Our connections meet the highest level of quality and margin of safety
From expertise with extremely small tolerances, real-time monitoring of computer data, and statistical processes, we ensure our experts ensure our fluidic connections meet the highest level of quality and margin of safety, so you can have peace of mind when using our fluidic tubing and connections.
Our Proprietary Extrusion Process Ensures Tight Tolerances and Consistency
Precise Internal and Outside Diameters:
- Outer diameters (OD’s) up to 0.400”
- Inner Diameters (ID’s) down to 0.001”
Variety of Materials Including:
- PEEK™
- Radel® R
- Ultem®
- ETFE
- Teflon®
- FEP
- Teflon PFA
- Teflon AF
Extremely Small Tolerances:
- We utilize a three-axis laser to ensure precision and dependability
- Tolerances down to +/-0.0005”
Online Gauging with Real-Time Monitoring:
We utilize an ultrasonic wall gauge to inspect and verify dimensions to assure precise measurements.
Complete in-process tube ID/OD/Wall measurement and control:
We compile computer data to monitor and validate Outer Diameter (OD), Wall Thickness, and Inner Diameter (ID).
Statistical Process Control (SPC):
We apply the SPC method of quality control to monitor and manage processes to ensure efficiency.
