| Grit / Finish | Ra (µin) | Ra (µm) |
|---|---|---|
| 180 grit | 30 | 0.76 |
| 220 grit | 19 | 0.48 |
| 240 grit | 15 | 0.38 |
| 320 grit | 9 | 0.23 |
| Electropolished (Mirror) | 4 | 0.10 |
Ra = arithmetic mean surface roughness; lower is smoother. EP finishes improve cleanability and corrosion resistance.
Benefits
Electropolishing Advantages
Electropolished (EP) tubing provides superior performance in high-purity applications.
Superior Cleanability & Sterilization
Mirror-smooth finish eliminates micro-pores and defects for maximum hygiene.
Passivated, Corrosion-Resistant Surface
Active oxidation process creates a protective chromium-oxide layer against chemical attack.
High-Luster Reflective Finish
Professional appearance with enhanced visual inspection and product visibility.
Removal of Burrs, Folds & Inclusions
Electrolytic process cleanses the surface of manufacturing defects.
Reduced Surface Friction
Smooth topography minimizes product entrapment and facilitates faster cleaning cycles.
Easier to Clean the Wet Contact Area
Lower surface roughness reduces biofilm attachment and improves SIP/CIP efficiency.
