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).
Welded tubing is more economical than seamless tubing; it has a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup.

Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing with Polished Exterior
- Temperature Range: -420° to 600° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
The outside of this small-diameter tubing is polished to a high-luster finish for a shiny appearance. Also known as hypodermic or needle tubing, it 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 has very good corrosion resistance. It connects by welding. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools or electrolytic cutting tools (not included).
High-Temperature Tube Sleeving
Use this sleeving in applications where temperatures reach up to 500° F. Made of PTFE, it resists chemicals, acids, and solvents. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. Due to its small size and flexibility, it’s also known as spaghetti tubing. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.
