Description
This high-performance clear PFA metric tubing is designed for demanding high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments. Manufactured from perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), it combines the outstanding chemical resistance of fluoropolymers with excellent clarity and flexibility, making it ideal for precision fluid handling where visual monitoring is important.
Available in a choice of outside/inside diameters from 2.6 mm up to 12 mm and supplied in convenient coil lengths from 2 m to 10 m, this tubing is well suited to laboratory setups, semiconductor processes, chemical dosing systems and other critical applications. Its smooth bore, resistance to contamination and stable performance at elevated temperatures make it a dependable choice for both industrial and scientific use.
Product Features
- Clear PFA construction for excellent chemical resistance and visual inspection of media.
- Metric sizing with outside/inside diameter options including 2.6 mm, 3 mm, 3.7 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm for precise system integration.
- Available coil lengths of 2 m, 2.2 m, 2.8 m, 3 m, 4 m, 6 m, 8 m and 10 m to suit both small assemblies and longer runs.
- Additional length/pack options of 5, 10, 15 and 20 to match project and stocking requirements.
- High temperature capability typical of PFA, suitable for sustained use in elevated temperature processes.
- Smooth internal bore to minimise pressure drop and reduce the risk of particulate build-up.
- Flexible yet dimensionally stable tubing for easy routing in confined or complex installations.
Key Features and Benefits
- Outstanding chemical resistance ensures compatibility with a wide range of acids, bases and solvents, reducing risk of degradation and contamination.
- High temperature tolerance allows safe use in hot fluid transfer and heating applications, helping maintain process reliability.
- Clear, translucent wall enables quick visual confirmation of flow, colour changes, air bubbles or contamination without disconnecting the line.
- Flexible PFA construction simplifies installation around equipment and within enclosures, reducing the need for complex fittings or joints.
- Low extractables and smooth bore design support cleaner operation, making the tubing suitable for sensitive laboratory and analytical systems.
- Range of metric sizes and coil lengths allows selection of the correct tubing for new builds, upgrades or maintenance without excessive waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PFA tubing suitable for use with strong acids and solvents?
Yes, PFA offers excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, including many strong acids, bases and solvents. For particularly specialised chemicals, you should confirm compatibility against the media and temperature before use.
Can the tubing withstand high temperatures in continuous operation?
The tubing is designed for high temperature applications and can typically operate at elevated temperatures associated with PFA materials. Always check the specific maximum service temperature for your chosen size and ensure that system pressure and safety factors are taken into account.
How do I choose the correct size and coil length for my installation?
Select the outside/inside diameter based on the required flow rate, connection type and system pressure, ensuring compatibility with your fittings. Measure or estimate the routing path and then choose the nearest suitable coil length from the available options, allowing a small margin for cutting and final adjustments.
