PEEK tubing
Do you have an overview of your PEEK extrusion capabilities?
Can I have custom sized PEEK tubing?
What are the standard outer diameter (OD) sizes available?
What do the different colors signify?
Will the color leach from PEEK tubing?
What is the maximum temperature that PEEK tubing can be used at?
What is the maximum operating pressure that PEEK tubing can be used at?
What lengths of PEEK tubing are available?
What solvents can I use with PEEK tubing?
What are some solvents that are not recommended for use with PEEK tubing?
Can I use stainless steel fittings with PEEK tubing?
Can I use PEEK tubing as a sleeve over fused silica tubing (FST) in a larger port such as a 10-32 or 6-40 port?
PEEKsil tubing
What is the bend radius for PEEKsil?
  • 1/16" PEEKsil, no less than radius 25 mm (diameter 50 mm)
  • 1/32" PEEKsil, no less than radius 13 mm (diameter 26 mm)
  • 0.36 mm PEEKsil, no less than radius 8 mm (diameter 16 mm)
What is the maximum temperature that PEEKsil can be used at?
Can I cut my PEEKsil tubing?
GLT (Glass Lined Tubing)
What is the maximum temperature for GLT?

The maximum temperature for continuous use is 500°C. Once you get above about 600°C the glass layer will start to soften, so that it might be deformed by any pressure.

Above about 500°C, the strength of the stainless steel will also be reduced.

What is the smallest ID GLT that we can make?
How thick is the stainless steel wall of GLT?
What is the glass thickness of GLT?
What is the minimum bend radius for GLT?
Do you make GLT with quartz coating?
