If you specify tubing for fluid delivery systems, you should go seamless. In a new video, we explore the quality and performance advantages of seamless stainless steel and nickel alloy coil tubing over welded tubing. The reason why: seamless tubing doesn’t suffer from the welding defects that can cause leaks, holes or failure points. Watch [...]
As of March 26th, 2018 Christopher Rowland has been selected as the Vice President & General Manager of HandyTube Corporation. “I am pleased to announce Christopher’s promotion to Vice President & General Manager, he has made a significant impact at HandyTube on improving the efficiency and profitability of the Operations functions. He also has managed [...]
We recently had the pleasure of exhibiting at Pittcon 2018, the world’s leading conference on laboratory science. This annual trade show took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida from February 26th to March 1st. We highlighted the critical role our tubing plays in laboratory equipment and other high-precision applications. In particular, [...]
Impurities in Ultra-Small Diameter (USD) tubing, such as oil, grease, and other foreign material left over from the manufacturing process, can result in cross-contamination and inaccurate sample readings in chromatography applications. To prevent this, conventional tubing requires additional cleaning prior to installation. But for many end users, figuring out a way to effectively clean stainless-steel [...]
When it comes to manufacturing Ultra-Small Diameter (USD) tubing, the type of stainless-steel alloy you choose makes a difference. The most common alloys are the 300 series, which contain chromium, nickel, molybdenum and titanium. They can withstand high pressures and temperatures, are ideal for seamless coil-tubing applications and are available in a variety of corrosion-resistant [...]
Ultra-Small Diameter (USD) capillary tubing plays a critical role in improving the performance of liquid chromatography and related microfluidics instrumentation. Industry leaders in these fields require faster, more efficient equipment that can provide high-precision results. Thanks to USD tubing, this competitive edge is now attainable. USD tubing used in these applications must have a clean [...]
The Unified Numbering System (UNS) for Metals and Alloys is an alloy identification system which was jointly developed by the ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to provide a means of correlating many internationally used metal and alloy numbering systems administered by various societies, trade associations and [...]
There are three primary styles of medium pressure tube fittings. They are differentiated by their end connections, each having its own advantages and disadvantages in specific applications. ⇒ Compression Fittings: Slide over the tube and use a ferrule design to coin and seal on the OD of the tube. ⇒ Butt Weld Fittings: Permanently joins to the [...]
When it comes to material handling equipment, warehouse managers are increasingly making the switch from batteries to hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells can run on a single charge for a full eight hour shift. Batteries, on the other hand, are known to die at least once per shift and can take up to thirty minutes [...]
