    The wall thickness of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubing directly influences its strength, flexibility, and performance characteristics. Here’s how the wall thickness affects PTFE tubing: Strength: Thicker-walled PTFE tubing generally exhibits higher strength and resistance to mechanical stress, pressure, and deformation compared to thinner-walled tubing. A thicker wall provides more material to withstand internal and external forces,…
