A PTFE Thermometer Casing with a 3 mm diameter and 250 mm length is a specialized protective sleeve used to shield thermometers or temperature probes from harsh chemical environments and physical breakage. It is commonly utilized in laboratories to contain glass and liquids in the event of a thermometer failure.
Key Features
- Dimensions: 3 mm Outer Diameter (O.D.) x 250 mm Length.
- Material: High-quality Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon.
- Chemical Resistance: Almost universal resistance to acids (including Hydrofluoric and Sulfuric), alkalis, organic solvents, and oxidizers.
-
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), often known by the brand name Teflon™, operates effectively from-200°C to +260°C (-328°F to +500°F)
Functional Benefits
- Safety: If a glass thermometer breaks inside the casing, the PTFE jacket is designed to contain both the glass shards and the internal liquid (such as mercury or spirit) for safe disposal.
- Non-Stick & Anti-Adhesive: Prevents chemical residues from sticking to the probe, making it easy to clean and maintain.
- Thermal & Electrical Insulation: PTFE acts as a high-quality insulator, protecting sensors in electrically active or highly thermally conductive environments.
- Weathering Resistance: Does not absorb moisture and is resistant to UV radiation, making it suitable for long-term exposure in various environments
Typical Applications
- Distillation & Reaction Monitoring: Protecting probes in boiling corrosive liquids during organic synthesis.
- Food & Pharma: Used in hygienic environments due to its non-contaminating, FDA-compliant properties.
- Hazardous Materials Handling: Ideal for use with reactive chemicals that would otherwise attack glass or metal sensors.
