We offer a wide range of screw joints. A screw joint system
to your requirements might already exist. If not, custom screw joints can be offered and supplied. Please contact us.
» Howdoclosetolerancesaffectthepriceoftubing?
In general, close tolerances increase the price for production because expenses for checking the tubing are higher and
there can be more waste of tubing which does not fulfil
these close tolerances. It can even occur that a production is not possible if the tolerances are too close – in this case we will contact you to find a solution.
