- Maximum length up to 2 meters
- PTFE thickness from 5 mm up to 12 mm
- Carbon or Stainless Steel construction, lined by isostatic molding of PTFE
- Antistatic qualities available
Customer benefits:
- Customized items
- Multi inlet and outlet device
- Construction in one single piece
- Solution to short-dimension problems
Material expertise: PTFE isostatic molding
Mersen developed an original process of PTFE isostatic molding made directly inside the steel parts. This customized process allows multi inlet/outlet devices with customized orientation and short dimension between the nozzles. Lateral branches can also be proposed.
PTFE granular powder (as per ASTM D 4894) is molded at very high pressure and sintered inside the steel parts. Wall thickness is in the range of 5 to 12 mm, according to the pipe diameter and the service conditions. Both virgin and antistatic PTFE grades can be offered.
