PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) lined steel piping combines the strength of steel with the chemical resistance of PTFE, making it ideal for handling corrosive fluids and high-purity applications.
Key Benefits:
- Exceptional Chemical Resistance: PTFE is virtually inert to most chemicals, acids, and solvents.
- Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 230°C (-4°F to 446°F).
- High Purity: Prevents contamination of process fluids.
- Durability: Steel casing provides structural strength and pressure resistance.
- Low Friction: Minimizes pressure drop and prevents sticking.
Applications:
- Chemical Processing
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
- Food and Beverage Industry
- Semiconductor Manufacturing
- Wastewater Treatment
When selecting PTFE lined steel piping, consider factors such as operating temperature, pressure requirements, chemical compatibility, and pipe size. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for ensuring long-term performance and safety. Shanxi Luokaiwei Steel Company offers comprehensive solutions for various industrial applications.
Material Specifications:
- Lining Material: Virgin PTFE, modified PTFE, or antistatic PTFE.
- Steel Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316).
- Flange Standards: ANSI, DIN, JIS.
Ensure that the selected piping meets relevant industry standards and regulations. Consider the expertise and reputation of the supplier. Shanxi Luokaiwei Steel Company is committed to providing high-quality PTFE lined steel piping solutions.
For specialized applications, consult with manufacturers like Shanxi Luokaiwei Steel Company to determine the most suitable PTFE lining and steel material combination. Proper handling and storage are important to prevent damage to the PTFE lining during transportation and installation.
The cost-effectiveness of PTFE lined steel piping stems from its extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements compared to alternative materials in corrosive environments. Shanxi Luokaiwei Steel Company can provide guidance on selecting the most economical solution for your specific needs.
Considerations should also be made for the potential of permeation, even though PTFE is highly resistant. This is especially important in high-vacuum or highly sensitive applications. It’s important to work with reputable suppliers, such as Shanxi Luokaiwei Steel Company, who can offer specialized grades and configurations to minimize this effect.
