Questions & Answers
UHP tubing is the short for Ultra High Purity tubing. UHP tubing usually is electropolished stainless steel tubing with ultra high purity, cleanliness and smoothness inner surface. The inner surface roughness of UHP tubing can be as good as Ra0.25 μm or 10RA(10μin). The most popular material for UHP tubes is stainless steel 316L (EN 1.4404).
Our high performance stainless steel tubing factory is a leading China Ultra-high purity tubing manufacturer. Our UHP tubing has advantages as below.
- Top quality raw materials

- Flexible and fast delivery time
If customer agrees or wishes, we will mark each tube with laser marking, the marking usually including:
- Manufacturer Name: Younglee (if the customer wants, we can also mark with themselves’ company name)
- Corresponding Standard as: ASTM A269/ A632/ A270; EN 10216-5
- Steel Grade: 316L / 1.4404
- Dimension: O.D(outer diameter) x W.T (wall thickness) x length
- Heat Number.
If the customer wish, the above markings will be on the packing bags or with a label. This is sometimes for the electro-polished stainless steel tubing.
Each tube will be capped in the ends with plastic caps, every electropolished UHP tubing will be packed in double polyethylene bags. And then the well packed tubes will be put into a wooden case.
We can pack the ultra-high purity Stainless steel tubing in our class 10 clean room.
Our electropolished (EP) ultra high purity tubes & pipes are chemically cleaned and passivated to keep nonvolatile residue levels to comply with ASTM G93 or SEMI E 49.6.
Each Ultra-High Purity (UHP) tube &pipe can be rinsed with 18MΩ di water and purged with 99.9995% filtered nitrogen and are packed in our class 10 clean room.
