DOUBLE FERRULE TUBE FITTINGS
Double Ferrule tube fittings
Double ferrule tube fittings are a type of compression fitting used to connect tubes or pipes in a piping system. They consist of four main components: the nut, the back ferrule, the front ferrule, and the fitting body.
The front and back ferrules are thin-walled sleeves that are placed over the tube or pipe before it is inserted into the fitting body. The front ferrule provides a seal against the fitting body, while the back ferrule provides a seal against the tube or pipe. When the nut is tightened, it compresses the ferrules, creating a tight seal between the tube or pipe and the fitting body.
Double ferrule tube fittings offer several advantages over other types of fittings, including:
Leak Tight: Double ferrule tube fittings provide a reliable and leak-tight seal, even in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Easy Installation: They are relatively easy to install, requiring only basic tools and equipment.
Reusability: Double ferrule tube fittings can be disassembled and reassembled multiple times without damaging the fitting or the tubing.
Compatibility: They are compatible with a wide range of tube materials, including stainless steel, copper, and plastic.
Double ferrule tube fittings are commonly used in applications where high-pressure and high-temperature conditions are present, such as in the oil and gas, chemical, and power generation industries. They are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and alloy steel, and can be designed for both standard and high-pressure applications.
Double ferrule type fittings provide leak-proof, torque-free seals at the tubing connection. They provide safety and eliminate hazardous leaks of fluids in the instrumentation fields for a process, pressure, hydraulic, and other applicable tubing systems.
