Hello: I am a laymen when it comes to this topic so please excuse me if the answer to my question is apparent. I am trying to phrase a certain problem which I can only technically describe as a form of capillary action. The scenario is that I have a small diameter tube where air flows through...

Just an update, The self-fixture design regarding bending the metal failed to hold the tube in place as it would twist from its own weight. I took the metal to a shop and had it both spot welded and TIG welded and both destroyed the metal as it was too thin. Any other thoughts? Does anyone...

The shim is only bonded to the smaller tube so it can be removed from the larger tube when needed. Friction seems to be enough to hold the smaller tube with shim in place within the larger tube. I have not tried bending the shim yet but if it can be done and self-fixturing then it would be...

Here is another image http://img404.imageshack.us/i/tubeintube2.png/ This image shows the shim metal in place attached to the inner tube which allows the inner tube to stay in place within the larger tube. I hope this image clears up the idea of the shim metal being used to hold the small tube...

I drew up a basic sketch in paint and uploaded it to the following link http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9883/tubeintube.png

I need to secure the small 0.25 OD tube within a half inch tube opening (also about half inch in length) and I was going to use the shim metal to hold it in place as it needs to have a very low profile within the larger tube and also have a nice appearance. I was not able to locate any type...

Both 3M and Master-Bond replied to my inquiry and told me they had no products that would fit my problem... seems odd.

I am not flaring the tube, the bond area is fairly small, half inch wide shim metal bonded to the side of the tube. With regards to the tickness of the metal, the tube is .25 OD, and the shim metal is 3 thou Will Micro-tig destroy such thin metal?

Yes I am referring to epoxy adhesives. Do you recommend any particular NSF-61 epoxy products which would provide a strong bond between stainless steel products? The temperatures I'm working with will be average room temperatures. Thanks.

Hello: I am working on a drinking container where I have to adhere 304 stainless steel tubing to 301 full hard stainless steel shim metal. I am not able to weld the two materials together so I was looking at cold welding the two items together. However, after the cold weld has set it will be...

Hello: I am looking for a miniature ball or poppet style valve that can be manually depressed. I am looking for cracking pressures under .1mbar so I can not think of any other solution. I have found duckbill valves can not offer the cracking pressure needed within the size range for my project...

Swagelok doesn't appear to offer a solution to this problem. However a single barbed fitting would probably work well, even if its made from plastic (able to withstand higher temperatures though). The fitting could be pushed into the inside of the tube and the barb would hold it in place...

Hello: I am installing a silicone tube (about 10mm diameter) into a hole drilled into a flat piece of steel about 1mm thick. The tube is inserted into the hole and has a flange at the end so it doesn't fall through. I am searching for a part that I can use to seal and hold the flanged tube in...
