FlowTube Specifications

Plastic or metal joints are used to connect steel tubes (tube-to-tube / pipe-to-pipe) to make a rigid modular framework. A wide range of both plastic and metal joints allows the assembly of virtually any frame configuration.

The steel tubes are available in a choice of specifications for both normal and ESD tubes.  These include the finish of the tubes, thickness and colour. They are supplied in a standard length of 4,000 mm. (We are able to supply them cut to your specification, or built into your finished design)

Joints are available in both pressed metal components and plastic moulded joints.

Reusable metal joints allow for modifications, adjustments and reconstruction of FlowTube structures.  There are over 30 different joints and component combinations. They are supplied in the following finishes:

  • Zinc Plated metal joints
