When Cleanliness Isn’t Just a Goal—It’s a Requirement
We’ve been in the stainless steel business long enough to know that not all tubing is created equal. In industries like pharmaceuticals and semiconductor manufacturing, a single microbe or particle can mean batch failure, contamination, or worse—product recalls. That’s why we developed our High-Purity 316L Sanitary Tubing: to deliver the kind of reliability you can build critical systems on, not just hope for.
We start with ASTM A270-compliant 316L, which gives you the right mix of low carbon (≤0.03%), 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. This isn’t just about chemistry on paper—it’s about real-world resistance to chlorides, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking, especially in CIP/SIP cycles. Every tube is electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.38 µm (15 µin), not just polished. That ultra-smooth finish reduces microbial adhesion and makes cleaning faster, which our customers in brewing and UPW systems tell us cuts downtime by up to 30%.
Precision That Works in the Real World
Tolerances matter. A 0.005″ deviation in OD/ID can disrupt flow rates or cause seal failures in high-purity gas lines. Our seamless construction and ±0.005″ dimensional accuracy ensure consistent performance across long runs—no dead legs, no crevices. We test every batch to 3000 psi (206 bar), so you know it holds under pressure, whether you’re moving sterile water or aggressive chemicals.
- We’ve seen customers switch from generic tubing and reduce maintenance costs by nearly 40%—mainly due to fewer clogging and corrosion issues.
- Our electropolishing process isn’t just surface-deep: it removes embedded iron and enhances chromium oxide layer formation, which is key for long-term passivity.
- End options include beveled, grooved, or custom Tri-Clamp® fittings—because we know one-size-fits-all rarely fits anyone.
We comply with FDA, USP Class VI, and ISO 14644-1 standards, and every shipment comes with full MTRs. No surprises. No hidden batch issues.
Built in China, Engineered for Global Demands
Yes, we’re a China-based manufacturer—but that’s not a compromise. It’s an advantage. We combine competitive pricing with tight quality control, from raw material sourcing to final inspection. We offer custom lengths (up to 20 ft), wall thicknesses from 0.035″ to 0.25″, and even 3D-printed prototypes for complex system layouts. Need a non-standard bend radius or a mechanical polish for specific flow dynamics? We’ve done it.
Whether you’re designing a new bioreactor loop or upgrading an aging beverage line, we’re here to help—not just sell tubing. Reach out. We answer fast, and we know the questions to ask before you even ask them.
