Tubing, PTFE, 0.020 inch (0.50 mm) ID, 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) OD, low pressure, black, 25 meter roll, ARE-Applied Research brand. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
47240-50-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, offering increased internal diameter for high‑flow performance along with extended length for continuous system routing.
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.
Supplied on a convenient 25 meter spool, this configuration is ideal for bulk lab use, OEM integration, and custom installations.
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 enables higher flow rates and reduced backpressure vs. smaller ID tubing
Black Pigmentation – Visual Line Identification
Black‑pigmented PTFE tubing
Supports:
Visual differentiation of fluid lines
Organized 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 extended tubing runs in higher‑flow applications
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
