Design limits: The information provided here has been collected with great care on the basis of many years of experience. However, no guarantee can be provided for the data, because proper function can be ensured only if the particular conditions of each individual case are taken into consideration. The material properties are typical for the material class. Please see the relevant material data sheets. We always recommend that you have a prototype created and carry out tests. Our development department will be happy to assist you. Diagrams: The data in the diagrams are based on comparison...

Broad spectrum of applications for PTFE tubes PTFE is a highly popular fluoropolymer because of its exceptional chemical, thermal, and dielectric properties. Its almost universal chemical resistance and large working temperature range of -200°C to +260°C for continuous operation make it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications. Thanks to these properties, POLYTETRA-FLON™-PTFE tubes are increasingly used in the chemical, electrical, and mechanical industries, as well as in medical technology. Customized properties with PTFE compounds The use of modified PTFE types and PTFE compounds...

Chemical industry • For analysis or measuring devices in chromatography and laboratory technology as well as for sheathing for measurement sensors in chemical plant engineering • For transport of food products, oils, resins, and paints • For transport of aggressive media such as acids, bases, gases, and solvents Plant design, e.g., paint shops In paint spray shops where pressure-tested tubes are used because of the specific operating conditions. Electrical engineering • Insulation of high-voltage cables • Cladding of electrical heating elements, as a protective layer in electro-plating and...

POLYTETRAFLON™-PTFE tubes in standard dimensions Wall thickness Wall thickness Standard dimensions also available in our online shop: www.ek-kt.de/shop Technical details Tolerances for paste-extruded virginal PTFE tubes, in accordance with the pro-K guidelines. Internal Ø in mm

Calculating the operating pressure at room temperature Example: Internal 0 8 mm, wall 1 mm Value on burst pressure curve = 33 bar Safety factor = 3 = divide by 3 = 33:3 = 11 bar operating pressure RT (°C) Example: Internal0 8 mm, wall 1 mm at 100°C Operating pressure at RT = 11 bar Value on temperature curve = 0.58 Calculation: 11 barx 0.58 = 6.4 bar max. operating pressure at 100°C These calculated values are used as guide values and do not take into account any other contributing factors such as ambient pressure or temperature. The burst pressure may be further increased by means of...
