At Oxidation Technologies, we offer high-quality <strong>FEP tubing (1\/4&#8243; ID x 3\/8&#8243; OD)<\/strong> that delivers exceptional performance, durability, and chemical resistance. Its transparent design, flexibility, and high tolerance to extreme temperatures make it the ideal solution for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why FEP Tubing is the Best Choice for Ozone Gas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FEP tubing is a copolymer of TFE (tetrafluoroethylene), modified to enhance its strength and performance. Compared to PTFE tubing, FEP tubing offers several key advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>30% higher working pressure<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transparent walls<\/strong> for easy monitoring of flow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Higher stiffness<\/strong> for better structural integrity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lower use temperature<\/strong> (by 50\u00b0F) while maintaining high chemical resistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These properties make FEP tubing particularly well-suited for ozone gas transport, as it resists breakdown from ozone exposure and maintains its integrity under harsh conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flexible and Easy to Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our FEP tubing is highly flexible and can be easily cut to size or shaped to fit specific applications. Unlike other fluoropolymer tubing, FEP can be produced in long continuous lengths through extrusion, making it more cost-effective and easier to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We keep FEP tubing in stock for our own use when building ozone systems, and we also offer it for sale. Tubing is available in any length you require \u2014 simply contact us if you need specific coil lengths or spools, and we\u2019ll do our best to meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Properties and Specifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Property<\/th><th>Value<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Inside Diameter<\/strong><\/td><td>0.250 inch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Outside Diameter<\/strong><\/td><td>0.375 inch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Wall Thickness<\/strong><\/td><td>0.062 inch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Wall Tolerance<\/strong><\/td><td>+\/- 0.005 inch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>OD Tolerance<\/strong><\/td><td>+\/- 0.008 inch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Burst Pressure (75\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/td><td>840 PSI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tensile Strength (73\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/td><td>2100\u20133050 PSI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Elongation (73\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/td><td>240\u2013300%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Yield Strength<\/strong><\/td><td>1740 PSI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Melting Point<\/strong><\/td><td>487\u2013540\u00b0F<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Thermal Conductivity<\/strong><\/td><td>1.45 Btu\u00b7in\/h\u00b7ft\u00b2\u00b7\u00b0F<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Service Temperature<\/strong><\/td><td>-418 to 403\u00b0F<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>O2 Permeability<\/strong><\/td><td>637 Ng cm m\u207b\u00b2<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Advantages of FEP Tubing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost-Effective Alternative to PTFE<\/strong> \u2013 FEP tubing offers similar performance to PTFE at a lower cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Excellent UV Transmission<\/strong> \u2013 High transparency and UV resistance make it ideal for environmental and sterilization applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Superior Mechanical Properties<\/strong> \u2013 Higher working pressure and tensile strength ensure better durability and performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Longer Continuous Lengths<\/strong> \u2013 FEP tubing can be produced in longer lengths through extrusion, simplifying installation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Broad Temperature Range<\/strong> \u2013 With a service temperature range from <strong>-418\u00b0F to 403\u00b0F<\/strong>, FEP tubing performs well in extreme environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clear Tubing for Easy Monitoring<\/strong> \u2013 Transparency allows you to monitor flow and detect any issues quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Compatible with Kynar Fittings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For best results, we recommend using FEP tubing with <strong>Kynar fittings<\/strong>.
