Definition of Capillary Tube - for Capillary Tube Suppliers:
A capillary tube is a very
thin tube. (Usually about 1/2 mm across on the inside.) They can be made
out of glass, plastic, metal, etc. Glass capillary tubes are probably
the most common and are frequently used by biologists and chemists because
you can use them for experiments where you only have a very small sample
to work with.
Small hollow tubes which penetrate the spacer system of an insulating
glass unit. They allow pressure equalization between manufacturing locations,
shipping, and installation locations. Since the insulating glass unit
is not permanently sealed, the air space cannot be filled with Argon gas.
One of the things that makes
capillary tubes so useful is called 'capillary action.' If you stick the
open end of a capillary tube into water, the water will draw itself right
up into the tube. The reason for this is that water really likes to stick
to things like glass or plastic. So the water pulls itself up the inside
of the plastic, sticking to the sides and staying inside.
A very small metal tube which
is factory placed into insulated glass to accommodate air pressure differences.
Capillary tubes are not sealed after installation.
