Cardinal UHP Stick Tubing
AMETEK Cardinal UHP’s Ultra-High Purity (UHP) Stick Tubing is designed to meet the most stringent requirements of industries that demand contamination-free transport of high-purity gases and chemicals. Manufactured to exacting standards, this tubing is essential in critical applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and chemical processing, where maintaining the purity of process media is crucial. Cardinal UHP’s stick tubing offers unmatched quality, precision, and reliability for ultra-clean applications, helping prevent contamination and system failures that could compromise sensitive production environments.
Cardinal UHP’s stick tubing is made from 316L stainless or Hastelloy C22, which offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and a smooth, non-reactive inner surface. This tubing is subjected to rigorous cleaning, testing, and surface finishing processes to ensure minimal particle generation, which is critical in maintaining the purity of gases and liquids during transport. Its precision-engineered surface finish and tight tolerances make it ideal for applications where even trace contaminants can affect product quality or system integrity.
Available in standard lengths and a range of diameters from 1/8" to 1", Cardinal UHP stick tubing can be seamlessly integrated into various UHP systems for gas and chemical distribution. The tubing is often used in gas distribution systems for semiconductor fabrication or biotechnology cleanrooms, ensuring that high-purity gases are delivered without introducing particulates or contaminants. It is also widely used in pharmaceutical production for the precise handling of critical fluids and gases, helping ensure process consistency and compliance with industry standards like FDA, GMP, and ISO. In addition, the tubing's durability under extreme temperatures and pressures makes it suitable for chemical processing applications where purity, corrosion resistance, and reliability are critical.
