PTFE Project 2

Materials used:

  • Plate was manufactured from 100% virgin PTFE
  • Bushes were manufactured from modified TFM
  • Welding material included PFA and FEP

Highlights:

  • The component was of dimension: 460 mm dia. x 25 mm thk. and weighed around 18 Kgs. The component consisted of 11 bushes and 25 small blind bushes; an additional 11 bushes were used for filtration.
  • The component was machined on CNC and VMC machines keeping in mind the temperature and pressure requirements along with its chemical resistivity (which was strictly required to stay intact).
