Understanding Stainless Steel Capillary Tube Characteristics
The stainless steel capillary tube is a precision-engineered metallurgical product created through cold drawing. Unlike standard seamless pipes, these tubes feature extremely small walls and diameters with exceptionally tight dimensional tolerances. They offer superior straightness, surface precision, and end finishing compared to conventional tubing.
