Safe, Economical Long-Distance Tubing for High-Pressure Applications
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 [...]
How Our Thin, Long-Length Tubes Benefit High-Precision Applications
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 [...]
Protective Coatings for Stainless Steel Tubing: Application Makes the Difference
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 [...]
Laser Scanning Technology Delivers Smoother Tube Surfaces
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, [...]

Precision Tube ID Surface Condition & Cleanliness: High-Purity Results
Developers of chromatography, analytical laboratory equipment and medical instrumentation need to ensure they select the correct tubing for their application. The demands of laboratory and production applications require high quality tubing to maintain the critical purity of chemical processes and testing. Tubing that does not meet the stringent specifications of the application typically experience quality problems caused by contaminates. This results in frequent, labor intensive and costly replacement of components because of corrosion of the inside of the stainless steel tubing. […]
