The unique material used for this tubing provides low gas permeability. With the help of our pressure calculator, you can choose to either calculate the working pressure, the temperature or the required dimensions for your tubing depending on the other two parameters. This tool applies to hard polymer materials such as PTFE, FEP or PFA. Operating conditions such as pressure, temperature and the dimensions of the used tubing are parameters that act in mutual interdependence.
They require the least amount of maintenance with a life expectancy of up to 60 years. In short, it is a quite sustainable option when compared with other polymer tubes. We use operational excellence to deliver solutions that enable research, testing, production, and commercialization across the globe.
The first and foremost reason is that it is much less expensive than glass and only weighs one percent of the total weight of glass. VICI Metronics also offers custom flanging compatible with Valco flange fittings. You can select and customize services for peak efficiency, quality, and accelerated innovation. Avantor Services provides a wide range of specialized services and digital solutions to help you solve complex challenges.
IDEX Health & Science is the global authority in fluids and optics, bringing life to advanced optofluidic technologies with our products, people, and engineering expertise. Resistance to Stress Cracking – With its superior tensile strength and mechanical toughness, ETFE tubing is highly resistant to stress cracking. Mechanical Toughness –ETFE has superior hardness and strength compared to other common fluoropolymers such as PTFE, PFA, or FEP.
The major reason behind its mechanical toughness is its chemically balanced configuration which encompasses parts of fluorinated particles. Our portfolio is used in virtually every stage of the most important research, development and production activities in the industries we serve. Our global footprint enables us to serve more than 225,000 customer locations and gives us extensive access to research laboratories and scientists in more than 180 countries. For information visit, and find us on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. ETFE tubing lends itself very well to high pressure applications in much the same way as PEEK tubing. Coupled with its broad chemical resistance and regulatory compliance, ETFE tubing can be used effectively in highly sensitive instrumentation used for precise gas and liquid analysis in the life sciences sector.
