Catalog Number - 48310-40

Improve fluid transfer performance with high‑purity PFA tubing designed for low‑pressure laboratory and analytical applications. This tubing provides excellent chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and flexibility, making it suitable for chromatography systems, solvent delivery lines, and general laboratory fluid handling where chemically inert flow paths are required.

48310-40 tubing is manufactured from PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy Alkane), a fluoropolymer that shares many of the advantages of PTFE while offering lower permeability, greater transparency, and improved performance at elevated temperatures and pressures. The natural translucent construction allows visual monitoring of fluid movement, helping users identify bubbles and verify flow conditions during operation.

With an internal diameter of 1.0 mm and an outer diameter of 1.6 mm, this tubing is ideal for low‑pressure solvent transfer, reagent delivery, and fluid routing applications where increased flow capacity may be desired. The tubing features a wall thickness of 0.30 mm and a pressure rating of 800 psi (55.2 bar) under appropriate operating conditions. For safe operation and maximum service life, temperatures should not exceed 260°C.

This tubing complies with the RoHS EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Amendment (EU) 2015/863 regarding the restriction of hazardous substances, supporting regulatory compliance in laboratory and industrial environments.
