Standard spiral wound gaskets typically cover a wide range of pressure ratings, commonly from Class 150 to Class 2500 according to ASME B16.20.

PTFE's exceptional chemical resistance and non-stick properties arise from its strong carbon-fluorine bonds and a tightly packed fluorine layer that shields the polymer chain, resulting in an inert, low-surface-energy material.

PTFE film is notoriously difficult to bond due to its low surface energy. Learn about specialized surface treatments and adhesive options that can make bonding possible.

PTFE fiber stands out among synthetic fibers for its exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature stability, low friction, and non-stick properties, though it generally has lower tensile strength and higher cost compared to more common options like nylon or polyester.

Smooth bore PTFE hose has a uniform inner wall for unrestricted flow and easy cleaning, while convoluted PTFE hose features a spiral or helical inner ridge structure that enhances flexibility and bend radius at the cost of slightly reduced flow characteristics.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) balls are commonly employed in food-grade and medical applications owing to their exceptional chemical inertness, non-stick surface, and compliance with FDA and USP Class VI standards. These properties ensure they do not contaminate products and can endure rigorous cleaning and sterilization cycles, making them safe for use in processing equipment, fluid transfer, and medical devices.

PTFE tube pressure ratings vary by size, wall thickness, and temperature. Maximum working pressure decreases as temperature rises. Typical ratings at 23°C can range from several hundred to over a thousand psi for smaller diameters, but always consult manufacturer specifications for exact values.
