PTFE, 25% Glass Filled Slide Plates
PTFE, 25% glass filled slide plates are primarily used in low heat and high velocity conditions; however, this material can be used in high heat applications in conjunction with other materials. We also use this type of slide plate where there is high wear resistance, no surface treatments necessary or is unaffected by weather conditions.
General Dimensions & Specifications
PTFE Standard Assembly
ASSEMBLY:
Standard Assembly: 2 units of 3/32″ PTFE, 25% glass filled, bonded to 1/8″ carbon steel. For field tack welding. 1/2″ lip. Loads to 2000 PSI, Temperature: -320°F to +500°F
Full Weld Assembly:
2 units of 3/32″ PTFE, 25% glass filled, bonded to indicated backing material with 1/2″ lip all around for full welding. Loads to 2000 PSI, Temperature: -320°F to +500°F
PART # — PTP — 3/32″ TFE — 10 Ga. SS — 1/2″ LIP AND SIZE
ORDERING:
1. Please specify the dimensions of the upper plate and dimensions of the lower plate. It is common practice that the upper plate is generally larger than the lower plate.
2. Specify lip dimension (if different than the standard 1/2″).
3. Specify base plate thickness (if different than standard 1/8″).
ADVANTAGES:
• Ease of installation.
• No setting problems.
• Low coefficient of friction.
• No surface treatments, grouting, or expensive mechanical attachment necessary.
• Chemically inert.
• Unaffected by weather conditions.
• Ability to absorb dirt and grit within itself.
• Self-aligning when used in conjunction with elastomeric backing pads.
APPLICATIONS:
• Bridges: Highway bridges, overpasses, railroad bridges.
• Architectural in Wood, Concrete or Steel: Cross beam and girder slip joints, roof slabs and corbels, vibration pads, airport hangar doors, domes.
• Industrial: Heat exchangers, dust collectors, heavy machinery, refinery equipment, wind tunnels, penstocks, vessels, pipelines, air preheaters, atomic energy applications, transmission towers, storage tanks, offshore drilling rigs.
