                        Chemfluor® Con-T Tubing


                        Chemfluor® Con-T Tubing

                        Chemfluor® Con-T™ Convoluted Tubing is a companion to Chemfluor® CT-Flex Corrugated FEP or PFA Tubing.  Con-T™ is helically convoluted PTFE with stainless steel reinforcing coil encircling the outer surfaces between the convolutions.

                        PTFE provides the highest available degree of chemical inertness, together with high-temperature operating capability, low wall friction and non-stick qualities. 

                        The convoluted form provides much more flexibility than is possible with smooth bore tubing, and the continuous spiral aids self-flushing.  The wire coil provides increased pressure and vacuum capability and aids in electrically grounding the system.

                        Barbed inserts are recommended for Con-T™ tubing.

                         

                        Product Features

                        • Vacuum service:  29.9 ambient in hg
                        • Maximum continuous service temperature: 350º F (177º C)/0 pressure
                        • Steel reinforcing coil encircling the outer surface between convolutions
                        • Wire coil provides increased pressure and vacuum capability
                        • Wire aids in electrically grounding the system

                                Chemfluor® 367 Tubing

                                Chemfluor® 367, a unique fluoropolymer, maintains fluid integrity, and in many ways outperforms tubing made from standard, even high-purity, PFA resin. The surface of Chemfluor® 367 is up to six times smoother than tubing made of standard and high-purity resin. This results in less cross-contamination, greater productivity yields and easier-to-clean systems. With its smooth surface, low extractables, excellent chemical resistance and outstanding mechanical properties, Chemflour® 367 can be used in virtually any application where maintaining high purity is critical.
