Overview

Instrument tubing carries the signal, not the process: a 6 mm or 1/4 in line from a tapping point to a transmitter. Cleanliness, concentricity and a bore free of burrs matter more than pressure rating, because a blocked impulse line reads the wrong value and a burr becomes a fatigue crack.

What is controlled

Bore cleanliness after drawing and degreasing — no oil, scale or metal particle residue; ends capped and the tube vacuum packed.

Concentricity and wall uniformity, so compression fittings seal on the first make-up.

Typical configurations

Coiled or straight lengths, with or without a PVC / PTFE sheath for tray and panel runs.

Twin-ferrule compression connections or cone-and-thread to the panel standard you use.

Materials

  • Austenitic stainless (304/316L, 321)
  • Duplex (2205)
  • Nickel alloys (625, C-276)
