Nickel 200 Capillary Tubes – Excellent Corrosion Resistance for Chemical Processing

Nickel 200 Capillary Tubes – Excellent Corrosion Resistance for Chemical Processing

When it comes to handling aggressive chemicals and demanding process conditions, material selection becomes absolutely critical. At our company, we’ve worked with customers across the chemical and petrochemical sectors who face one key challenge: corrosion. That’s why Nickel 200 capillary tubes have become a top-tier choice for many of our industrial partners.

What Makes Nickel 200 Special?
Nickel 200 is a commercially pure (99.6% minimum) wrought nickel with outstanding mechanical properties and excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. Unlike many alloyed materials, its purity offers advantages in both oxidizing and reducing conditions.
These tubes are especially effective in:
Caustic alkali environments
Neutral and alkaline salt solutions
Dry gases like hydrogen and fluorine at moderate temperatures
One of the standout properties is that Nickel 200 resists corrosion even in harsh alkaline environments, where many stainless steels and other alloys break down over time.

Why Capillary Tubes?
Capillary tubes, with their ultra-fine internal diameters, are used in applications that demand precision flow control, tight tolerances, and resistance to leakage under pressure. In chemical processing, they’re commonly found in:
Instrumentation systems
Chemical sampling lines
Flow meters
High-purity gas or fluid transport
When those systems involve caustic substances or high-temperature service, Nickel 200 capillary tubes offer unmatched reliability.

Applications Across Industries
While chemical processing is the primary domain, we’ve also seen increasing demand in:
Power generation – especially in nuclear applications
Pharmaceuticals – where purity and non-reactivity matter
Aerospace – for fluid delivery systems
Electronics manufacturing – particularly in wafer fabrication
In each of these industries, safety, uptime, and material stability are key, and that’s exactly where Nickel 200 proves its value.

Market and Industry Trends
The global demand for corrosion-resistant alloys continues to grow, especially with the expansion of green energy, water treatment, and battery production sectors. Nickel-based materials, including Nickel 200, are riding that trend thanks to:
Growing chemical output in Asia-Pacific
Stricter environmental compliance standards
A shift toward high-efficiency, low-maintenance equipment
Our clients are increasingly prioritizing long-term material performance over short-term savings, especially in critical systems where a single failure could mean a shutdown.

Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, Nickel 200 capillary tubes are more than just a product — they’re a smart investment in process stability, safety, and long-term cost efficiency. If your systems are dealing with corrosive chemicals or require precision tubing that performs under pressure, it’s worth taking a serious look at what Nickel 200 can offer.
