Ferrule Tubing Assemblies
FOREACH ferrule tubing assemblies combine matching fittings, ferrules and tubing for fluid connections in in-vitro diagnostic and automated analytical instruments. No pre-flanging is required: the fitting compresses the ferrule to retain and seal the tubing. Equipment development, assembly to drawing and batch production are supported.
Select FEP, PTFE or PFA tubing matched to the ferrule structure. Depending on the series, fittings are available in PPS, PVDF, PEEK, POM or PP; ferrules are available in PP or ETFE. Standard and compact structures fit M6×1 or 1/4-28 UNF flat-bottom ports. Tube OD options are 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.2 mm, with FEP IDs spanning 0.3–2.0 mm in listed pairs. Specify length, A/B connections, stop tubes and identification. Match ferrules to tube OD and assemble in the specified orientation and at the specified torque.
FOREACH holds ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management system certifications.
Typical Applications:
Reagent line connections, Cleaning-fluid line connections, Internal instrument fluid connections, Custom fluid-path assembly

These are available tubing sizes. Confirm end dimensions and mating ports against the assembly drawing.
Match fitting material, structure and thread to the corresponding model.
Working pressure and temperature must be confirmed for the specific assembly configuration.
Ferrule Tubing Applications & Customization
Equipment development, assembly to drawing, sample development and batch production are supported.
Instrument fluid-path integration
Assemblies for in-vitro diagnostic and automated analytical instruments are selected against the actual reagent, cleaning fluid and connection requirements.
Tubing configuration
Select material, dimensions, length and end connections for the installation.
Assembly drawings and dimensions
Provide tube ID/OD, finished length and tolerance, length measurement datum, A/B port drawings, fitting materials, threads and installation space. Show stop and label positions and dimensions on the assembly drawing.
Fluids, pressure and temperature
Specify the working fluid, concentration, cleaning fluid, contact time, pressure, temperature and inspection requirements to confirm wetted materials and the complete assembly.
Installation and mating ports
Check ferrule orientation, tube insertion depth and fitting tightening requirements. Assemble to the drawing and specified torque; avoid tension and sharp bends.
Quality documents and delivery
FOREACH holds ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management system certifications. Applicable REACH and RoHS reports and material safety data sheets (MSDS) can be supplied for relevant connection components according to material and model.
