Capillary tubes for precision fluid or gas control

Common characteristics and uses of stainless steel capillary tubes are:

Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel capillary tubes are highly resistant to corrosion due to the presence of chromium, which forms a protective oxide layer on the material’s surface. This resistance makes them suitable for transporting corrosive fluids or operating in harsh environments without degradation.

Precision dimension: Alleima stainless steel capillary tubes are manufactured with extremely small internal diameters and precise tolerances, ensuring accurate fluid flow control and measurement. This precision is crucial in applications such as analytical instrumentation, chromatography, and medical devices.

High strength: Despite their small size, stainless steel capillary tubes exhibit high mechanical strength, allowing them to withstand high pressure and mechanical stress without deformation or failure.

Temperature resistance: Stainless steel capillary tubes can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic temperatures to elevated temperatures, without compromising their structural integrity. This makes them suitable for applications involving extreme temperature conditions, such as in aerospace, automotive, and industrial processes.

Cleanliness and hygiene: Alleima capillary tubes are easy to clean and sterilize, making them ideal for applications where cleanliness and hygiene are critical. This includes food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and medical diagnostics.
