We recently attended Pittcon 2019—the world’s leading conference and expo on laboratory science. This year, the show took place on March 17–21 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. Over the course of the event, our team was on hand at our booth—meeting attendees and answering tubing questions. In particular, we highlighted how you can [...]
To mitigate the risk of corrosion, tubes are often made out of corrosion-resistant alloys, including Inconel alloys and stainless steels. At elevated temperatures, however, sensitization can still occur—opening up your alloy to attack. Let’s explore what sensitization is, as well as some of the ways you can prevent it. How Sensitization Occurs At elevated temperatures, [...]
The applications of seamless stainless-steel tubing can include anything from medical equipment to offshore drilling rigs. Selecting the right alloy is one of the ways you can meet your application’s specific requirements and also ensure success on the job. Depending on the alloying elements, you can enhance the properties of your tube—from improving its ductility, [...]
HandyTube Corporation was the winners of 2018 ABOVE AND BEYOND SAFETY AWARD with "Safety Proctor Initiative" In 2018, Steel Partners implemented a recognition program for the SP Operating Companies(OpCo) that are going "Above and Beyond" the normal regularity compliance requirements in environmental, health and safety (EH&S). HandyTube was voted as the OpCo with the most [...]
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 [...]
The geometry of the tube end can make or break your tube’s performance in sensitive industries like chromatography, semiconductor manufacturing and aerospace. The tube end determines how the tube interacts with a variety of complex assemblies, which means there can be little room for error in how they’re cut. Traditional saw-cut methods are too abrasive [...]
Choosing the right tubing for your fluid delivery system can be a daunting task because you have a lot of options to choose from, including seamless and welded straight lengths, welded and drawn coils—and more. But one kind of tubing beats the rest for its reliability, cost savings, installation efficiency and exceptional performance in demanding [...]
Whether you’re a manufacturer, importer or distributor of pressure equipment, it’s crucial to stay on top of the latest in international industry standards—especially if you’re looking to expand your customer base overseas. Less than a year ago, for example, the European Union (EU) replaced its Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), which outlines the standards for the [...]
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 [...]
