HAMMER UNION FIG 50

1. Description:

  • Product Name: Hammer Union Figure 50
  • Type: High-pressure connection fitting
  • Material: Usually carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloy steels depending on application.
  • Use: Designed for high-pressure fluid and gas applications, commonly used in oil and gas industries, well services, and pipeline systems.
  • Design: Comprised of two or more components that are tightened together using a threaded connection with an additional nut, making it easier to assemble and disassemble for maintenance.
  • Color Code: Typically color-coded for ease of identification (e.g., red, blue, or yellow).

2. Specifications:

  • Pressure Class:
    • Typically, Hammer Union Figure 50 is rated for up to 5,000 PSI (pounds per square inch).
    • Pressure classes may vary based on material and design, with common classifications being 3,000 PSI, 5,000 PSI, or 10,000 PSI.
  • Size Range:
    • From 1″ to 4″ (diameter sizes).
    • Larger sizes (above 4″) can be custom-made depending on application.
  • End Connections:
    • Threaded, Flanged, or Butt Weld depending on the design.
  • Material Types:
    • Carbon Steel (A105) for general applications.
    • Stainless Steel (316) for higher corrosion resistance.
    • Alloy Steel or Nickel Alloys for high-temperature or high-pressure services.
  • Temperature Range:
    • Typically -50°F to 300°F (-45°C to 150°C) for standard materials.
    • Can vary with specific materials used for extreme temperature conditions.
  • Thread Type:
    • API or BS threads, depending on industry standards.
  • Seal Type:
    • O-ring seals (usually nitrile rubber, or fluorocarbon, depending on application).

3. Classification:

  • API Classification:
    • Hammer Union Figure 50 fittings are often built to API 16C standards for high-pressure connections in drilling and well services.
  • End Connections:
    • Compatible with BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered) threads or NPT (National Pipe Thread) threads, among other end types.
  • Material Grade:
    • Classified based on material composition (e.g., ASTM A105, A350 LF2 for carbon steel; ASTM A182 for stainless steel).

4. Applications:

  • Oil & Gas: Used in drilling, well testing, and pressure testing.
  • Water Systems: For high-pressure water transfer in industrial settings.
  • Chemical Processing: Handling corrosive chemicals at high pressure.
  • Industrial Systems: For high-pressure steam and fluid transport.

5. Additional Features:

  • Easy Assembly/Disassembly: The hammer union’s design makes it easier to connect and disconnect parts under high pressure, minimizing downtime.
  • Leak Prevention: Seals are designed to prevent fluid or gas leakage even at high pressure.

6. Standards:

  • API 6A: For wellhead equipment.
  • ASME B16.5: For flanges.
  • ANSI B16.5: Flanged fittings.
  • ISO 9001: Quality management system.

7. Advantages:

  • Reliability: High-quality material ensures strong and reliable connections.
  • Quick and Safe Connections: Designed for ease of use in high-pressure applications, which saves time during maintenance and ensures safety.
  • Durability: Hammer unions are known for their durability in harsh conditions (extreme pressures, temperatures, and chemicals).
