Tubing, PTFE, 0.010 inch (0.25 mm) ID, 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) OD, low pressure, black, 5 meter roll, ARE-Applied Research brand. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
47240-40 ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a high‑purity, low‑pressure fluid transfer solution engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, providing increased flow capacity and visual differentiation for organized fluid routing.
Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, except for trace pigment used for visual identification, ensuring minimal contamination risk and compatibility with sensitive analytical workflows.
Precision Dimensions – Increased Flow Capacity
Inner Diameter (ID): 0.010" (0.25 mm)
Outer Diameter (OD): 1/16" (1.6 mm)
Wall Thickness: 0.675 mm
Tolerance (ID & OD): ± 0.10 mm
✅ Larger ID allows higher flow rates and reduced restriction compared to smaller ID tubing
Black Pigmentation – Visual Line Identification
Black‑pigmented PTFE tubing
Enables:
Clear visual differentiation of fluid lines
Organization of multi‑line systems
Faster troubleshooting and maintenance
✅ Used for visual identification only (no functional or standardized color coding implied)
Low‑Pressure Chromatography Performance
Designed for low‑pressure applications, including:
Pre‑pump mobile phase delivery
Post‑detector waste lines
General solvent transfer
Pressure Rating: 800 psi (55.2 bar)
✅ Provides stable and reliable solvent handling
Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness
Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE
No additives (except trace pigment)
Chemically inert and non‑reactive
✅ Minimizes contamination risk in LC‑MS and trace‑level analyses
Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance
