Standard Specification for PTFE Tubing, Miniature Beading and Spiral Cut Tubing

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers PTFE tubing, miniature beading and spiral cut tubing-manufactured from PTFE resin produced from dispersion specified in Specification D4895.

Note 1: PTFE tube and rod manufactured from resin specified in Specification D4894 are covered in Specification D1710.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 The following hazard caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 8, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 As PTFE resin produced from dispersion is not a true thermoplastic material, any reuse for the specification referenced above is impossible. However, markets do exist for non-virgin PTFE as additives and fillers.

Note 2: This standard and ISO 13000-1/-2 address some of the same subject matter, but differ in technical content.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International StandardDetails, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
