Stainless Steel 304 Hypodermic Tubing is precision-manufactured to ensure dimensional consistency, smooth surfaces, strength, and corrosion resistance. The tubing is manufactured by forming, welding and drawing Grade 304 stainless steel and can be produced to close tolerances on the outside and inside diameters of miniature components and precision assemblies. It is usually alloyed with 18-20% of chromium and 8-10.5% of nickel in order to strike up a balance between corrosion resistance and formability. It comes in gauge sizes and can be provided in a variety of wall thicknesses and material conditions as appropriate. Stainless Steel 304 Hypodermic Tubing is widely used for medical devices, surgical parts, laboratory equipment and precision industrial applications. USA Pipings is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of customized sizes and specifications for Stainless Steel 304 Hypodermic Tubing for the most challenging applications.
