High-Performance Fluorelastomer Tubing and FPM/FKM (Viton®) Tubes for Chemical and Technical Applications
These specialized tubes, also known as FPM or FKM tubing (under the brand name Viton®), is highly valued for its versatility and superior quality. RCT offers a wide range of Fluorelastomer tubes in various Shore hardness levels (A 55°, A 60°, A 62°, and A 75°, according to ISO 48-4/DIN 53505) to meet diverse technical requirements. These flexible tubes are ideal for non-pressurised systems and are frequently used in laboratory environments. In addition, pressure-resistant variants are available, designed for use at up to 10 bar at +20 °C.
Outstanding Properties for Demanding Technical Environments
Fluorelastomer tubing offers excellent thermal resistance, suitable for continuous operation between -20 °C and +200 °C, with short-term tolerance up to +250 °C. In gas-related applications, Fluorelastomer tubes are essential due to their virtually gas-tight structure and extremely low permeability. This makes Fluorelastomer tubing ideal for transporting aggressive and corrosive gases, where the highest standards of safety and reliability must be met.
Our Range of Fluorelastomer Tubes at a Glance
The RCT portfolio of Fluorelastomer tubing—also referred to as FPM tubing, FKM, or Viton® tubing—includes tailored solutions for a wide range of applications. Whether you require Fluorelastomer tubes for laboratory use, for peristaltic pumps, or for pressure applications, they stand out due to their chemical resistance, temperature stability, and broad applicability. Below is an overview of our product range:
- FPM/FKM Tubing – High Flexible 60: This product is primarily used in laboratory applications and features Shore hardness A 60° (ISO 48-4/DIN 53505). It resists temperatures from -20 °C to +200 °C and tolerates short-term exposure up to +250 °C. Flame resistance meets UL 94 V-0.
- FPM Chemical Tubing – High Flexible 62 and Standard Flexible 75: These come in Shore hardness A 62° and A 72° (ISO 48-4/DIN 53505) and are designed for laboratory technology, biochemical analytics, and small-scale process chemistry. They operate in the same temperature range (-20 °C to +200 °C, short-term up to +250 °C) and the viton hoses virtually gas-tight, ensuring safe handling of aggressive vapours and gases. Flame classification: UL 94 V-0.
- FPM Micro Tubing: Used in analytical technology, these Fluorelastomer tubes have a Shore hardness of A 64° (ISO 48-4/DIN 53505) and a thermal resistance of -20 °C to +200 °C. These Fluorelastomer tubes are compatible with nearly all organic and inorganic media, including corrosive solutions. Due to their extremely low permeability, they are considered virtually gas-tight.
- FPM Pump Tubing with 2 or 3 Stoppers: These Fluorelastomer tubes are configured for peristaltic pumps and include either two or three colour-coded stoppers for positioning in cassette systems. The Fluorelastomer tubing offers excellent chemical resistance and withstands operating temperatures from -20 °C to +200 °C.
- FPM Dual-Wall Chemical Tubing: This pressure-rated tubes are used in the mineral oil industry, process engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. They offer high chemical resistance to nearly all organic and inorganic substances. The temperature range is -20 °C to +120 °C, with a maximum pressure capacity of 10 bar at +20 °C.
- FPM Steel-Braided Tubing: This reinforced Fluorelastomer tubing is suitable for pressure ranges of 6 to 8 bar at +20 °C, depending on size. It is used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and mineral oil industries. These Fluorelastomer products are resistant to ozone, weathering, and ageing, feature a smooth surface, and are virtually gas-tight. Available in sizes DN 8 to DN 20, with Shore hardness A 75° (ISO 48-4/DIN 53505) and a working temperature range of -25 °C to +180 °C.
