Cold flanging tool set improves reliability of polymer tubing connections

10 Feb, 2026

The Flanging Tool Set (Catalogue 45099 002) from Microsolv is a trusted solution for creating consistent, high-quality flanges on polymer tubing used in chromatography and general laboratory systems. It forms flanges through a mechanical cold flanging process, providing stable, long-lasting connections ideal for low-pressure applications.

Each kit is supplied fully equipped for routine tubing preparation and maintenance. It includes five flanging drills with stainless steel, plastic, or titanium pins in 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.3 mm sizes, a Clean-Cut tubing cutter for smooth, deformation-free cuts, a 2 metre PTFE tubing sample (1/16" ID × 0.75" OD), tubing connectors and rings, and a durable plastic carrying case for organised storage and transport.

The tool set is compatible with a wide range of soft and semi-hard polymer materials, including PTFE, FEP, PE, ETFE, PP, and Tefzel. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for laboratory plumbing and equipment setups where leak-free, low-pressure sealing is essential.
