Large Diameter Convoluted PTFE Tubing with Cuffs

Large Diameter Convoluted PTFE Tubing with Cuffs . With the ability to supply Tubing in sizes ranging from 1/4 " up to 4 " with cuffed ends the only limit is your design. Convoluted Teflon Tubing is ideal for fluid transfer applications because of its excellent chemical resistance and high working temperature. Convoluted PTFE is designed to be a self draining hose. Convoluted PTFE Tubing also works great as a heat exchange unit because of the turbulence created when fluid is traveling through the convolutions. Convoluted Tubing also has over twice the surface area when compared to smoothbore tubing for cooling.

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.

FEP & PFA Encapsulation

FEP coated thermocouples, probes and RTD’s. No matter what temperature you are working with, Teflon FEP tubing will keep you protected with properties that provide an almost impenetrable surface. Heat Shrinkable FEP Probe Covers are designed to have a working temperature range from the frigid cryogenic temps to a blistering 400 F.

Role of PFA Tubes in Industrial Operations

PFA Tubes
There are certain technical terms about which we are completely unknown, and surprisingly we have been using them in our day to day activities since our childhood. Let's for instance say, PFA Tubing system, nobody of us would have heard about this fluoropolymer tubing whereas the fact is that if someone shows you its picture you might feel ashamed in front of him/her due to your unawareness about that tubing system, because for you, it is just a tubing system that is installed in any of your high voltage electronic equipment installed at your home. Well, this is just an illustration about our knowledge towards technical terms.

Talking about PFA Tubing, in simple words it can be said that it is a type of teflon tube which smoothens the working of chemical industries, which are involved in production of hazardous chemical elements under extreme temperature and which require high intensity of clarity while transition of these elements. The most common type of teflon PFA tubes used in industries, is a Teflon PFA Tube which demonstrates the chemical properties that are required for smooth working of various industries. The common features of this tubing system are chemical resistance, heat resistance (capable of operating up-to extreme temperature extending to 500° F, smoothens working of machines that are used for production of gaseous and chemical elements and FDA compliant. This tubing system not only makes it easier of technicians to keep strict watch on smooth flow of chemicals and fluids across the tubing system but also helps in safeguarding the production activities which might face an accident due to excessive of heat and abrasion.

Teflon PFA Tubing


The industries where this type of tubing system constitutes an important source of operation are aeronautical, chemical, medicinal, automatic and cryogenic industries. Apart from this, PFA tubes are also used in electronic industries where high powered wires are used for production activities. Use of this teflon tubing makes smooth flow of electric power at high temperature from one to another place.

Corrugated FEP Tubing


Corrugated FEP Tubing is a high temperature, chemical resistant Fluoropolymer Product designed for fluid handling and analysis.

Being able to make sharp bends without decreasing the inside diameter of the tubing or reducing the flow rates of liquids makes corrugated tubing the ultimate resource for fluid transfer. Corrugated FEP Tubing is manufactured with cuffed ends that allow for the use of standard compression fitting. Using standard fittings allow for fast  connection during set up and make removal of the parts for cleaning a breeze.

Manufactured from FDA compliant resins corrugated tubing can be found in Dairy, Beverage, Biotech and Pharmaceutical Industries.

Tef Cap manufactures Corrugated FEP Tubing in lengths up to 10 feet and diameters as small as ¼".

Extruded PFA Tubing

PFA Tubing constitutes for an important operations in industries which have to perform their activities under extreme heating conditions. In simple words, these tubes can be defined as a fluoroplstic tubing that are capable of performing smoothly under high temperature and it is chemical resistant. Because of its twin benefits, the tubing system in mainly used in gaseous, chemical, aeronautics industries where liquid and gaseous elements are transferred from one point to another at high speed, generating high temperature and extreme heat. It would be interested to know that apart from being blessed with features like chemical and heat resistance, another interesting feature of this fluoropolymer tubing is its transparent nature, which facilitates the operators to keep strict eyes on the flow of different elements. As a general practice, the PFA Tubing is mainly used in semiconductor industry.
