In an ideal world, obtaining tubing for your project would be straightforward. In the real world, designs and installations often present difficult-to-satisfy requirements. However most tube suppliers only offer standard tube products, leaving customers few options to address specific design or performance challenges. Early collaboration with your tube supplier can help address a challenge before [...]

Many tube manufacturers produce short lengths of tubing that must be joined. The traditional methods for both manufacturing and joining short lengths of tubing come with inherent variability that can compromise quality. For critical applications that demand tubing with consistent quality, variability is not acceptable. However, the inconsistencies associated with conventional tube manufacturing can be [...]

If you plan to install tubing, it's important to keep in mind the internal pressures that act on your tube. After all, ruptured tubing could lead to expensive if not catastrophic consequences. Bursting can be prevented with the help of your tubing provider and careful attention to the following factors: Tube size. The diameter of [...]

When it comes to reliably delivering gas, steam and liquids in harsh environments, it’s no secret that custom seamless stainless steel tubing offers clear benefits. There are, however, situations in which quality stainless steel tubing may need additional surface treatment to get the most of those benefits when installed in certain conditions. Some of the [...]

When transporting high-pressure media through long lengths of stainless steel tubing, you want to have as few welds as possible. More welds equate to more risk to your system’s safety and reliability. Excessive welds also drive up installation costs. HandyTube has an innovative manufacturing process that can produce long lengths of ½, ¾ and 1 [...]

Many chemical, gas and life science applications have demanding stainless steel tubing requirements. These applications often involve high-precision analytical instruments, which require very clean, tight-tolerance, thin wall tubing. In these instruments, the quality and cleanliness of the tubing have a direct effect on the performance of the analytical instruments. Thin Walls, Long Lengths, Tight Tolerances [...]

When you need surface-treated stainless steel tubing, not all coatings are created equal. Many coatings can suffer from uneven application, which is especially true for tubing because it can come in many different forms. Or, they may require burn-in or seasoning when applied to stainless steel. That takes time. The best performing protective coatings typically [...]

The HandyTube laser microscope image depicts height variation and measures high/low point averages. Blue areas are low, green mid-range and red high. Gauging tube surfaces to achieve a desired smoothness can be a painstaking and time-consuming process. Many tubing suppliers use profilometers to measure surfaces, but this technique involves a long setup time, [...]
