Swagelok Introduces Medium-Pressure Gaugeable Tube and Adapter Fittings, Seamless Tubing for Applications up to 15 000 psig (1034 bar).SOLON, Ohio Solon (pronounced Sew-len) is a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and is a suburb of Cleveland in the Northeast Ohio Region, the 14th largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 21,802. -- Swagelok now offers a line of medium-pressure products--gaugeable tube and adapter A device that allows one system to connect to and work with another. An adapter is often a simple circuit that converts one set of signals to another; however, the term often refers to devices which are more accurately called "controllers. fittings, as well as seamless tubing--to satisfy higher working pressure requirements in the alternative fuels and oil and gas industries. Swagelok(R) medium-pressure gaugeable tube fittings and adapter fittings provide a leak-tight gas seal and vibration resistance in applications up to 15,000 psig (1034 bar). Available in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch sizes, the all-316 stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. fittings come in a diverse range of fitting styles, including elbows, unions, bulkhead unions, reducing unions, tees, crosses, caps, and plugs. The fittings' four precision components--a male nut, female body, front ferrule A ceramic, plastic or stainless steel part of a fiber-optic plug that holds the end of the fiber and precisely aligns it to the socket. The fiber is inserted into the ferrule and cemented with an epoxy or adhesive, which gives it long-term mechanical strength and prevents contamination , and back ferrule--combine to apply a patented hinging-colleting action to grip and seal the tubing securely with no special tube preparation required. The fittings offer low weight and a compact profile to help save space in installations. Additional highlights of the medium pressure gaugeable fittings include: --Easy connection to heavy-wall annealed or cold-drawn 1/8-hard stainless steel tubing --Simple installation, no special tools required --Fitting assembly is by one turn or torque, allowing manual or automated assembly --Preassembled disposable cartridges
--Patented low-temperature case hardening Case hardening or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material's surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy. processing of the ferrules and nut provides enhanced performance and corrosion resistance over a wide range of applications --Third-party test reports and extensive Swagelok product test reports validate performance claims. Medium-pressure 316/316L stainless steel tubing for use in applications up to 15,000 psig (1034) bar is available in heavy wall annealed or cold-drawn 1/8-hard condition. Available tubing sizes are 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 in. outside diameter Outside diameter is the diameter of the addendum (tip) circle. In a bevel gear it is the diameter of the crown circle. In a throated wormgear it is the maximum diameter of the blank. The term applies to external gears.1 Notes 1. , in 20 ft and 2, 4, and 6 m lengths. Medium-pressure tubing: --Is a perfect complement to Swagelok medium-pressure fittings --Can be bent with the Swagelok bench-top bender --Is marked with size, material, condition, and heat number. "Our customers in the alternative fuels and oil and gas markets told us they needed easily reassembled fittings and stainless steel tubing that work consistently at pressures of up to 15,000 psig," said Peter Ehlers, alternative fuels market manager, Swagelok Company. "We're very excited to offer the marketplace high-quality medium-pressure products that meet these performance goals."
