PTFE insulating tubing (AWG standard)
Insulating tubing is available in thin (LW), standard (TW) and thick (HW) walls for AWG 30 to AWG 0 (nominal diameter 0.30 to 8.40 mm). A selection:
| AWG | Nominal Ø mm | Inner Ø min–max mm | Wall LW | Wall TW | Wall HW |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 0.30 | 0.25–0.38 | 0.15 | 0.23 | 0.23 |
| 24 | 0.60 | 0.51–0.69 | 0.15 | 0.25 | 0.30 |
| 20 | 0.90 | 0.81–1.02 | 0.15 | 0.30 | 0.40 |
| 16 | 1.40 | 1.29–1.55 | 0.15 | 0.30 | 0.40 |
| 12 | 2.20 | 2.06–2.31 | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.40 |
| 8 | 3.40 | 3.28–3.58 | 0.20 | 0.38 | 0.51 |
| 4 | 5.30 | 5.18–5.69 | 0.25 | 0.38 | 0.51 |
| 0 | 8.40 | 8.26–8.81 | 0.30 | 0.38 | 0.51 |
FEP heat-shrink tubing 1.6:1
Under heat, FEP shrinks to about 60% of its original diameter and then sits smooth, chemically resistant and transparent over the part. Service temperature is typically around +200 °C depending on grade. We give exact shrink and service values for each batch.
