Frequently Asked Questions
What is capillary tubing made of?
Capillary tubing is made from Type 316L stainless steel, which ensures it is seamless, fully annealed, and highly durable.
How is the capillary tubing manufactured?
The manufacturing process involves: 1.Extruding the tubing from a billet of Type 316L stainless steel. 2.Re-drawing the material through a die. 3.Heat-treating in a vacuum furnace. 4.Cleaning, polishing, and passivating the tubing to achieve the desired dimensions and finish.
What applications is this capillary tubing suitable for?
This tubing is ideal for high-pressure applications such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography, chemical processing, and analytical instrumentation.
What does the annealing process do to the tubing?
Annealing removes the temper or stiffness from the tubing, making it easy to bend and form without compromising its strength.
What are the key features of this capillary tubing?
-Small inside diameter and heavy wall for high-pressure applications. -0.064 inches outside diameter for easy connection using standard 1/16” compression fittings. -Wide chemical compatibility. -Prefinished with square, burr-free ends and interiors for minimal dead volume connections. -Cleaned, polished, and passivated for immediate use.
Can this tubing be used for biological samples?
No, this tubing is not recommended for biological samples. It is optimized for chemical and industrial applications.
