Applications for Teflon hoses
Applications for Teflon hoses
(OP)
Hi all, I need to find out what fields in semiconductor engineering requires a hose of the following charateristics: Low bend radius, <3.3" for .500" ID>, dust free, inner hose is made of non-adhesive flourine risin and outer reinforcement of transparent soft PVC.
The manufacture of this hose told me that semiconductor businesses mainly chose such kind of hose. Can anyone give me some concrete examples of such application? TIA.

More info on the lines.
inner tube: Flourine Resin,<Di Fluorine Compound>, PTFE
cover: special thermoplastic elastomer
reinforcement: soft PVC
color: thorough transparency
-wider range chemical resistent and abrasion than Nylon resin.
-High Purity, food/drug handling capability.
-upto 40% lower bend radius than conventional PTFE hose with Stainless Steel Braided reinforcement.
-wide selection of I.D. sizes and fittings
By all due respect, this is not a commercial post. I need some opinion on the usefulness of such hose. I was thinking due to the high purity, anti-chemical/abrasion, and low bend radius, it may help in a more efficient design of semi-conductors since lower bend radius = lesser space required.

I hope you had a great holiday vacation. I want to provide more detail description of the hose so you and other knowledged ones can add more opinion.
Here is the web page to the decription of the hose:

Since it's in metric, here is quick note
1 MPa = 145.007 psi
and I use http://www.onlineconversion.com for quick conversion of other specs.
Thanks for reading. If this hose may help in design of a certain specific equipment you know, please acknowledge me.
