Catalog Number - 47240-40-C

47240-40-C 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 enhanced flow capacity, extended tubing length, 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.

Supplied on a convenient 25 meter spool, this configuration is ideal for high‑volume laboratories, OEM integration, and custom system builds.

Precision Dimensions – Optimized for Higher Flow

• 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 provides higher flow rates and reduced restriction compared to smaller ID tubing

Black Pigmentation – Visual Line Identification

• Black‑pigmented PTFE tubing

• Supports:

  • Clear identification of fluid lines

  • Organization of multi‑line systems

  • Simplified maintenance and troubleshooting

✅ Used for visual identification only (no functional or standardized color coding implied)

Low‑Pressure Chromatography Performance

• Designed for low‑pressure fluid paths, including:

  • Pre‑pump mobile phase delivery

  • Post‑detector waste lines

  • General solvent transfer

• Pressure Rating: 800 psi (55.2 bar)

✅ Ensures stable and reliable solvent handling over extended tubing runs

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 high‑sensitivity applications

Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance

• Resistant to:

  • Organic solvents

  • Acids and bases

  • Aqueous mobile phases

• Maximum Temperature: 260 °C
