What is a Capillary Tube?

Understanding Specifications and Applications in Precision Engineering

Introduction to Capillary Tubes

Capillary tubes, with their small outer diameter and thin wall thickness, play a vital role in industries where precision is non-negotiable. From medical devices like catheters and surgical instruments to HVAC systems and precision instrumentation, these tubes are indispensable. At MachiningFabTech, we’ve been supplying high-quality stainless steel capillary tube bending services and big diameter tube bending services for over a decade, helping clients in industries like healthcare, automotive, hydraulic, new energy, wind power, aerospace, etc achieve their engineering goals. For example, in a recent project, we provided custom capillary tube bending parts for a leading medical device manufacturer, ensuring compliance with ASTM A269 standards and delivering exceptional performance.

Key Specifications of Capillary Tubes

Capillary tubes are typically defined by their small dimensions:

• Outer Diameter (OD): Ranges from 0.1mm to 10mm.

• Wall Thickness: Usually between 0.1mm and 1mm.

These specifications make capillary tubes ideal for applications requiring high precision and minimal material usage.

Applications of Capillary Tubes in Precision Engineering

Capillary tubes are indispensable in industries where precision and reliability are paramount. Some common applications include:

• Medical Devices: Used in catheters, needles, and surgical instruments.

• Instrumentation: Essential for sensors, gauges, and analytical equipment.

• HVAC Systems: Play a key role in refrigeration and cooling systems.
