A PTFE lined tee, also known as a Teflon-lined tee, is a specialized component designed for applications that require the handling of corrosive and high-purity fluids. The primary purpose of this tee is to facilitate the controlled distribution and diversion of such fluids within a pipeline, while ensuring a high level of chemical resistance and purity preservation.
Constructed with a robust metal body and a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) lining, these tees combine the structural integrity of metal with the exceptional non-stick and anti-corrosive properties of PTFE. This unique combination provides a durable and reliable solution for industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and more.
Chemical Resistance: PTFE is known for its outstanding resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents, making it an ideal choice for industries where fluid purity is paramount.
Non-Stick Properties: The non-stick surface of PTFE ensures that fluids pass through the tee without any adhesion or contamination, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and minimizing maintenance.
High Purity: PTFE-lined tees are crucial in applications where maintaining the purity of the fluid is essential, such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing or semiconductor production.
Temperature Tolerance: These tees can handle a broad temperature range, making them suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature processes.
Corrosion Resistance: The metal body of the tee provides structural strength and protection against mechanical stress and external environmental factors.
Versatility: PTFE-lined tees are adaptable to a variety of connection methods, including flanged, threaded, or welded ends, ensuring compatibility with existing systems.
