Types of End Cap

1. Round end caps

Most tubing is round with various diameters and different end caps of the same shape. This type of end cap is common for tubing applications and has numerous styles that may come in caps or plugs.Some round caps may screw into the pipe, while others cover it by pushing them on until secure. The convenience and availability make these end caps great choices for your tubing application and will help you with your construction needs.

2. Square end caps

You'll need square end caps for finishing work when you have square tubing for fences, furniture, or construction needs. This cap is a specific type of finishing end cap for tubing applications because it only works for square tubing. The caps will either have a seal with tapered ribs that add layers of security at the end of the pipe or a plastic extension that fits perfectly over the tubing shape.Use these caps for your square tubing to add to the benefits of its durability and convenient building shape. Without the caps, the tube will deteriorate and lose its reliability in sustaining weight, making stacks of square tubes challenging to maintain.

3. Long plastic end caps

The length of these end caps will help you provide more coverage to your tubing. The end cap is significantly longer than other end caps and will move over more of the tube to supply a better cover that'll prevent any corrosion from creeping along the length of the tube.The buildup of dirt or moisture won't become a problem, as the length will cover the end and some of the tube's inner length. Apply these end caps for finishing work that must remain clear of harmful materials for long periods.

4. Tapered end caps

A tapered plug is useful in numerous applications and will work as a plug or a cap. This tubing end cap plug has an extended part that will cover the tubing regardless of its end. Flip the cap and insert it into the tube's opening, and the flat rim will act as a stopper to prevent it from falling in deeper and to make it easy to remove.

High and low density polyethylene are highly resistant materials that ensure the quality of both handling and the result. As well as polycarbonate (ABS) for chrome plating, and thermoplastic rubber for anti-slip surfaces. And, of course, these materials must meet their own quality standards. In other words, related to their thermal endurance, greater or lesser degrees of hardness and response to adverse conditions.

Design and production processes

We start the production design process by designing the parts, which may be in our catalogue or made on demand, according to the specific needs of the customer. In all cases, we make sure to include everything necessary to fulfil its purpose in the planning of the element (external fins, splines, split fin, external ribs, etc.). Then we use our own injectors, manufactured with calibrated steels. And we also the most advanced technology in terms of computerised mechanisation. This phase is fundamental, because it is necessary to check the optimum matching and fastening of the end cap to the place where it will fit. In other words that its measurements are correct.

Tests under controlled conditions

As with any product, quality control for an end cap must include testing the result. And that means it is necessary to verify its resilience and durability under the conditions in which it will be used.Meanwhile, when the end cap is to be used as an anti-slip device, its appropriateness must be empirically proven by means of the necessary tests. The same is true when its uses are geared towards eliminating noise or avoiding marks on the floor.
