Piping is designed for ultra-high-purity chemical transport
The Fluor-X high-purity fluoropolymer pipe (photo) is available in a wide range of standard and custom lengths and diameters. The Schedule 40 and 80 pipe is available in a choice of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) and ultrahigh-purity (UHP) resins. This high-purity pipe is manufactured from low-iron-extractable resins, and it offers excellent corrosion resistance for temperatures ranging from –100 to 400°F. The low extractable levels and chemically inert nature of the fluoropolymer piping make it ideal for high-purity acid and chemical-transport applications, especially in semiconductor wafer fabrication, says the company. — Ametek Fluropolymer Products, Wilmington, Del.
