Tubes & Fittings
MINOX® provides stainless steel tubes and fittings for data center liquid cooling and fluid system applications, supporting cooling distribution units (CDUs), cooling loops and second-loop piping. Our range supports fluid routing and equipment connections, with options including elbows, tees, reducers and clamp connections. Material selection and component specifications help address coolant compatibility, flow requirements, operating pressure and temperature to support reliable fluid system integrity.
FAQ
1. What types of fittings are used in CDU and cooling-loop piping?
2. Which stainless steel grade is suitable for data center liquid cooling tubes and fittings?
Stainless steel 304 and 316L may be suitable, depending on coolant chemistry, corrosion exposure and system requirements.
3. Why are stainless steel tubes and fittings used in data center liquid cooling systems?
Stainless steel tubes and fittings provide durable fluid pathways with corrosion resistance suitable for compatible coolants and specified operating conditions.
4. Why is stainless steel commonly used in data center liquid cooling systems?
Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, durability and compatibility with many water-based coolants, making it suitable for CDU piping, manifolds, tubes and fittings when specified for the system conditions.
5. Why may sanitary-grade stainless steel tubes and fittings be preferred over standard industrial grades?
Sanitary-grade tubes and fittings can offer smoother internal surfaces, controlled surface finishes and consistent connection geometry, helping reduce particle retention and support fluid cleanliness in sensitive cooling circuits.
6. Which materials should be avoided or carefully evaluated in data center liquid cooling systems?
Material selection must follow coolant compatibility requirements; unsuitable metals, incompatible elastomers and unqualified plastics may corrode, degrade or release contaminants, while mixed-metal systems require assessment for galvanic corrosion.
