulation, water disinfection, environmental, and food contact applications, and preferred material where tubing clarity or organization is desired.
What is the use temperature of FEP tubing?
The use temperature of FEP tubing is 450 °F (~230 °C).
