Catalog Number - 47240-50-3M

47240-50-3M ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a high‑purity, low‑pressure fluid transfer solution engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, delivering increased internal diameter for higher flow capacity along with visual line identification 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 extractables and compatibility with sensitive analytical workflows.

Precision Dimensions – High Flow Optimization

• Inner Diameter (ID): 0.020" (0.50 mm)

• Outer Diameter (OD): 1/16" (1.6 mm)

• Wall Thickness: 0.55 mm

• Tolerance (ID & OD): ± 0.10 mm

✅ Larger ID supports higher flow rates and reduced resistance compared to smaller ID tubing

Black Pigmentation – Visual Line Identification

• Black‑pigmented PTFE tubing

• Enables:

  • Visual differentiation of fluid lines

  • Organization of multi‑line systems

  • Easier 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 solvent waste lines

  • General solvent transfer

• Pressure Rating: 725 psi (49.9 bar)

✅ Ideal for higher flow applications with stable, consistent performance

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 analytical workflows

Broad Chemical & Thermal Resistance

• Resistant to:

  • Organic solvents

  • Acids and bases

  • Aqueous mobile phases

• Maximum Temperature: 260 °C

✅ Suitable for demanding and elevated‑temperature laboratory environments

Micro‑Porous Structure – Application Consideration

• PTFE tubing contains micropores allowing slight gas exchange

• Important when working with:

  • Degassed solvents

  • Oxygen‑sensitive workflows

✅ Consider alternative tubing when gas impermeability is critical

Flexible & Durable Design

• Flexible for extended routing and system integration

• Durable for repeated lab use

• Maintains clear line identification across complex setups

✅ Supports efficient installation and maintenance

Regulatory Compliance

• Compliant with:

  • RoHS EU Directive 2011/65/EU

  • Amendment (EU) 2015/863

✅ Meets global environmental and safety standards

Available Length Options

✅ Select the length that fits your application:

• 3 meter roll (this item)

• 1 meter roll

• 5 meter roll

• 10 meter roll

✅ Custom cut lengths available through Customer Service

Typical Applications

• HPLC mobile phase delivery (pre‑pump)

• High‑flow solvent routing

• Solvent waste systems

• Multi‑line fluid systems with visual differentiation

• OEM and instrument integration

Important Usage Notes

• Not intended for high‑pressure HPLC pump head connections

• Black pigmentation is for visual identification only

• Consider permeability when using degassed or oxygen‑sensitive solvents

• Use proper fittings for secure, leak‑free connections
