Choosing the most appropriate type of Stainless Steel for Single Compression Tube Fittings and Double Compression Tube Fittings

Following are the most important factors you should consider while choosing the  right Stainless Steel for 
your Single Ferrule Compression Tube Fittings and Double Compression Tube Fittings. 

  • Corrosive Environment : Atmospheric, Water, Concentration of particular chemicals, chloride content, presence of acid. 
  • Temperature of Operation : High temperatures usually accelerate corrosion rates and therefore indicate a higher grade. Low temperatures will require a tough austenitic steel.
  • Strength Required – Higher strength can be obtained from the Austenitic, Duplex, Martensitic and PH steels. Other processes such as welding and forming often influence which of these is most suitable. For example, high strength austenitic steels produced by work hardening would not be suitable where welding was necessary as the process would soften the steel.
  • Customer expectation regarding performance of material  – This is an important consideration often missed in the selection process. Particularly, what are the aesthetic requirements as compared to the structural requirements? 
  • There may also be special requirements such as non-magnetic properties to take into account.
  • It must also be borne in mind that steel type alone is not the only factor in material selection. Surface finish is at least as important in many applications, particularly where there is a strong aesthetic component. 
  • Availability: There may be a perfectly correct technical choice of material which cannot be implemented because it is not available in the time required.
  • Cost: Sometimes the correct technical option is not finally chosen on cost grounds alone. However, it is important to assess cost on the correct basis. Many stainless steel applications are shown to be advantageous on a life cycle cost basis rather than initial cost.

Use of Single Ferrule Tube Fittings and Double Ferrule Tube Fittings

Tube Fittings both Single Ferrule Tube Fittings and Double Ferrule Tube Fittings refer to and are used as connective fixtures used to transfer various fluid components. Tube Fittings are generally used with systems designed to transfer substances through straight sections that are outfitted with special joints and connectors. 

Common types of Single Ferrule Tube Fittings and Double Ferrule Tube Fittings include Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Brass and Special Alloy (Inconel Tube Fittings, Incoloy Tube Fittings, Monel Tube Fittings, Hastelloy Tube Fittings etc.,). 

Nickel and Chrome Alloy fittings are used for corrosion resistance or to provide aesthetic finishes Tube Fittings are used in various industries like Power Generation, Railways, Oil and Gas, Petroleum, Control and Instrumentation Systems etc.,

Common types of Single Ferrule Tube Fittings and Double Ferrule Tube Fittings include Straight types like Male Connectors, Tube Unions, Bulk Head Tube Unions, Female Connectors etc., Angled and other Fittings include Union Elbows, Male Elbows, Female Elbows, Union Tee, Male Run Tee, Female Run Tee, Male Branch Tee, Female Branch Tee, Union Cross etc., 

The most basic specifications to consider in the preliminary stages of designing Single Ferrule Tube Fittings, Double Ferrule Tube Fittings include material type, tube size and port size. Tube Fittings are most commonly constructed out of metals, especially Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Brass, Alloy Steels and Special Alloys.  

Single Ferrule Tube Fittings and Double Ferrule Tube Fittings are a forte of Tech Tubes & Fittings.

Important Points to consider while purchasing Ferrule Fittings

Single Ferrule Tube Fittings or Double Ferrule Tube Fittings are available in several makes and standards
around the globe. These fittings are used for extremely critical applications. These come in various pressure
ranges, moc, sizes and grades. 

The base of the use of the fitting is to hold the Tube in such an extremely firm manner to cause zero friction
zero leakage. The buyer 'must' consider these points prior to buying the products. 

  • The eligibility of the Single Ferrule Tube Fittings or Double Ferrule Tube Fittings should be considered while assembling it with a thin wall tube or thick wall tube. This shall ensure that the pipe is not affected.
  •  The most critical criteria of buying single compression fittings / double compression fittings is corrosion. Buyer must check and ensure that the fittings are free from any kind of rust or contamination. The single compression fittings / double compression fittings that are not rust free may weaken the entire structure. 
  • The single ferrule fittings / double ferrule fittings must be free of contamination. For highly critical services like Oxygen Service, it is very important to install contamination free and rust free fittings. 
  • For longer life and lesser maintenance of these products it is very important to choose the right Grade. 
  • The fittings should take less time and labor to install. Moreover the biting of the ferrule should be easy and hassle free. 
  • Ferrule is the heart of the fittings. Basically there are 3 part of the fittings, namely The Body, The Nut and The Ferrule(s). Out of these the ferrule is most important part which is the major reason of keeping the tube intact with the fitting. Thus causing no leakage. 
  • The ferrule should be heat treated as per requirements. 

Single Ferrule Fittings and Double Ferrule Fittings are available in markets. However, it is extremely important to identify the quality of fittings, the dimensions and minimum required length of threads, the quality of ferrule especially. It is essential to buy it from a genuine manufacturer which will help the buyer to retain the strength of the entire structure.
