Description - Fixed Dip Pipes are fairly rigid, thick wall PTFE tubes, either straight or 90º elbowed, which are directly crimped to the end of the Bioflex hoses. They are designed for insertion into drums, tanks and reaction vessels in order to suction drain (or inject) process fluids transferred through the hose.
Materials
- Standard dip pipes are in anti-static (AS) PTFE
- Ferrules, most in Grade 304 SS, some sizes in Grade 316L SS
How to Order - Specify the size and material of the dip pipe, whether it is straight or 90º elbowed. Given the length of the straight leg of the dip pipe and the length of the rest of the hose assembly separately.
Maximum Working Pressure - Dip Pipes are normally only tested to 4 Bar Pressure, and are not suitable for use at pressures higher than 3 Bar. They are usable at negative pressure up to full vacuum.
If higher pressure ratings are required, contact Aflex Hose.
Lengths - Dip Pipes are supplied as standard in 1 metre lengths but can be supplied in any length to individual requirements.

Detachable Dip-Pipes
Description - As Fixed Dip Pipes above but connected to the hose through an end fitting, not by crimping direct onto the hose.
Design - A straight or 90° elbowed anti-static PTFE Dip Pipe fitted with (any) PTFE Lined and Flared end fitting. The most usual end fitting is a Cam Male (as shown in picture), so the dip pipe can then be connected to a hose with a Cam Female end fitting.
Specifications - As above for the Fixed Dip Pipes.
