Product Name
Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) Family - Steel 1/2-Inch Pink 18-Gauge
Brief Description
These are industrial-grade dispensing tips featuring a 304 stainless steel cannula with a 1/2-inch length and an 18-gauge diameter, identified by a pink color-coded Luer-Lock hub. They are designed for precise and controlled application of various industrial fluids and are compatible with standard Luer-Lock syringe barrels and dispensing systems.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precise dispensing of adhesives, glues, epoxies, and sealants- Application of solvents, inks, oils, and chemicals- Microdot application of low to medium viscosity fluids- Potting and encapsulation of components- Coating in precision electronic devices- Automated dispensing systems for accurate and repeatable fluid application
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/Building Services- Electrical Services or Products / LED/Electronics- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor- General Manufacturing- Medical Device/Prosthetics (for manufacturing and assembly of devices, not for medical use)- Metal Fabrication- Mold Making/Casting- Packaging Services or Contractor- Plastic Fabrication- Sign & Display- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Luer-Lock hub for secure, leak-free attachment to dispensing systems- 18-gauge (pink color-coded) for specific flow rates and precision- Steel (304 stainless steel) cannula for durability and chemical resistance- Burr-free and electro-polished shaft for unobstructed and consistent material flow- UV-bonded cannula to the hub for enhanced durability- Industrial grade, silicone-free, and chloride-free, safe for use up to 100 psi- Tapered internal design where the shaft meets the hub to improve fluid flow and reduce backpressure
Key Properties
- Material: 304 Stainless Steel cannula, Polypropylene Luer-Lock hub- Gauge: 18 Gauge (Pink color-coded)- Length: 1/2-inch (12.7mm)- Connection Type: Luer-Lock (Push-On compatible)- Pressure Rating: Industrial grade safe for use up to 100 psi- Chemical Compatibility: Good with various fluids including adhesives, solvents, inks, oils, epoxies, and pastes- Flow: Burr-free, electro-polished shaft for unobstructed and consistent flow
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with a wide range of surfaces depending on the dispensed material.- Suitable for applications requiring precise deposition on small or intricate surfaces.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other brands of industrial dispensing tips with similar gauge, length, and Luer-Lock connection (e.g., Nordson EFD, Techcon, Sulzer, MixPac, PVA)- Tips made from different materials like all-plastic (tapered), flexible polypropylene, or PTFE-lined for specific fluid types or scratch-sensitive applications- Different gauge sizes for varying flow rates and material viscosities
Comparison Note
These steel tips offer a balance of durability and precision for general-purpose industrial dispensing. They are more robust than all-plastic tips for certain applications but may not be suitable for highly corrosive materials or scratch-sensitive surfaces where PTFE-lined or flexible tips would be preferred. The 18-gauge provides a specific flow rate, which might need adjustment (different gauge) for very thin or very thick fluids. They are explicitly for industrial use and not sterile for medical applications.
