Description
Nalgene™ 489 linear LDPE tubing is translucent semi-rigid hose made from linear low-density polyethylene for straightforward liquid-level observation in industrial and laboratory setups. This size offers a 9,5 mm inner diameter, 12,7 mm outer diameter and 1,6 mm wall thickness, giving a practical cross-section for higher flow than narrower PE lines while remaining easy to handle. Hardness is specified as Durometer 50 (D), with flexibility defined by a bend radius of eight times the outer diameter. The tubing comes as one roll approximately 33 m long from manufacturer Thermo Scientific and is positioned as an economical choice for general fluid transfer. It complies with FDA regulations for food use, is not autoclavable, and has a maximum operating temperature of 79 °C. Maximum pressure ratings are 152 psig at 23 °C and 76 psig at 63 °C. Translucent linear LDPE construction supports visual monitoring of fill levels in process, utility and food-contact-compatible installations where semi-rigid PE tubing is preferred.
This article is part of PVC, PTFE & other tubing, in Tubing, hoses & fittings.

Questions about Nalgene™ 489 Linear LDPE Tubing
What is this article?
Nalgene™ 489 Linear LDPE Tubing is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics 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.
