The wonder of PTFE tubing

Versatility, durability and many other ...ility adjectives can be used to describe PTFE tubing. 

Put simply, these are the strengths of PTFE tubing:

The tube between the pressure switch
and the compressor needs to withstand
a very high temperature
  1. Has a working temperature of between -60°C to 260°C, meaning it can be used in ovens, freezers and anything in between.
  2. It is of a food grade standard, which means it can be used in food and beverage production safely. It also means that you could ingest a piece without worrying about poisoning, although we strongly recommend you stick to a Mediterranean diet.
  3. It can be connected using standard push fit fittings, which means you can connect it to many modern automation processes.
  4. Allows almost all kinds of mediums to flow through it. Whether it is air, water, steam, oil, paint and the list goes on.
  5. It does not dissipate electrostatic charges when conveying non conducting fluids, meaning no risk of sparks in highly flammable areas.
  6. Working pressures vary according to the temperature and size, but sizes up to 12mm outside diamater have a working pressure of 13BAR (and, worth mentioning, a minimum burst pressure of 39BAR).
