Surface Analysis

Harvel LXT® piping has a non-porous, exceptionally smooth interior surface that greatly reduces the potential for extractable and particle contamination while impeding bacterial growth. Harvel LXT® components (pipe and fittings) exhibit an average Roughness Analysis value of:

Ra ≤ 0.25 µm (≤ 10 µ inch)

Internal Roughness Comparison

Harvel LXT® piping has been evaluated side-by-side with other common piping materials at various magnifications for surface roughness comparison.
