CUSTOM ITEM: Tubing, PTFE, 0.020 inch (0.50 mm) ID, 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) OD, low pressure, black, Your custom continuous length tubing, priced per meter. ARE-Applied Research brand.
Additional Info:
47240-50-1C ARE‑Applied Research PTFE Tubing is a made‑to‑order, custom continuous length solution engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, LC‑MS, and general laboratory applications, offering higher flow capacity and uninterrupted tubing runs for optimized system performance.
Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE resin, this tubing contains no additives or plasticizers, except for trace pigment used solely for visual identification, ensuring low extractables and compatibility with sensitive analytical workflows.
Custom Continuous Length – Built to Your Specifications
Supplied in user‑defined continuous lengths
Priced per meter
Eliminates extra connections and unions
Reduces dead volume and potential leak points
✅ Ideal for OEM systems, custom builds, and optimized fluid routing
✅ Recommended for finalized system designs and validated applications
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 provides higher flow rates and reduced backpressure compared to smaller ID tubing
Black Pigmentation – Visual Line Identification
Black‑pigmented PTFE tubing
Supports:
Visual differentiation of fluid lines
Organized system layouts
Easier troubleshooting and maintenance
✅ 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)
✅ Suitable for long continuous tubing runs with stable performance
Virgin PTFE Construction – High Purity & Inertness
Manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE
No additives (except trace pigment)
Chemically inert and non‑reactive
✅ Minimizes contamination 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 extended-use laboratory conditions
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 custom routing and long runs
Durable under repeated laboratory use
Maintains clear visual identification in multi‑line systems
✅ Supports efficient installation and ongoing maintenance
Spool Supply for Longer Lengths
Lengths ≥ 15 meters supplied on a spool
Reduces kinking and simplifies handling
Supports clean installation for long runs
✅ Ideal for large-scale or continuous system configurations
Regulatory Compliance
Compliant with:
RoHS EU Directive 2011/65/EU
Amendment (EU) 2015/863
✅ Meets global environmental and safety standards
Available Standard Length Options
✅ Use pre-cut lengths if continuous tubing is not required:
Typical Applications
Custom HPLC mobile phase delivery systems
High‑flow solvent routing applications
Continuous solvent transfer (pre‑ and post‑pump)
LC‑MS fluid transfer lines
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
Ensure proper fittings for secure, leak‑free installation
