Collection: Tube/Pipe
In industrial and engineering contexts, the terms "tube" and "pipe" are often distinguished based on their structural characteristics, applications, and measurement standards.
PTFE tube typically refers to a thin-walled, flexible, or semi-flexible hollow structure with precise dimensional tolerances. Often used in applications requiring high precision, such as medical devices, laboratory equipment, or small-scale fluid transfer. May be designed for flexibility or to maintain shape under bending. Common in applications like electrical insulation, chemical resistance, or microfluidic systems. PTFE tubing for chromatography, catheter liners, or semiconductor gas lines.
PTFE pipe generally refers to a rigid, thick-walled structure designed for larger-scale industrial fluid or gas transport. Used in high-pressure systems, chemical processing, or industrial piping networks. Prioritizes structural integrity and durability over flexibility. Often complies with standardized piping dimensions (e.g., ANSI, DIN). PTFE pipes for corrosive chemical transfer, steam lines, or high-purity pharmaceutical processes.
