Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Lab equipment/immersion circulators
English term or phrase: 1/4 in. FTP rear discharge
This is part of the specifications for immersion circulators. Could someone help me with the FTP part please? There is no more context. This is just an entry in a table specifying the pump inlet and outlet of these units. As usual, this is rather pressing....

Thanks in advance,

Antje

Thank you both for your help. None of the answers were correct but I want to honor Karl's prompt reply. My client asked his client and found out that it stands for female pipe thread, as odd as it is...

Best,

Antje

Opinion


Explanation:
It's probably a type of plastic IMO.
Can't see the relevance of a federal test procedure to a simple thread/pipe size designation.
Fluorotetrapolyethylene or summat similar. FTP.

Always difficult with no context.
