PTFE tape are often used in daily life, especially when connecting pipes. Because it is so common, many people don't care about how it is used, and feel that it is just a matter of winding it around the pipe a few times, and they can't even tell the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the PTFE tape. Today, PTFE tape manufacturers will sort out the common misunderstandings and standard use methods of PTFE tape in the use process.

PTFE tape use

Common misunderstandings of PTFE tape

1. I feel that it is almost the same after winding three or five times around the place where the PTFE tape should be used, but it will still leak. The reason is that there is less winding.

2. For hoses or so on, the more you wrap it, the more it leaks. The reason is that the hose should not only be solved by winding PTFE tape, it should be fundamentally solved, sometimes winding will have the opposite effect, the hose joint can not be bent at about 3 cm, can not be bent, can not be bent, if the long-term stress state of the hose life will be greatly reduced.

3. Sometimes there is no scruple to use the strength of the milk to screw the screw, and it is likely that the thread will be broken, or the pipe will be cracked, which is due to the brutal operation, which is the fundamental reason.

Standard usage method for PTFE tape

1. The PTFE tape needs to be wound along the direction of the thread, which greatly reduces the sealing performance.

2. Do not wrap all the threads around the PTFE tape, in addition to avoiding the PTFE tape from entering the pipeline, it will also reduce the sealing performance. It is advisable to start winding from the second thread at the beginning of the thread, leaving one thread out.

3. When winding the PTFE tape, you need to use a little force to ensure that the PTFE tape is not wound when it is not broken, and the PTFE tape wrapped in this way is tight and firm enough to ensure the sealing. After the PTFE tape is wound, once tightened, it is not allowed to withdraw (twist back), otherwise it must be rewound.
