FTC 500

Description

The FTC 500 is a foam component integral to the FTC 3/8 and FTC 1/4 x 1 assemblies. Made from 9 square inches of PEX foam in a blue 2lb sheet, this component is essential for insulation and cooling applications within the system. The high-quality PEX foam ensures effective thermal management, making it a critical element in maintaining the temperature stability of the system's contents.

Function

The FTC 500 functions as an insulating component, leveraging the properties of PEX foam to provide excellent thermal insulation. This helps in maintaining the temperature of the system's contents, specifically in applications where liquid nitrogen is used for cooling. The foam's structure minimizes heat transfer, ensuring that the liquid nitrogen's cooling effect is maximized and the gas samples remain at the desired low temperatures.

Application

The FTC 500 is used in both the FTC 3/8 and FTC 1/4 x 1 assemblies. In these applications, it forms part of the cooling mechanism that controls the temperature of gas samples or other contents. The foam's insulation properties are critical in systems that require precise temperature management to ensure the integrity and accuracy of samples and processes.
