What products does Advanced Fluro Pvt Ltd (AFTubes) manufacture?

Advanced Fluro Pvt Ltd (AFTubes) manufactures PTFE hose assemblies, PTFE tubing, FEP tubes, and PFA tubes. The range includes SS304 braided PTFE hose to SAE 100R14, corrugated PTFE hose, conductive PTFE hose, natural PTFE tube, coloured PTFE tube, antistatic PTFE tube, abrasion-resistant PTFE tube, and corrugated PTFE tube. All products are made at the company's ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Vasai East, Mumbai, India.

Is Advanced Fluro / AFTubes ISO certified?

Yes. Advanced Fluro Private Limited holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for the manufacture of fluoropolymer products including PTFE hose, PTFE tube, FEP tube, and PFA tube. The certification covers the complete manufacturing process at the Vasai East, Mumbai facility. The company has been producing PTFE products since its founding in 2011.

What is the maximum pressure rating of AFTubes PTFE hose?

The SS304 braided PTFE hose from Advanced Fluro is rated up to 207 bar (approximately 3,000 PSI) at the smallest size (3.2 mm ID, SAE dash -3) to SAE 100R14 Type A. Pressure rating decreases with increasing inner diameter. The smallest SAE -3 size has a burst pressure of 827 bar. Corrugated PTFE hose and fabric-braided variants have lower working pressures suited to flexible low-pressure installations.

What temperature range does PTFE tubing handle?

PTFE tubing manufactured by Advanced Fluro operates continuously from −200°C to +260°C (−328°F to +500°F). This range covers cryogenic service, steam lines up to 260°C, and high-temperature chemical processes where conventional polymers fail. FEP tubing is rated to +200°C and PFA tubing to +260°C, both with greater flexibility than standard PTFE.

Which industries use Advanced Fluro PTFE products?

Advanced Fluro's PTFE hose and tubing products serve chemical process plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing (FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 compliant grades), oil and gas (chemical injection and instrumentation), automotive (brake hose, fuel transfer), power generation, semiconductor fabrication (SEMI F57 grade PFA tubing), and electrical instrumentation industries across India and international markets including the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Where is Advanced Fluro located and how can I contact them?

Advanced Fluro Private Limited is located at No. 2 Arunoday Industrial Estate, Sativali Road, Gokhivare, Vasai East, Maharashtra 401208, India — approximately 50 km north of Mumbai. Phone: +91 96990 55600. Email: contact@aftubes.com. Website: https://aftubes.com/. The facility handles ram extrusion, paste extrusion, and hose assembly under ISO 9001:2015 quality management.

PTFE Tube Size Chart & Selection Guide 2025

Selecting the correct PTFE tube size is critical for ensuring proper fit, achieving required flow rates, and maintaining system performance. This guide covers the key dimensional parameters, standard size ranges, wall thickness categories, and the application-specific size ranges most frequently specified across industries.

Understanding PTFE Tube Dimensions

Three measurements define a PTFE tube. Inside Diameter (ID) is the internal measurement controlling flow capacity and component compatibility. Outside Diameter (OD) determines fitting compatibility and space requirements. Wall Thickness (WT) is calculated as (OD – ID) ÷ 2, and directly governs pressure rating and flexibility. Always specify which dimension is critical for your fitting system: OD for compression fittings, ID for bore flow calculations.

Wall Thickness Categories

Category	Wall Thickness	Typical Applications
Thin Wall	0.15–0.5mm	Medical devices, wire insulation, miniature instruments
Standard Wall	0.5–1.5mm	Laboratory equipment, analytical instruments, chemical transfer
Heavy Wall	1.5–3.0mm+	High-pressure hydraulics, mechanical components, bushings

Standard Metric Size Reference

OD (mm)	ID (mm)	Wall (mm)	OD Tolerance
1.0	0.5	0.25	±0.05
2.0	1.0	0.50	±0.08
3.0	2.0	0.50	±0.08
4.0	3.0	0.50	±0.10
6.0	4.0	1.00	±0.10
8.0	6.0	1.00	±0.12
10.0	8.0	1.00	±0.15
12.0	10.0	1.00	±0.15
16.0	13.0	1.50	±0.20
20.0	17.0	1.50	±0.20
25.0	22.0	1.50	±0.25

Application Size Guidelines

Industry / Application	Typical ID Range
Laboratory and analytical equipment	0.5–4mm ID
Medical devices	0.3–6mm ID
Pharmaceutical fluid transfer	4–16mm ID
Chemical processing	4–25mm ID
Automotive and aerospace	3–12mm ID
Wire and cable insulation	By wire gauge (AWG/SWG)

Ordering Tip

For compression fittings: specify OD as critical, allow ID to float within standard tolerance. For bore-flow applications: specify ID as critical, allow OD to float. For pressure-critical applications: specify both dimensions with an understanding that one will be held to tighter tolerance than the other.
