We are custom bending Stainless steel, 3/8 .035 wall tubing to be used for vacuum emission probes for the state.
These probes have 12 holes drilled in specific locations. They have custom handles being held on by a 2 part epoxy, and the one end has a stainless steel plug welded into the end. The other end is flared to a .470 diameter to accept a JIC fitting. The JIC fitting is then attached to a vacuum pump which draws the vehicle exhaust into the testing equipment for analysis.
So, in one piece you have, cutting, bending, drilling, flaring, welding, gluing, reaming, and attaching fittings.
