1、 Characteristics of PFA tubes
Excellent high-temperature resistance: With a wide temperature range for long-term use, it can withstand temperatures from -80 ℃ to+260 ℃, and can even withstand temperatures as high as 300 ℃ in a short period of time.
Good chemical stability: It can withstand almost all strong acids, bases, oxidants, and various organic solvents, and does not adhere to any substance.
Low friction coefficient: Smooth inner surface, low fluid resistance, less prone to scaling, suitable for conveying various media.
Excellent electrical performance: low dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor, good insulation performance, making it an ideal insulation material for wires and cables.
High cleanliness: PFA tubes are non-toxic and odorless, meeting food and drug grade hygiene standards, and can be used in fields such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductors that require high cleanliness.
2、 The selection of PFA pipe wall thickness depends on factors
When customizing PFA pipes, you can specify the thickness of the pipes, that is, the wall thickness, according to the actual application requirements. The selection of pipe wall thickness usually depends on the following factors:
1. Pressure bearing: The fluid pressure requirements vary in different working environments, and the thicker the pipe wall, the stronger its ability to withstand internal pressure.
2. Design requirements for pipeline systems: such as whether they need to resist external mechanical stress, or whether the installation connection method has specific requirements for wall thickness.
3. Working temperature: In high-temperature environments, thicker wall thickness may be required to ensure structural stability and safety.
4. Fluid media: For media with strong corrosiveness or special cleanliness requirements, increasing wall thickness appropriately can improve the service life of pipelines.
3、 Information to be provided for customized PFA tube thickness
If you need to customize the wall thickness of PFA pipes, you generally need to contact the manufacturer to provide the following information:
-Requirements for inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD);
-The maximum work pressure that needs to be endured;
-Temperature range for use;
-Other special requirements, such as transparency, flame retardant grade, etc.
Trifluoride will provide you with a suitable wall thickness customization plan based on these conditions and provide corresponding quotations.
