SHENZHEN BENXIN ELECTRONIC HARDWARE CO., LTD
Product Details
Supplier: SHENZHEN BENXIN ELECTRONIC HARDWARE CO., LTD.
1. Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
We supply high-precision small inner diameter food-grade stainless steel tubes in grades 304 and 316, engineered for applications where hygiene, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality are critical. Manufactured from selected stainless steel raw material and processed through precision machining lines, our tubes feature thin, uniform walls, smooth inner and outer surfaces, and excellent corrosion resistance — making them a reliable choice for medical, industrial, and consumer products.
Every tube is produced with tight dimensional control and consistent wall thickness, and can be customized in outer diameter, wall thickness, and length to match your design and application requirements. Whether you need standard sizes in volume or fully customized specifications, we deliver parts that meet your drawing and tolerance needs.
1.2 Material Grades
| Grade | Features | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 304 | Excellent corrosion resistance, good formability and weldability, cost-effective | General food contact, industrial tubing, consumer products |
| 316 | Added molybdenum for superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and saline environments | Medical instruments, pharmaceutical and chemical environments, marine/high-corrosion applications |
| 304L / 316L (on request) | Low-carbon variants with improved weldability | Welded assemblies and heavy fabrication |

Both grades offer the clean, non-toxic, easy-to-clean characteristics required for food-grade and medical-grade applications. Food contact safety, hygiene, and long service life are the foundations of our product quality.

2. Process Introduction
Our tubes and precision components are produced through a complete in-house manufacturing chain — from raw material inspection to finished, inspected parts. Our workshop is equipped with CNC machining lines and full sheet metal fabrication capabilities.
2.1 CNC Precision Machining
CNC machining is the core of our manufacturing capability:
- CNC turning — precise OD/ID turning and profiling of tube ends and cylindrical parts
- CNC milling — slots, holes, flats, and complex geometries on components
- Drilling, tapping & threading — accurate hole positions and thread quality
- Chamfering & deburring — clean edges, burr-free surfaces ready for assembly
CNC machining gives us repeatable dimensional accuracy, tight tolerances, and the flexibility to handle both prototypes and volume production.
2.2 Sheet Metal Fabrication
In addition to CNC machining, we provide complete sheet metal fabrication services:
- Laser / CNC cutting — precise cutting of sheets and plates
- CNC bending — accurate bends with consistent angles
- Stamping & forming — enclosures, brackets, covers, and chassis parts
- Welding — clean, reliable welds for assemblies and frames
- Surface treatment — powder coating, polishing, and passivation to protect and finish parts
This makes us a one-stop partner for metal components and assemblies — from small precision parts to sheet metal enclosures and structural frames.
2.3 Tube Production Flow
Our stainless steel tube line follows a controlled production sequence:
- Raw material inspection — incoming material checked for grade, dimension, and surface quality
- Precision cutting — tubes cut to length with clean, square ends
- End processing — chamfering and deburring for safe, assembly-ready ends
- Surface processing — bright annealing / polishing to achieve the required surface finish
- Cleaning — degreasing and cleaning to remove processing residue
- Final inspection — dimensional checks, surface quality inspection, and count verification
- Packaging & delivery — protective packaging to prevent damage and contamination
2.4 Quality Control
- Dimensional inspection — OD, ID, wall thickness, and length verified against order requirements
- Surface inspection — visual and touch-check for scratches, pits, and defects
- Batch traceability — each order inspected and controlled through the production flow
- Custom inspection items — additional tests (e.g., cleanliness, mechanical properties) available on request
We build quality into the process — not just the final check — so you receive consistent parts, order after order.
3. Application Scenarios
Small inner diameter food-grade stainless steel tubes serve three major application fields: medical, industrial, and consumer. In each field, the same material qualities — hygiene, corrosion resistance, and precision — deliver reliable performance.
3.1 Medical Applications
In medical and healthcare equipment, material safety and dimensional precision are non-negotiable.
- Precision medical instruments — components of surgical and diagnostic instruments
- Puncture / cannula-type parts — thin-walled tubes with precise ID for fluid and instrument passage
- Dental instruments — small-diameter tubes for dental handpieces and tools
- Medical device tubing — instrument lines, housings, and structural sleeves
- Laboratory & pharmaceutical equipment — corrosion-resistant, cleanable tubing
Why stainless steel tubes fit: non-toxic, sterilizable, corrosion-resistant, and dimensionally precise — meeting the strict hygiene requirements of the healthcare industry.
3.2 Industrial Applications
Industrial environments demand tubes that withstand pressure, corrosion, temperature, and continuous operation.
- Instrumentation & gauge lines — precise small-ID tubing for pressure and flow measurement
- Pneumatic & hydraulic lines — reliable fluid and air transmission
- Sensor housings & probes — protective and structural sleeves for sensing elements
