Tube & Ferrule Fittings
Tube and ferrule fittings are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing for creating leak-tight connections in fluid or gas systems. These fittings provide a reliable and secure connection between tubes or pipes, ensuring smooth flow and preventing leakage.
The tube refers to the pipe or tubing through which fluids or gases flow. It can be made of various materials like stainless steel, copper, brass, or plastic, depending on the application.
A ferrule is a small metal or plastic ring that is placed around the end of a tube or pipe. It acts as a sealing and gripping element when compressed against the fitting body or valve.
Specifications for Tubes
| Size | Outside diameter (OD) and Wall thickness. |
|---|---|
| Material | Stainless Steel, |
| Pressure Rating | Tubes have pressure ratings that indicate the maximum pressure they can safely withstand. The pressure rating depends on the material, wall thickness, and construction of the tube. |
| Temperature Rating | Tubes also have temperature ratings that indicate the maximum and minimum temperatures they can handle without compromising their structural integrity or performance. |
