What are Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings?

General Instruments has established a reputation for producing both custom and standard instrumentation/tube fittings based on client specifications and varied process applications. Leak-proof, torque-free sealing is provided for all tubing connections by Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings. In instrumentation, process, pneumatic, hydraulic, gas, and other tubing structures, they stop leaks that could be costly and dangerous.

When a tube is attached, the basic SS 310 Double-Ferrule Tube Fitting, which consists of a nut, back ferrule, front ferrule, and body, becomes a five-piece connection to produce a strong, leak-free connection. The surface of the tube is not harmed by the two ferrules’ secure retention around it. The tube will deteriorate before the Double-Ferrule joint begins to leak, according to extensive tests.

The two-ferrule configuration, which combines geometry and metallurgy, is what gives the Double-Ferrule Tube Fitting its effectiveness. Instead of using a rotating motion to create the joint, all movement within the fitting occurs along the tube. This axial movement prevents any torque from being fitted to the tube. The efficiency of the Double-Ferrule Tube Fitting is due to the two-ferrule arrangement, which combines geometry and metallurgy. Instead of using a rotating motion to create the joint, all movement within the fitting occurs along the tube. The tube cannot be fitted with any torque due to this axial movement.

Features of Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings

  • Self-alignment
  • Work on thick and thin wall tubes
  • Vibration resistance
  • Work on a range of tube materials
  • All components are made of the same material for thermal stability and corrosion resistance
  • Changing temperature resistance
  • Compensation for the variations found in tubes and materials
  • Do not significantly reduce the flow region.

Fitting Performance

  • Work in vacuums, as well as at low and high pressures
  • Seal at low cryogenic temperatures, as well as elevated temperatures rated for the tube
  • Seal consistently over a wide range of temperature cycling
  • Seal repeatedly under both make and remake conditions
  • Resist pressure beyond the tubing burst point

Applications of Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings

Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fitting Tube is used for specialized applications in oil and gas installations, steam and gas turbines, aerospace, defense, power generation, chemical processing, petrochemical, alternative fuels, shipbuilding, and medical equipment.

These Stainless Steel Instrumentation Fittings are available in various types and grades out of which SS 304 Instrumentation Tube Fittings and Stainless Steel 316 Instrumentation tube Fittings are the two most commonly used grades. The SS 316 Double-Ferrule Tube Fitting also has the benefit of compensating for differences in the thickness, toughness, and dimensional tolerances of the tubing wall thanks to the swaging action of the twin ferrules.

Both Single-Ferrule and Double-Ferrule Tube Fittings are simple to assemble and don’t need any additional tools. These can tolerate strong pulses and vibrations in vacuum and pressure systems and are reused several times.
