# **PTFE-Lined Steel Pipes - Product Technical Specification**
## **1. Product Overview**
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)-lined steel pipes are composite pipes designed for extreme chemical resistance and high-temperature applications. They consist of an outer carbon steel or stainless steel shell with an inner liner made of PTFE or modified fluoropolymers (e.g., PFA, FEP). These pipes are widely used in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and corrosive fluid transportation.
### **Key Features:**
- **Corrosion Resistance:** Inert to nearly all chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents.
- **High-Temperature Tolerance:** Operating range from **-50°C to 260°C** (-58°F to 500°F).
- **Smooth Inner Surface:** Prevents scaling, fouling, and bacterial growth.
- **Mechanical Strength:** Steel shell provides structural integrity.
- **Customizable:** Available in various sizes, pressures, and liner materials.

## **2. Construction & Materials**
### **2.1 Outer Shell**
- **Material:** Carbon steel (ASTM A106/A53), stainless steel (ASTM A312 304/316), or alloy steel.
- **Standards:** Complies with ASME B36.10, DIN, EN, or other international norms.
- **Wall Thickness:** SCH 10 to SCH 160 (customizable).
### **2.2 Inner Liner**
- **PTFE (Virgin/Modified):**
- Virgin PTFE: Pure polytetrafluoroethylene for maximum chemical resistance.
- Reinforced PTFE: With glass fiber or carbon filler for improved mechanical properties.
- **Alternative Liners:**
- **PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy):** Enhanced flexibility and thermal stability.
- **FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene):** Transparent, lower melting point than PTFE.
- **Liner Thickness:** 2-6 mm (standard), customizable based on application.
### **2.3 Bonding Technology**
- **Adhesive Bonding:** PTFE is chemically etched and bonded to the steel shell.
- **Mechanical Locking:** Expansion or flaring techniques ensure liner stability under pressure.
