Stainless precision tubes with slotted cut ends, the slots pierced in a fixture so position and width repeat. Slotted ends pass media or lock into mating features while the tube bore stays smooth and uninterrupted.
Function and Design
Tube work is unforgiving: a few hundredths in the wrong place and the assembly will not go together. The tube tolerances that matter are confirmed with capability data before pricing is agreed.
Key Features
- Slots are pierced with hard tooling – clean edges at exact positions, batch after batch.
- Stainless tube construction shrugs off washdown, humidity and process media without plating to chip through.
- Certificates of conformity and dimensional reports are issued on request.
- Material: stainless steel (304 / 316), with mill certificate and heat-number traceability supplied with the first article.
- Process: tube drawing and turning for the tube, wall held to the agreed band, burr-free piercing on the second operation.
- Finish: For the tube, surface is natural as standard; zinc, nickel, chrome and e-coat are quoted to the print.
- Size: Overall size to customer drawing.
- Custom: OEM/ODM to drawing; free samples of the tube and a manufacturability review before tooling.
Where It Is Used
Typical applications include industrial gauge tubing, automotive sensor stems, temperature probe assemblies.
Factory-Direct Advantage
Most of the difficulty in a tube is invisible: wall consistency, concentricity, burr control. Our answer on the tube is process control: fixed setups, recorded parameters and sampling through the run.
