Precision Manifolds and Fluid Blocks

A manifold is judged by what it does not do: it must not leak, must not trap residue and must not restrict flow. All three depend on how the internal passages and sealing faces are machined.

Internal passages

Cross-drilled and intersecting channels need clean transitions and controlled burrs — a burr at a passage junction is both a flow restriction and a contamination trap.

Sealing faces

Flatness and surface finish on sealing faces decide whether an O-ring or gasket seals. They are machined for flatness and verified, not just cut and hoped for.

Materials

Aluminium and stainless steel for structural and hydraulic service; PEEK, PVDF and PTFE where chemical resistance or cleanliness rules, including microfluidic manifolds with narrow channels.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a deburring strategy chosen for the material and geometry — including soft-brush or cryogenic deburring where abrasive methods would damage fine channels.
Where the application requires it, sealing faces and assemblies are verified so the part performs in its leak test.
Yes — narrow-channel manifolds in PEEK HPV and similar grades are machined with parameters tuned to avoid stringy burrs at channel exits.
