Stemware / Domestic glass

Tubing

Tubing forms the basis for many products such as (converted) pharmaceutical containers. Glass tubes (approximately 1.500mm long) are converted into many different products.

Typical inspection performed for these types of products include: • dimensional (length, wall thickness, >>) • cosmetic (cracks, inclusions, poor edge, fissures >>). More information about tubing >>. Or learn more about our visual inspection application for tubing inspection >>.
