ASTM A270 Sanitary Tube TP304 Stainless Steel Seamless Tube with NPT Thread End

ASTM A270 TP304 Seamless Stainless Steel Sanitary Tubing NPT Thread End

NPT threads are designed to create a tight seal when connected to compatible fittings, reducing the risk of leaks in plumbing, gas, and hydraulic systems. Such connections can accommodate slight movements due to thermal expansion or contraction, helping to maintain the integrity of the system under varying temperatures.

ASTM A270 sanitary tubing constructed to be easy to clean and free of any crevices where bacteria can grow, ensuring hygienic transport of fluids. It often polished to a high sheen, these tubes meet stringent cleanliness standards, vital in food and pharmaceutical industries. Some clients require higher mechanical properties, they require non-annealed heat treatment. Non-annealed stainless steel typically has higher tensile and yield strength due to work hardening that occurs during processing, but it less suitable for applications requiring significant deformation or bending.
