RF-FEP & PFA

Fluoropolymer Tubing

 ** Values listed are typical and are meant only as a guide to aid in design. Field testing should be performed to find the actual values for your application.

Tubing Burst Pressure
An approximate value for bust pressure may be calculated using the following formulas.
(*NOTE: This formula is only valid for values of between 0°F and 500°F).
PB = S (OD/ID - 1)
S = X - YT

Where:

PB = Burst pressure, psi

S = Material strength, psi

OD = Outer diameter of tubing, in.

ID = Inner diameter of tubing, in.

X = Material constant:

X (FEP) = 1929

X (PFA) = 2278

Y = Material constant:

X (FEP) = 4.285

X (PFA) = 3.77

T = Maximum temperature of the fluid in tubing, °F*

FEP & PFA are designed for a wide range of corrosive-resistant applications covering temperature ranges from -275°F to 400°F.

The nonstick characteristics of fluoropolymer resins, combined with their low extractable levels and chemically inert nature make FEP & PFA ideal for automotive, electronics, food and beverage, medical, pharmaceutical and chemical processing applications.
