The appropriate temperatures range from 1000°C to 1150 °C. The duration depends on the equipment, the type of process and the experience with the material. info@vascotube.com | imprint Surface 316 LVM tubing exhibit flawless and shiny outer surfaces. The roughness values Ra may be even lower than the usual 0,4 µm. On the outer diameter profilometry is used to determine the roughness values. The surface quality of the inner surface depends on the wall thickness/outer diameter ratio. With smaller diameter tubing low roughness values of the inner tubing surface are more difficult to achieve. Generally the surface quality of the tubes is determined by the inner tooling and the processing sequence. Vascotube® employees apply their utmost diligence to reach even better roughness values of 0,4 µm.
