Stainless steel tube fittings are widely used in fluid systems, particularly in the health industries. Normally they are made of 304 and 316 stainless steel construction, which minimizes the likelihood of stress corrosion cracking. Leading companies who manufacture stainless Steel Tube fittings will test their products widely to check the pressure of the hydraulic capacity and ensure that connections do not leak under pressure. Stainless steel is valuable for its mechanical properties. The tensile strength of stainless steel is extremely strong, which makes for fittings that are safe, reliable and durable. Stainless steel fittings are highly resistant to corrosion, and the leak rate is relatively low, provided that they are manufactured to industry standards.
Stainless steel tube fittings must be manufactured to meet the four questions most expensive and critical fluid systems: improper installation, vibration, leakage, thermal shock, by offering a reliable product with excellent durability gaugeable and simplified maintenance. The installation must be accompanied by a guide to provide assurance that a fitting has been sufficiently tightened on the installation. It should preferably be possible to install the fittings with hand tools, and should also be easy to disconnect and tighten for maintenance. The shell, which is a conical piece of metal in the case of stainless steel pipe fittings (but may be made of plastic), which compresses the tube as it is forced into a conical seat, must be manufactured so it can be used on a range of tubes thick or thin-walled tubes as well as hard and soft. It is essential that the shell is able to withstand the effects of vibration, pressure and thermal cycling. Tubes of good quality is tested for pressure, high temperature performance and low, and how it resists vibrations that affect the durability a lot. Hygienic connections in particular, should lend themselves to disconnect and retighten for maintenance.
All connections must have a sturdy handle tube, which is a key element of reliable performance. There are many types of fittings and system requirements must be taken into account in deciding which one to use. Compression fittings, which was the first type of connection of the tube is composed of three elements - a nut, a body and a sealing ring or ferrule. This has significant drawbacks - the most important being that it can withstand the pressure minimum, and remake is extremely difficult due to the construction of the seal. Thread connections are widely used to attach Schedule 40 Pipe. Hygienic connections are generally available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel, with male parts and liners suitable for butt welding in the tube. These include connections RJT, IDF Clamp connections and fittings. Most process lines must be frequently removed for cleaning, assembly lines and sanitary must be adapted for this purpose and easy to maintain.
Stainless steel fittings have rubber O-rings located near each end open to a joint of pipe. The tube is first pushed onto the fitting: - O-ring is designed to be a loose fit to push the pipe. A permanent seal is then made using a special grip that supports three projections on the connector, thus permanently deforming the end of the assembly. After pressing the rubber O-ring is clamped tightly between the tube and fitting to a permanent leak-free joint. Other types of tube fittings include butt-welded fittings, pipe fittings and flanges. Although there are many suitable materials for tube fittings, stainless steel fittings are particularly desirable in some systems, and in some circles - for example a marine environment, and hygiene systems. Provided you use a reputable manufacturer of connectors and are suitable for the system that requires them, you should have excellent durability.
