Material: Typically made of high-quality stainless steel, brass, or other corrosion-resistant alloys.
Connection Type: Compression fitting with twin ferrules
Design: Consists of three main components:
Body: The main body of the fitting, usually hexagonal or round in shape, with threaded or unthreaded ends to connect to tubing or piping.
Front Ferrule: A smaller ferrule located at the front of the fitting that compresses onto the tubing when the fitting is tightened, creating a seal.
Back Ferrule: A larger ferrule located behind the front ferrule that provides additional support and ensures a secure connection.
Sizes Available: Various sizes available to accommodate different tubing or piping diameters, typically ranging from 1/8 inch to 2 inches or more.
Pressure Rating: Rated for various pressure levels, depending on the material, size, and application requirements. Typically suitable for high-pressure applications.
Temperature Rating: Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, depending on the material used. Stainless steel fittings, for example, can withstand temperatures ranging from -425°F (-254°C) to 1200°F (649°C) or higher.
Leak Resistance: Provides a reliable leak-free connection by using a compression mechanism that seals the connection between the fitting and tubing without the need for welding, soldering, or additional sealants.
Easy Installation: Allows for quick and easy installation without special tools or equipment. Simply insert the tubing into the fitting and tighten the nut to create a secure connection.
Reusability: Can be disassembled and reassembled multiple times without compromising the integrity of the connection.
Versatility: Suitable for use with various types of tubing materials, including stainless steel, copper, brass, and plastics.
Application:
Widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, instrumentation, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Ideal for applications requiring high-pressure and high-temperature resistance, such as hydraulic systems, instrumentation, process control, and fluid distribution systems.
Standards Compliance: Manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards and specifications, such as ASTM, ASME, ANSI, DIN, and ISO, ensuring quality, reliability, and safety.
