PTFE Tri-Clamp Orifice Plate Gasket, White

Description

PTFE Tri-Clamp Gaskets are the material of choice where low temperature flexibility and hygienic seal memory are not required. We don't recommend using PTFE Gaskets where large temperature variations frequently occur because the affect on the PTFE's density makes joints more prone to leakage. With that said we recommend using high pressure clamps to help negate the affects of any temperature fluctuations. PTFE gaskets provide excellent heat resilience, second only to Tuf-SteelÂ, with an operating range from -100 deg F to 500 deg F. From a chemical standpoint PTFE has good stability, almost no extractables, a low absorption rate, and excellent resilience against process fluids. These Tri-Clamp Gaskets can remain in service for long periods of time in both water and steam applications. If a slight misalignment of the joint is observed it is recommended to instead use Rubber Fab's Tuf-Flex Gaskets consisting of a PTFE contact surface grafted to an EPDM core.PTFE Tri-Clamp Gasket Features:- Color Code: No Dot- -100 deg F to 500 deg F Temperature Range- Excellent heat resilience- Almost no extractables- Low absorption rate- Excellent resilience against process fluids- Good stability- Many standard drill bore sizes available- Self Draining- Reduce Flow- Balance Backflow- Equalize Backpressure- Prevent Dead Legs- Increase Line Pressure- Increase Fluid Velocity Review: Great customer service - Purchased four (4), but received two (2) that were damaged most likely in shipping. The vendor promptly replaced the damaged orifice plates and sent them next day air even. Thanks, you saved me on my experiment and great customer service!!
