Capillary Silicone Tubes: Risks of Uneven Wall Thickness & Solutions
Even a small deviation can lead to serious problems in actual application.
Since the inner diameter of capillary silicone tubes is extremely small, uneven wall thickness creates an inconsistent internal channel.
This results in fluctuating flow rates and inaccurate volume delivery.
such errors can directly reduce the accuracy of experimental data
and even affect drug dosage, creating potential safety risks.
Uneven wall thickness leads to uneven stress distribution.
Thinner areas lack sufficient strength and are prone to local fracture, bursting, or leakage
during bending, stretching, or high-pressure fluid transportation.
lowering both production and operating efficiency.
Size differences between batches require repeated equipment recalibration,
raising installation and maintenance costs.
tubes with uneven walls are more likely to deform or warp,
shortening service life and harming long-term stability.
By using high-precision molds and implementing rigorous online inspection,
manufacturers can keep wall thickness tolerances within standard ranges,
ensuring reliable performance of capillary silicone tubes in all applications.
