Everything You Need To Know About Stainless Tube Fittings

Stainless steel tube fittings are employed widely in fluid systems, and especially in the Sanitary industries. Usually they’re made with 304 & 316L stainless steel construction, which lessens the possibility of stress corrosion cracking. Reputed instrumentation tube fittings manufacturers in India will test their products meticulously to check the pressure of hydraulic capacity, and make sure that the fitting don’t leak under pressure. Stainless steel is precious for its mechanical properties. The tensile strength of stainless steel is very strong, making for fittings which are reliable, safe and sturdy. Stainless instrumentation tube fittings are exceedingly resistant to decay, and the rate of leak is considerably low, given that they’re well manufactured to industry standards. 

Stainless steel tube fitting must be made to address the 4 most costly & important problems about fluid systems: wrong installation, leakage, vibration and thermal shock. Installation must be accompanied by a guide to give surety that a fitting has been adequately tightened during installation. 

It should preferably be feasible to install the Fittings with hand tools, and they must also be easy to disconnect and retighten for maintenance purposes. The ferrule, which is a conical piece of metal in the case of Stainless Steel Tube Fittings, which compresses the tube as it’s forced into a tapered seat, should be manufactured so that it can be employed on a range of thick- or thin-walled tubing, as well as hard & soft tubing. It’s essential that the ferrule is able to resist the effects of vibration, pressure & thermal cycling. Good quality Tubing is tested for pressure, performance at high & low temperatures, and how well it resists vibration which will affect durability greatly. Hygienic Fittings in particular should lend themselves well to disconnection & retightening for maintenance purposes.

All fittings must have a sturdy tube grip, which is a critical element for dependable performance. There’re innumerable types of fittings, and the system requirements need to be considered in deciding which one to use. 

Stainless Steel Fittings have elastomeric O-rings placed near each open end to make a seal onto tubing. The tubing is first pushed onto the fitting: - the O ring is designed to be a loose push fit on the tubing. A permanent seal is then made employing a special clamp which presses 3 projections onto the fitting, therefore permanently deforming the end of the fitting. After pressing the rubber O-ring is clamped firmly between the tube and the fitting making a permanent leak-free joint.
