Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
FEP fluoropolymer tubing is a high-performance piping solution designed for applications requiring exceptional resistance to chemicals and environmental exposure. Its durable construction makes it ideal for use in chemical, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor industries where material integrity under harsh conditions is critical.
The tube is made from FEP (fluoropolymer) material, offering chemical resistance equivalent to PFA. It features excellent weather resistance and meets Japan Food Sanitation Act compliance standards, with the transparent option specifically approved for food-related applications.
FEP tubing is available in a range of configurations with standard connections suitable for integration into piping systems. The product comes in 12 sizes, all available in inch dimensions, allowing flexibility in system design and compatibility with existing equipment.
Operating performance is optimized across a wide temperature range from -65°C to 200°C, ensuring reliable operation under both cold and hot conditions without freezing. The maximum operating pressure at 20°C and 65% RH is 1.6MPa (condition *2), with lower pressure ratings of 1.0MPa or 0.7MPa depending on specific conditions (*2). A maximum vacuum of -100kPa is also supported.
Available in five color variations for easy identification and system tracking, the tubing supports clear visual differentiation between different fluid lines. Sizes range across a full spectrum of inch dimensions, with options tailored to various flow and pressure requirements.
The FEP tube integrates seamlessly into existing systems through standard fittings and connections. Its compatibility with common piping configurations ensures straightforward installation and integration without requiring specialized tools or modifications.
