Double wall copper brazed steel tubing, also know as Bundy tube or Bundyweld tube, is the economical alternative to seamless tube. It has many of the same qualities as seamless tubing and is suitable for most high pressure applications.
We are offering Bundyweld tubes of regular sizes, and at the same time capable of fabricating tubes of customized sizes.
Bundy tubes of the following table listed sizes are feasible to manufacture; among them, thickness of 0.7mm and 1mm are available in stock most of the time or to be produced upon being ordered.

We are capable of fabricating Bundy tube sizes which are not regularly used. By combining one or more processes of cold draw and annealing, Bundy tubes can be made to many other sizes to meet demands for special applications.
