Metal tubing includes metal tube products with specific characteristics to suit various applications. Copper tubing is a ductile metal with inherent antimicrobial properties and corrosion resistance for plumbing and HVAC applications. Stainless steel tubing is corrosion- and chemical-resistant against many caustic chemicals, fluids, and gases used in pharmaceutical production, food and beverage manufacturing, and petrochemical applications. Multipurpose steel tubing withstands a wide temperature range and high pressures in chemical processing and hydraulic systems. Lightweight aluminum tubing provides corrosion resistance when transferring water, air, oil, and hydraulic fluids in transportation, marine, and appliance applications. Heat-resistant nickel-chromium tubing is nonmagnetic, corrosion resistant, and withstands high temperatures in chemical and food processing applications.
