What is Coaxial stainless steel tubing & COAX tube fittings?
Coaxial stainless steel tubing & fittings are designed for delivery of special gas such as volatile or toxic gases. This product is known as Containment tube also, and is called COAX tube and COAX fitting for short sometimes.
A coaxial tube usually is consist of a process tube and a safety tube. The process tube is the inner tube, while the safety tube is the outer tube. So coaxial tube system is also known as twin wall tube system or double wall tube systems. The function of spacers is to center the process tube and ensure the gas flow between the outer and inner tube. They also act as a safety mechanism in the event of a process tube leak. Any escaping medium flows (gas or liquid) into the safety space, where it can be neutralized and safely discharged from the system.
Process tubes are supplied with the electropolished surface finish and specifications as our single wall electro polished tube and EP fittings. Our factory has a full range types of coaxial tube fittings (a fitting-within-a-fitting) such as 90-degree elbows, 45° elbows, equal tees, reducing tees and reducers.
