LibertyCES has documented Fluoropolymer Tubing, Lined Pipe & Chemical Hose in Hydrocarbons/Fuels/Oils service, including petroleum products, gasoline and diesel fuel. Wetted materials to confirm: PTFE, FEP, PFA and ETFE. Documented models include Resistoflex PTFE-lined hose and US Hose Corp composite and metal hose. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.
Materials documented for this service
- PTFE
- FEP
- PFA
- ETFE (Saint-Gobain/Acutech — a fluoropolymer chemistry not captured from any other vendor in this project)
- PVDF
- Advanced PE (PE445584C)
- Flowline chart: PTFE and PFA rate E across essentially the entire hydrocarbon set; PVDF E almost everywhere but G on naphtha at 80°C; PP is weak (turpentine oil F at 40°C, cyclohexane C); PVC largely unrated above 40°C
Products cited for this service
Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Benzene resistance by temperature (Flowline chart) | PFA and PTFE both rated E (excellent) at 104°F; PVDF drops from G (good) at 104°F to F (fair) at 176°F | Manufacturer documentation on file |
| Natural gas / diesel / crude oil ratings (Flowline chart) | PTFE and PFA both rated E (excellent) across natural gas, diesel fuel, and crude oil at 104°F | Manufacturer documentation on file |
| Real BTEX + natural gas Chem Proline installs | Oil Field Fracking Water Treatment (BTEX in water, 2012) and BAE Dry Dock San Francisco (Natural Gas, 2012), both new Chem Proline installations | Asahi/America — Advanced PE Industrial Piping Systems (Chem Proline / Chem Prolok / Poly-Flo) |
| PT Coupling Maxi Dry fittings | Dry-break camlock-style fittings stocked for fuel/petroleum transfer service | Allied Fluid Products — Bay Area Fluid Handling & Sealing Distributor |
| Saint-Gobain/Acutech ETFE tubing | ETFE tubing chemistry stocked alongside FEP, PFA, PTFE, PVDF — a fluoropolymer grade not carried by the other tubing vendors in this line | Allied Fluid Products — Bay Area Fluid Handling & Sealing Distributor |
Hydrocarbon compatibility swings hard with temperature more than most chemistries — PVDF rated good for benzene at 104°F drops to fair by 176°F on the Flowline chart, exactly the kind of temperature-dependent failure a supplier selling "fluoropolymer tubing" by chemical name alone would miss.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
