Extreme-Pressure Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Flexibility: Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (See table for hardness rating)
- Temperature Range: See table
A lightweight alternative to stainless steel, this PEEK plastic tubing can handle extreme-pressure applications and has excellent impact resistance. It has the chemical resistance to withstand a variety of acids and other harsh substances. The clarity of this tubing can range from semi-clear to opaque, so you may not be able to see inside the line to monitor flow. It is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.
Note: The walls of this tubing will permanently collapse if bent too far.
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).
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance.

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.
