FEP tubing (Fluoropolymer (FEP) Tubing) offers excellent chemical resistance and is chemically inert to most HPLC solvents, making it suitable for low-pressure applications and flow control monitoring.
FEP tubing is transparent and has a low coefficient of friction, making it commonly used for transporting samples that require visual inspection.
Typically, FEP tubing with an outer diameter of 1/16 inch can withstand pressures up to 117 bar (1,700 psi), while FEP tubing with an outer diameter of 1/8 inch can withstand pressures up to 70 bar (1,000 psi).
Key Features:
1. Cost-effective and can replace polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
2. Offers excellent UV transmittance, electrical properties, and mechanical properties superior to those of PTFE
3. Available in longer continuous tubing lengths, such as 100 meters.
4. Offers resistance to almost all chemicals and solvents
5. Suitable for applications including cable wiring, electrical insulation, water disinfection, environmental use, and food contact
6. Transparent and with a low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for the delivery of liquids within tubing;
7. Operating temperature range: -30°C to 150°C
8. Complies with FDA and RoHS standards
Applications:
1. Food and Beverage:
Due to their inert nature and high purity, FEP tubing is widely used in the food and beverage industry. It is ideal for conveying liquids and gases without imparting any taste, odor, or contaminants to the product. FEP tubing is commonly used in beverage filling systems, food processing equipment, and the dairy industry, where hygiene and product integrity are of the utmost importance.
2. Laboratory and Research Applications:
FEP tubing is widely used in laboratories and research facilities. Its excellent transparency, chemical resistance, and low absorption properties make it suitable for a variety of analytical and experimental procedures. FEP tubing is commonly used in laboratories for chromatography, sample transfer, gas analysis, and fluid handling, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
3. Oil and Gas
Connection Methods:
FEP tubing can be connected using a 1/4-28 UNF threaded fitting that complies with international standards, as shown in the figure below.
