The basic component of the Cheminert system is the polypropylene nut, retained on PTFE or FEP tubing by a flange formed with a Cheminert flanging tool. This is an excellent method for connecting fluorocarbon tubing, as there is no reduction of the inside diameter and no binding or twisting of the tubing when the fitting is tightened. A mating of the parts is achieved with zero dead volume, making this an ideal fitting for biological systems.
Cheminert 1/4-28 tube end fittings come in twelve different colors for system color coding, and are available for 1/16" or 1/8" OD fluorocarbon tubing. (While in theory other polymers could be molded to form a flange, only fluorocarbons such as PTFE or FEP have low-temperature malleability and good form retention at operating temperatures.)
Tube end fittings attach directly to Cheminert valves and fittings, and are easily joined to each other with a union. Finger-tightness is all that is required to make a leak-free seal at 500 psi liquid, although for long term reliability a wrench could be used to apply an additional 1/8 turn.
Packages include the same number of washers as fittings.
