Catalog Number - 46200-01F

The 46200‑01F HPLC Tubing Finishing File is a precision hand tool designed for post‑cut finishing of stainless steel tubing, ensuring clean, smooth tubing ends for reliable chromatography connections.

When stainless steel tubing is scored, cut, or snapped, the resulting edge often contains burrs, rough surfaces, or irregularities that can:

• Prevent proper sealing with ferrules and fittings

• Cause leaks or poor connection integrity

• Introduce dead volume or flow disruption

This file is specifically engineered with the appropriate surface finish to remove burrs and refine the tubing edge, producing a smooth, uniform tip that is suitable for installation in HPLC systems.

Proper tubing preparation is a critical step in maintaining:

• Leak‑free connections

• Consistent flow paths

• Reliable chromatographic performance

This tool is an essential complement to tubing cutters and scoring tools, completing the tubing preparation process before installation.

Why Use a Tubing Finishing File?

After cutting or scoring stainless steel tubing, untreated edges can lead to:

• Poor ferrule seating

• Damaged fittings or sealing surfaces

• Increased dead volume at connections

• Inconsistent pressure and flow

The 46200‑01F file ensures:

• Smooth, burr‑free tubing ends

• Proper seating of ferrules and fittings

• Improved sealing and reduced leak risk

• More consistent and reproducible chromatography results
