Product Name
Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) Family - Steel 1-Inch Red 24-Gauge
Brief Description
The Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tip is a precision-engineered, blunt-end industrial-grade component designed for the controlled and accurate application of various fluids. It features a durable 304 stainless steel cannula, a 1-inch length, and a 24-gauge (red color-coded) fine bore, making it suitable for precise dispensing tasks. The tip utilizes a polypropylene Luer-Lock hub, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection to dispensing equipment. These tips are non-sterile and intended strictly for industrial applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Applying adhesives such as epoxies, SMT adhesives, super glues, anaerobic adhesives, and cyanoacrylates.- Dispensing sealants for bonding and sealing components.- Controlled application of lubricants and greases.- Potting of electronic components.- Precision coating in electronic devices and micro-components.- Injecting flavorings or fillings in the food and beverage industry.- Precise application of cosmetics, skincare products, and fragrances.- Laboratory and scientific research for pipetting, sample preparation, and chemical dispensing.- Maintenance tasks, such as 3D printer maintenance.- Integration into automated dispensing systems for repeatable fluid application.- Dispensing materials into tight or hard-to-reach areas.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics (for micro-component bonding, thermal interface materials, SMT adhesives)- Automotive Service/Repair (for applying epoxies, lubricants, and sealants)- Medical Device/Prosthetics (for manufacturing processes requiring precision dispensing, not for direct medical use)- Chemical Industry (for dispensing various chemicals, solvents, and resins)- Aerospace/Defense (for precision bonding and sealant application)- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor (for injecting and depositing food-grade materials)- Artist, Artisan (for crafting projects, applying resins, and glues)- Engineering Services- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services (for specialized sealing and bonding)- Industrial Supply- Colleges & Universities (for laboratory and research applications)
Special and Unique Features
- **Secure Luer-Lock Connection:** Features a double-helix threaded polypropylene hub for a secure, leak-free, twist-on attachment to syringes, valves, and automated systems.- **Durable Stainless Steel Cannula:** Constructed from 304 stainless steel, offering high durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand harsh chemicals and high temperatures without deforming.- **Precision 24-Gauge Bore:** A fine 24-gauge inner diameter (0.015 inches / 0.381 mm) allows for precise, small-volume dispensing of lower viscosity fluids.- **Blunt, Industrial Tip:** Designed with a blunt end for industrial use, ensuring safety and even material spread, unlike sharp medical needles.- **Burr-Free and Electro-Polished:** The cannula is polished and burr-free, ensuring unobstructed, consistent, and contamination-free material flow.- **International Color-Coding:** The red hub signifies the 24-gauge size according to international standards.- **Silicone-Free:** Manufactured in a silicone-free environment, preventing contamination of sensitive adhesives and materials.
Key Properties
- **Material:** 304 Stainless Steel cannula, Polypropylene Luer-Lock hub.- **Gauge:** 24 Gauge (Red).- **Length:** 1 inch.- **Connection Type:** Push-On & Luer-Lock.- **Inner Diameter (ID):** 0.015 inches (0.381 mm).- **Outer Diameter (OD):** 0.022 inches (0.559 mm).- **Pressure Rating:** Industrial grade, safe for use up to 100 psi.- **Chemical Resistance:** High, due to stainless steel construction.- **Temperature Resistance:** High, due to stainless steel construction.- **Flow Control:** Provides precision flow control for consistent and accurate fluid deposits.
Surface Compatibility
The Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tip is designed to accurately dispense various fluids onto a wide range of industrial surfaces. Its blunt tip design helps in spreading materials evenly. While the tip itself is rigid, its primary compatibility concern is with the fluid being dispensed, ensuring the stainless steel is resistant to chemical degradation. For applications requiring scratch-free dispensing on highly sensitive surfaces, alternative flexible tips might be considered.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Plastic Dispensing Tips:** More affordable and disposable, but with limited durability and chemical/temperature resistance.- **PTFE-Lined Dispensing Tips:** Excellent for low-viscosity fluids, resistant to clogging, particularly effective with cyanoacrylates and anaerobics.- **Flexible Polypropylene Tips:** Soft and flexible, ideal for applications requiring scratch-free results or dispensing into curved areas.- **Tapered Dispensing Tips (All-Plastic):** Suitable for medium-to-high viscosity fluids, designed to reduce backpressure and prevent clogging.- **Angled Dispensing Tips:** Used for precise application in hard-to-reach or confined spaces.- **Oval Dispensing Tips:** Designed for creating flat, consistent beads of high-viscosity materials.- **Brush Dispensing Tips:** For smooth, controlled application of low-viscosity liquids.- **Larger Gauge Stainless Steel Tips:** Offer higher flow rates and larger deposit sizes for less precise or higher volume applications.- **Ear Style Dispensing Tips:** An alternative connection style to the Luer-Lock hub.
Comparison Note
The Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tip, with its stainless steel construction and Luer-Lock hub, offers superior durability, chemical resistance, and temperature stability compared to standard plastic dispensing tips. While plastic tips are more economical and disposable, the steel tip provides consistent, high-precision dispensing for demanding industrial environments and aggressive fluids. The 24-gauge fine bore is optimized for precise, small-volume applications, contrasting with larger gauge tips that provide higher flow rates. The Luer-Lock mechanism ensures a more secure and leak-proof connection than simple push-on or friction-fit alternatives.
