PTFE Valves

Description

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) valves are commonly used in laboratory and industrial applications where chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, and low friction are required. PTFE is a thermoplastic polymer that is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents, and can withstand high temperatures up to 260°C.

PTFE valves can come in various forms, including ball valves, diaphragm valves, check valves, and needle valves. They are often used in applications where the medium being handled is corrosive or abrasive, or where precise control of flow is required.

Ball valves are a common type of PTFE valve used in laboratory applications. They consist of a ball with a hole through the center, which can be rotated to control the flow of the medium through the valve. PTFE ball valves are typically used in applications where the medium being handled is corrosive or abrasive, or where a high level of control over the flow rate is required.

Diaphragm valves are another type of PTFE valve commonly used in laboratory applications. They use a flexible diaphragm to control the flow of the medium through the valve. PTFE diaphragm valves are often used in applications where the medium being handled is highly corrosive or where the valve needs to be leak-free.

Check valves are used to ensure that the medium flows in only one direction through a system. PTFE check valves are often used in applications where the medium being handled is highly corrosive or where precise control of the flow direction is required.

Needle valves are used to precisely control the flow rate of a medium through a system. PTFE needle valves are commonly used in laboratory applications where precise control of the flow rate is required, such as in chromatography or gas sampling applications.
