- Benefits and Features
75% Reduction in Weight - One-fourth the weight of steel or brass and 25 percent lighter than aluminum, fiberglass epoxy tubing is easier to handle, shortens assembly times and reduces the stress loads on component parts.; Superior Corrosion Resistance - Offers significant reduction in lifecycle costs due to its trouble-free performance in chemical, high-moisture, salt water and other adverse environments.; Electrical Insulator - Prevents the flow of electric current.; Storage Capacity - We can stock products to meet your JIT, MRP, or KAN BAN requirements.; Shape Stability and Impact Resistance - Retains its circular shape and will not dent like metals. Material impact strength is 40 lzod ft-lbs.; Excellent Thermal Stability - With a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, fiberglass epoxy tubing operates efficiently from -50 °F to 250 °F.; Non-Magnetic Material - Will not interfere with magnetic fields, making it ideal for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) applications.
- Certifications and Compliance
- ISO 9001
