Controlling the Electronic Disruptions Using FEP Probe Covers

FEP probe covers are the fluoropolymers which can be defined as covers that are used to act as a protective sheet on glass and metallic items, which act as probes while working under sensitive and corrosive working conditions. In other words, it can be said that FEP covers are a kind of seal that is applied on metals to get them protected from impact of chemical and heat elements. The encapsulation of FEP cover ensures long age of probes which is blessed with features like chemical resistant, heat resistant, electrical resistant and lubricity.

Probe Covers


The major properties of FEP probe covers may described as below:

  • The standard size of probe covers are available in different sizes (inches) including 1/16 “, 1/8 “, 3/16 “, 1/4 “, 3/8 “;
  • They are capable of working under extreme high temperature going high up-to 400°F;
  • They are available in FEP and PFA teflon tubing system;
  • The normal length of these covers falls in range from 6 inches to 150 inches.

To understand the working of FEP probe covers developed from FEP tubing system a person does not need to visit any industry or chemical plant. The working of these probe covers can be understood from different types of items that are used in our day to day activities. Let's for instance say, a thermometer or screw driver that is used for correcting small electric power issues at our home. While using a screw driver, you would have noticed its front side covered with some plastic item which is mainly applied to get the user protected from any type of electronic current which might take place when the metal of screw driver touches the cable.

Thermometer Coated with FEP Probes


Applications in which FEP probe covers are highly used are mentioned below:

  • Communication cables;
  • On different types of wires and cables that are used in electronic equipments manufacturing industries and telecommunication industries;
  • Mated on fabric and films, PTFE mated fabrics are used as belts for electrical insulators and cast films.
