Capillary Tubes

Capillary Tubes

Capillary Tubes Capillary Tubes are precision-engineered tubing products with extremely small diameters designed for applications requiring high accuracy, controlled flow, and superior surface finish. These tubes are widely used in medical, instrumentation, refrigeration, and chemical industries where micro level precision and reliability are essential.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and other specialty materials, capillary tubes offer excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability. Their tight dimensional tolerances and smooth internal surfaces make them indispensable for sensitive applications like chromatography, thermocouples, and hydraulic systems.

Moksh Tubes & Fittings LLP, we produce capillaries to ASTM, ASME, and international standards, ensuring consistency, quality, and performance. Our advanced manufacturing techniques, including cold drawing, bright annealing, and precision polishing, ensure capillary tubes meet the most demanding industry requirements.

FAQ's

What is Haynes 242 and why is it important in high-temperature applications?

Haynes 242 (UNS N10242) is an age-hardenable nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy that combines excellent high-temperature strength with very low thermal expansion. It is widely used in aerospace, chemical, and power generation industries because it provides outstanding dimensional stability, fatigue resistance, and oxidation resistance up to 815 °C (1500 °F), making it ideal for critical operations under extreme conditions.

What are the key properties of Haynes 242 alloy?

Haynes 242 offers a unique combination of properties including exceptional strength at elevated temperatures, the lowest thermal expansion among comparable superalloys, high resistance to oxidation, and excellent fatigue and creep performance. It has a tensile strength ranging from 105 to 218 ksi depending on form, with yield strength up to 140 ksi, and maintains structural stability up to 705 °C (1300 °F). Its weldability and formability, even in the age-hardened condition, make it a versatile alloy for demanding applications.

Which industries and applications commonly use Haynes 242?

Haynes 242 is widely used in aerospace and gas turbines for seal rings, ducting, fuel nozzles, and containment casings. In chemical and petrochemical industries, it is used for HF and fluorine resistant components, reactors, and extrusion screws. It also finds applications in industrial furnaces for press tooling, heat exchangers, and furnace parts, in nuclear and specialty energy sectors for controlled expansion components, and in power generation for boiler superheaters and gas turbine hardware.
