Description
BOLA tubing with inner diameter 0,5 mm, outer diameter 1,6 mm and wall thickness 0,55 mm is laboratory hose manufactured from virgin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The tubing is translucent to milky white and delivers the chemical inertness and mechanical robustness associated with PTFE for demanding fluid paths. Dimensions of 0,5 mm inside, 1,6 mm outside (corresponding to 1/16 in outer size) and 0,55 mm wall give a sturdier wall section; the bend radius is 5 mm and the burst pressure is 308 bar. Supplied in a 1 m length with a net weight of 0,004 kg, it is suited to analytical instrumentation, laboratory transfer lines and installations where a thicker PTFE wall is preferred. These BOLA hoses from manufacturer Bohlender are made from virgin PTFE and present the familiar white to milky translucent appearance for straightforward visual monitoring of the lumen. Material choice and geometry support research and industrial laboratory applications that need small-bore, chemically resistant tubing with elevated pressure capability.

Questions about BOLA Tubing, Ø 0,5mm x Ø 1,6mm x t= 0,55mm virgin PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Tubing, Ø 0,5mm x Ø 1,6mm x t= 0,55mm virgin PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in PVC, PTFE & other tubing, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
PVC is the flexible everyday tube for water and mild aqueous liquids. PTFE is the stiff, almost inert tube for solvents. Other polymers sit between them. The bore, the wall and the chemical resistance are the specification, and the tube is cut to length.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
