Tubing & Capillary

Tubing & Capillaries for Precise and Reliable Fluid Handling

Tubing and capillaries are important components for the safe and controlled transport of liquids and gases. Depending on the application, they must meet specific requirements for material compatibility, flexibility, pressure resistance, temperature resistance and dimensional accuracy. We offer tubing and capillaries for laboratory and analytical equipment, medical technology, pharmaceuticals, food technology and industrial applications.

Our range includes different types of tubing and capillaries for a variety of fluid handling tasks. Selecting the right product depends on factors such as the fluid being transferred, operating conditions, required dimensions and intended application.

Tubing for Different Applications

Whether you need flexible tubing for a pump, a media-resistant connection in a fluidic system or a precision capillary for analytical applications, the requirements for tubing and capillaries vary according to their intended use.

• Peristaltic pump tubing: flexible tubing for transferring and dosing liquids in peristaltic pumps.
• Medical and pharmaceutical tubing: for applications with specific requirements for material properties and media compatibility.
• Beverage and food-grade tubing: for suitable applications in food and beverage technology.
• Industrial tubing: for a variety of technical applications and operating conditions.
• Rigid tubing and capillaries: for applications requiring defined dimensions and shape-retaining line routing.
• HPLC tubing: for chromatographic systems where precise dimensions and suitable material properties are important.

Selecting the Right Materials and Dimensions

The choice of material affects the reliability and service life of tubing. Important factors include the chemical properties of the fluid, operating temperature and, where applicable, requirements for flexibility, sterilisation or mechanical resistance. Depending on the application, materials such as silicone, thermoplastic elastomers or fluoropolymers may be suitable.

In addition to material selection, the inner and outer diameters, wall thickness, tubing length and connection requirements must be considered. For pump tubing, mechanical stress and the material's recovery behaviour are also important. In analytical applications, tight dimensional tolerances and compatibility with the respective system may be particularly relevant.

Tubing and Capillaries for Laboratories, Analytics and Industry

In laboratory equipment, analytical instruments and automated fluidic systems, tubing must operate reliably and fit within the available installation space. Medical and pharmaceutical applications also place emphasis on suitability for the fluid being handled and the required material properties. Industrial applications may involve specific requirements for pressure, temperature and chemical resistance.

You can find an overview of the available tubing categories in our tubing overview. This provides an overview of the different tubing solutions and helps you narrow down the selection according to your requirements.

How to Find the Right Solution

To select suitable tubing and capillaries, first define the fluid being transferred and the operating conditions. Then check the required dimensions, operating pressure and temperature ranges, as well as any specific requirements for material compatibility and mechanical properties.

When tubing is used in pumps, analytical instruments or customised fluidic systems, it is also useful to consider the tubing as part of the complete system. This helps match the material, dimensions and functionality to the individual application.
