1. Does the capillary tube come in different wall thicknesses?Yes, stainless steel capillary tubes are available in a range of wall thicknesses. Options typically include thin-wall,
standard-wall, and heavy-wall variations, which accommodate different applications depending on factors like pressure requirements and flow rate. Thin-wall tubes are used where flexibility and low flow resistance are needed, while heavy-wall tubes suit high-pressure applications.
2. Is this capillary tube seamless or welded?
Capillary tubes are available in both seamless and welded forms. Seamless tubes are generally preferred for high-precision and high-pressure applications, as they offer better structural integrity without a welded seam. Welded capillary tubes may be more economical but might not perform as well under extreme conditions, especially in very small diameters where precision is critical.
3.Is this tube suitable for high-pressure applications?
Generally, yes, stainless steel capillary tubes can handle high-pressure environments, especially if they are made from SS316 or SS304 and are seamless. However, suitability depends on the tube's wall thickness, diameter, and pressure rating. Thicker walls and smaller diameters typically allow for higher pressure tolerance.
