Proper tubing is essential to the performance of a tubing system. Consider a system's pressure, flow, temperature, environment and compatibility with the process fluids when choosing the tubing material, size and wall thickness.
Wall Thickness
The wall thickness selection should be based on the operating pressure, temperature and shock conditions. Fully annealed tubing is recommended. Stainless Steel Tubing having a hardness of less than Rockwell Rb90 should be used.
