Extreme-Pressure Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing
Also known as capillary tubing, this small-diameter tubing stands up to high-pressure applications. It has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools or electrolytic cutting tools (not included).
Seamless tubing is smoother and stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting. 316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance.

Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing
Also known as hypodermic or needle tubing, this tubing has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. Tubing connects by welding. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools or electrolytic cutting tools (not included).
