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.
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.
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.
