RathGibson's 6" OD product line includes both SFT1 and SFT4 finishes that fulfill the stringent ASME BPE and ASTM A270 S2 specifications. Crafted with 316L stainless steel, RathGibson's 6" OD tubing is bore scoped and polished to minimize surface anomalies and reduce corrosion and pathogen contamination.
Mechanically polished with RathGibson's proprietary finishing processes, the 6" OD High Purity Stainless Steel tubing is SFT1 finished with 20 μ-in Ra (0.5 μm) ID maximum and 30 μ-in Ra (0.8 μm) OD maximum. To maintain high purity, the tubing is packaged with plastic end caps in 2 mil poly sleeving which is boxed in heavy wall cardboard sleeves.
For their Ultra High Purity tubing, RathGibson electropolishes its 6" OD tubing to a SFT4 finish with a 15 μ-in Ra (0.4 μm) ID maximum and 30 μ-in Ra (0.8 μm) OD maximum.
