Stainless Steel Tube Fittings - Materials And Industrial Applications

stainless steel tube fittings
 

Stainless steel tube fittings range in size from 1/16 inch to 2 inches for smaller tubes and smaller pipe standards and have larger fittings for larger pipes. There are different types such as stainless steel compression fittings which are used to connect pipes made of different materials. This special grade of fittings is useful in high wear and tear environment. These fittings can be made with different material grades but the specification is for materials with chromium content.

All the materials like socket weld and butt weld fittings have different make. Steel fittings are effective in that they fit snugly and allow welding due to the butt weld structure of the fittings. There are different types of fittings such as bends, tees, elbows, and connectors. Stainless steel is used to move the flow direction from one side to the other.

These fittings are offered for both materials and industrial applications. Other materials include alloy 400, alloy C-276, carbon steel, and brass.

Instrumentation Tube Fittings:

Stainless steel tube fittings are available in three designs. These designs were created specifically to blend and exchange with tube fittings used in most analytical and process materials applications today. This is 12,100 PSIG from working pressure i.e. vacuum. It has temperatures ranging from -425 to 1200 ° Fahrenheit. Its size is 1/16 to 2 inches. It is made of 316 SS, alloy 400, C-276, brass, and carbon steel materials.

  • Unlock single-ferrule tube fitting
  • Grip Lok double-ferrule tube fitting

Industrial Tube Fittings:

There are 6 types of industrial tube fittings for applications in chemical, petrochemical, fluid power, plant, and public utility, maritime, defence, aerospace, and automotive industries. Its vacuum is 9200 PSIG

Its temperature is -425 to 1200 ° Fahrenheit. Its size is 1/8 to 2 inches. It is made of 316 / 316L stainless steel, brass, and alloy 400 standard materials.

Stainless Steel Fittings:

Many industries use stainless steel fittings, including tubes/pipelines, to move liquids and other products around their plant facilities. These industries include the food and pharmaceutical sector or building and construction. Stainless steel tube fittings are all connecting fittings that weld butt to the tube. These fittings are measured on the outer diameter of the tube and are available in grade 304 or 316 stainless. The main forms are:

  • Tube bends 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 1x diameter small radius 90 degrees
  • Tube-centric and bizarre reducers
  • Tube tees are equal, reduced, swept, and branched at 45 degrees
  • Tube cross
  • Tube Y piece
  • Tube dome cap
  • Tube end disc
  • Tube hose tail
  • Tube sealing flanges

These fittings are measured on the outer diameter of the tube and are available in grade 304 or 316 stainless. The main forms are tube tees equal, reducing, swept, and 45-degree branches.
