How to Specify PTFE Bellows

PTFE Bellows need to be specied accurately to perform safely and have a long life. Beyond the basics of nominal bore size, media, temperature and pressure, the movements required by the bellows are crical. Beside diameter and media, operang pressure & temperature, as well as required movements are most important. The individual data sheets for each bellows size provide this data for our standard products. If this does not suit your need then please contact us with the informaon below. Fields in blue indicate the standard product. Customer Name
