Special and Unique Features
- Tapered design facilitates smooth, consistent flow of medium to high viscosity materials, significantly reducing back pressure, clogging, and stringing.- Constructed from high-density molded polypropylene, offering good chemical resistance and durability.- Features a 24-gauge opening, color-coded red according to international standards for easy identification and precise dispensing.- Standardized 1.25-inch length for consistent application depth.- Compatible with both push-on and Luer-Lock dispensing systems, ensuring a secure, leak-free, and stable connection.- Provides scratch-free operation, making it ideal for use with sensitive parts and substrates.- Designed with a double-helix threaded hub for robust attachment.- Intended for industrial use only and is non-sterile.
Key Properties
- Promotes smooth and consistent fluid flow, especially for viscous materials.- Effectively reduces back pressure and minimizes the risk of clogging.- Ensures precise and repeatable dispensing for high-quality results.- Offers good chemical resistance due to its polypropylene construction.- Durable and reliable for demanding industrial applications.- Color-coded for quick and easy gauge identification, streamlining workflow.
Surface Compatibility
- These tips are designed to dispense fluids onto a wide variety of substrates where precise application is required.- Their scratch-free operation makes them particularly suitable for sensitive parts and delicate surfaces.- The ultimate surface compatibility is primarily determined by the material being dispensed and its interaction with the target surface, with the tip serving as a precision delivery tool.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Blunt end stainless steel tips:** Offer versatility for a broad range of viscosities but may require higher dispensing pressure for thicker materials.- **PTFE-lined tips:** Excellent for low-viscosity fluids, solvents, and cyanoacrylates, preventing premature curing, clogging, and wicking.- **Flexible polypropylene tips:** Ideal for preventing scratches on sensitive work surfaces and accessing hard-to-reach areas.- **Angled dispensing tips:** Specifically designed for precision application in tight or difficult-to-access locations.- **Brush dispensing tips:** Used for spreading, coating, or dabbing low-viscosity liquids evenly.- **Different gauge sizes:** Available to control flow rates and deposit sizes for various material viscosities and application requirements.- **Different lengths:** Offered to accommodate varying application depths and access needs.
Comparison Note
Jensen Tapered-Tip 24-Gauge Dispensing Tips are specifically engineered for superior performance with medium to high viscosity materials, offering a significantly smoother flow and reduced issues like clogging and stringing compared to general-purpose blunt-end tips. Their tapered design allows for the use of lower dispensing pressure and can lead to shorter dispense times, thereby improving overall efficiency and yield in production processes. While stainless steel tips may be preferred for highly aggressive chemicals, these all-plastic tapered tips provide excellent chemical resistance to many common industrial fluids and are crucial for applications requiring scratch-free contact with sensitive components. The Luer-Lock connection ensures a highly secure and leak-proof attachment to dispensing systems, offering a critical advantage in precision and safety over less secure push-on or slip-fit alternatives.
