Heavy Wall Tubing is built to withstand high pressures.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 07:43:08 -0500

Tubing is available that has undergone autofrettage process, which subjects internal bore to pressure high enough to plastically deform it. This results in putting inner wall into compression, providing residual compressive stress once pressure is released. Use of this technique helps extend tube fatigue life.
