FAQs:
What materials are available for capillary tubing processing?
We process both 304 stainless steel for general purposes and 316L stainless steel for enhanced corrosion and chemical resistance, both supplied in annealed condition suitable for cold working operations.
What types of end forming operations can be performed?
We offer comprehensive end forming including sealing one end through cold-formed domes or welded caps for hermetic seals, and flaring the opposite end with 37° JIC, 45°, conical, or roll flare types for connection purposes.
What quality control measures are implemented?
Our quality control includes 100% dimensional inspection using micrometers and optical comparators, visual inspection, optional pressure or leak testing, material certification per EN 10204 3.1, and thorough cleaning in controlled environments with comprehensive documentation provided.
What are the typical applications for these processed capillary tubes?
These components are ideal for chromatography instruments, medical device sub-assemblies, precision fluid dispensing systems, sensor probes, thermowells, and industrial lubrication or cooling applications requiring precise flow control and sealing.
