Material certificates are available upon request for $10. Call or email to request a quote for additional discounts for orders of 200 pieces or more. No minimum order is required, but quantity breaks are available for 60' lengths. Component Supply stocks hypotubes in standard 30' and 60' lengths in multiple wall thicknesses: regular wall, thin wall, and extra thin wall. As wall thickness changes for a gauge size, the inside diameter changes while the outside diameter remains constant. Hypodermic tubing gauge sizes are based on the Birmingham Gauge, also known as Stubs Iron Wire Gauge, which references the outside diameter.
It is in the chromium-nickel austenitic alloy family, and because of its low carbon, it is preferable over 302 for applications requiring welding. It possesses a minimum of 18% chromium and 8% nickel with a maximum of 0.08% carbon. The 304 is a high-performance alloy and the most popular alloy for use in non-implantable medical devices.
Small diameter 304 hypodermic tubing is full hard, welded and drawn to tight tolerances and is an effective component for applications requiring strength, uniformity, and corrosion resistance.
