Stainless Steel Capillary Tube

Introduction

At Tubotech, we specialize within the manufacture and supply of exceptional Stainless Steel Capillary Tubes for industries that call for precision, reliability, and corrosion resistance. These tubes are relatively thin-walled and come with tight dimensional tolerances, making them ideal for programs in instrumentation, scientific devices, analytical systems, and fluid switch structures.

Our Stainless Steel Capillary Tubes are to be had in seamless and welded forms, and we provide a huge range of sizes and finishes. We have set up itself as a main Stainless Steel Capillary Tube dealer in India, with an increasing international presence due to our commitment to fine, activate delivery, and customer satisfaction.

Chemical Composition of Stainless Steel Capillary Tubes

Tubotech uses only certified stainless steel grades for capillary tubes, ensuring high purity, excellent formability, and corrosion resistance. Below is the typical chemical composition of our most common grades:

 

SS 304 Capillary Tube

Element Content (%)
Carbon (C) ≤ 0.08
Manganese (Mn) ≤ 2.00
Silicon (Si) ≤ 0.75
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.045
Sulfur (S) 0.030
Chromium (Cr) 18.0–20.0
Nickel (Ni) 8.0–10.5

SS 316 Capillary Tube

Element Content (%)
Carbon (C) 0.08
Manganese (Mn) ≤ 2.00
Silicon (Si) ≤ 0.75
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.045
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.030
Chromium (Cr) 16.0–18.0
Nickel (Ni) 10.0–14.0
Molybdenum (Mo) 2.0–3.0

Mechanical Properties

Stainless Steel Capillary Tube offer excellent mechanical strength, even in small dimensions. Their resilience under pressure and ability to withstand mechanical stress make them ideal for critical applications.

Property SS 304 SS 316
Tensile Strength ≥ 515 MPa ≥ 515 MPa
Yield Strength ≥ 205 MPa ≥ 205 MPa
Elongation ≥ 35% ≥ 35%
Hardness ≤ 90 ≤ 90

These mechanical properties are maintained even at thin wall thicknesses, allowing safe use in pressurized systems.
