Saint-Gobain Tygon S3™E-3603 Laboratory Tubing for Vacuum Applications
- Thick, non-collapsible wall for laboratory vacuum applications will not collapse under pressure
- Provides improved bend radius and higher working & vacuum pressure ratings
- Excellent clarity for process monitoring
- Resists cracks and abrasion; less permeable than rubber
- Non oxidizing and non-contaminating
- Easy-measure coils are marked at 1’ intervals
- Resists most inorganic chemicals; can be used in corrosive atmospheres
The Only Choice for Phthalate-Free Vacuum Tubing:
- Non-DEHP, bio-based plasticizer is fully biodegradable
- Based on sustainable resources
- Safe for the environment; reduced end-user risk
Tygon S3™ E-3603 Vacuum Tubing has all of the same properties as the original E-3603 formulation, plus extra thick walls to support laboratory vacuum pump applications. Vacuum tubing features improvements to bend radius as well as higher and more consistent levels of working pressure and vacuum pressure ratings. Flexible and strong, the tubing easily connects to hose barb fittings to form a tight connection and will not collapse under vacuum pressure or kink when manipulated. Tygon S3™E-3603 Vacuum tubing withstands a full vacuum at room temperature (29.9” [759mm] of mercury at 73°F [23°C] – up to 27” [686mm] of mercury at 140°F [60°C]. Crystal-clear tubing has glass-like clarity for visual inspection and process monitoring, and will not whiten when crimped or bent. It less permeable than rubber tubing and has superior abrasion and crack resistance. Tygon S3™ E-3603 Vacuum Tubing is non-oxydizing, non-contaminating, resists most inorganic chemicals found in the laboratory, and can be used in corrosive environments. Smooth inner bore prevents build-up and facilitates cleaning. Coils are marked at 1-foot intervals for easy measuring. This formulation is ideal for general laboratory use involving liquid and gas vacuum transfer.
Applications:
- Vacuum separation and filtration of liquids
- Vacuum transfer of liquids and gasses
- General laboratory use for vacuum applications
