Brief Description
These are industrial-grade, blunt-tipped dispensing needles featuring a 22-gauge stainless steel cannula, 1/2-inch in length, securely bonded to a black polypropylene Luer-Lock hub. Designed for precise and controlled application of various industrial fluids, they are unsterilized and intended strictly for non-medical, industrial, and craft applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precision application of adhesives, glues, and epoxies- Dispensing solvents, inks, oils, and chemicals- Applying lubricants in tight spaces- Solder paste and flux gel dispensing in electronics assembly- Detailed epoxy work and model building- Refilling ink cartridges and small area cleaning- Science experiments and laboratory tasks- Injecting flavorings or fillings in food and beverage (non-direct contact)- Applying cosmetics and skincare products
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics (for SMT, PCB repair, component bonding)- Automotive Service/Repair (for lubricants and adhesives)- Chemical Industry (for precise chemical dispensing)- Fabrication (metal and plastic)- Aerospace/Defense (for bonding and sealing)- Medical Device/Prosthetics (for manufacturing processes, not direct medical use)- Artist, Artisan (for crafts, paints, and detailed work)- Colleges & Universities (for laboratory and educational purposes)- Engineering Services- Industrial Supply- Packaging Services or Contractor- Construction/Building Services (for glues, caulks)
Special and Unique Features
- **Luer-Lock Hub:** Ensures a secure, leak-free connection to syringe barrels, dispense bottles, or automated dispensing systems.- **Blunt Tip:** Designed for safety and industrial use, preventing accidental pokes or scratches.- **Stainless Steel Cannula:** Provides durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance.- **22-Gauge Diameter:** Offers a specific flow rate suitable for various fluid viscosities.- **Color-Coded (Black):** Standardized color coding for easy identification of the 22-gauge size.- **Silicone-Free:** Manufactured in a silicone-free environment, crucial for certain sensitive applications.
Key Properties
- **Material:** 304 Stainless Steel cannula with a polypropylene Luer-Lock hub.- **Gauge:** 22 Gauge (ID: 0.020” / 0.508 mm, OD: 0.028” / 0.711 mm).- **Length:** 1/2-inch (12.7mm) cannula length.- **Connection Type:** Push-On & Luer-Lock compatible.- **Tip Type:** Blunt end.- **Industrial Grade:** Safe for use up to 100 psi fluid pressures.
Surface Compatibility
These dispensing tips are compatible with a wide range of surfaces and materials, as they are designed to dispense various fluids onto different substrates. The stainless steel cannula is resistant to many chemicals, ensuring broad compatibility with adhesives, solvents, paints, and other industrial liquids.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Different Gauge Sizes:** Available in a wide range of gauges (e.g., 10Ga to 34Ga) to control flow rate for different fluid viscosities.- **Flexible Dispensing Tips:** Made with PTFE or polypropylene tubing for scratch-free results or reaching curved areas.- **Tapered Dispensing Tips:** All-plastic, one-piece tips designed for easier flow of thicker adhesives or viscous materials by reducing backpressure.- **PTFE-Lined Dispensing Tips:** Resist clogging of cyanoacrylates, anaerobics, and other epoxies.- **All-Metal Dispensing Tips:** For heavy usage and specific chemical resistances.- **Angled Dispensing Tips:** For hard-to-reach areas.- **Brush Dispensing Tips:** For spreading, coating, or dabbing low-viscosity materials.
Comparison Note
The Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tips (Steel 1/2-Inch Black 22-Gauge) offer a balance of precision, durability, and chemical resistance due to their stainless steel cannula and secure Luer-Lock connection. While other tip types like tapered or flexible tips cater to highly viscous or delicate applications, this standard steel blunt tip is a versatile choice for a broad spectrum of industrial dispensing needs, particularly where robust construction and consistent flow are paramount. Its 22-gauge size provides a controlled flow suitable for many common industrial fluids, distinguishing it from finer or coarser gauges.
