What is PTFE?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) fluorocarbon resins represent one of the most versatile products lines ever to emerge from Du Pont laboratories. From Exotic space-age applications to molded parts and wire and cable insulation to its consumer use as a coating for cookware, PTFE has fulfilled a wide variety of roles in its 40-year history.

In most of the Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Food industries, Pharmaceuticals, and almost every company handling highly corrosive and hazardous acids and solvents for their processing requirement the lined pipes systems find their application. Often, these chemicals are to be conveyed from storage vessels to the mixing tanks or reactors where they form an intermediate product. Being highly acidic and corrosive in nature, these chemicals have a tendency to corrode and eat away the steel piping which are used as conveyors, leaving the system useless and unsafe for use.
A Sight Glass is used for monitoring flow in pipelines for a wide range of applications. CIP manufactures Sight Glasses suitable for various rugged industrial applications. These Sight Glasses are bi-directional type and easy to install in any orientation. Sight Glasses provides a quick, reliable and economical way to verify the flow of liquids through industrial process pipe lines. Our sight glasses are made from Carbon Steel or stainless steel and lined with a 1mm coating as well as a 3mm liner which is flared at the ends.

To compensate for length changes in pipelines expansion bends, stuffing box compensators or expansion bellows are used. Bellows have proved particulaly suitable for lined pipe which may be subjected to shock and vibration. They also accomodate axial misalignment. Further advantages include simple space-saving design and speedy installation.
