Instrumentation Tube fittings have two ferrules and provide leak-proof, torque-free sealing at the tube connection. They ensure safety and eliminate dangerous fluid leaks in the instrumentation area for process, pressure, hydraulic, and other tubing systems and here are five things you should consider:

What is the function of Instrumentation Tube Fittings?

Instrumentation tube fittings are used to quickly and easily produce leak-free tube connections. Double ferrule compression fittings are available in metric and fractional tube sizes and include:

• An exterior nut.
• Two deformable ferrules in soft alloy or non-ferrous metals.
• A tube fitting body.

The ferrules flex when the proper nut is tightened on the tube, creating a tight seal. In systems with low to high-pressure ratings, they are exceedingly dependable and safe.

When Is Appropriate to Use Instrumentation Tube Fittings?

A pipe is employed to form the principal fluid lines in almost every processing facility. Using only piping components to link any mechanical or electrical monitoring device to the process could be expensive and result in multiple leak paths; this is where the tubing enters the picture.

Instrumentation Tubing offers a technician various advantages over piping components alone. Tubing can be bent to place equipment in exact positions or to connect to a difficult-to-reach tap site. Tube fittings make it simple to cut tubing to the same lengths needed and connect it to other pipes or devices.

What are the Applications?

Instrumentation fittings with two ferrules are used in many industries that employ double ferrule compression fittings, including laboratory, aerospace, downstream petrochemical, pulp and paper, shipbuilding, defense, semiconductor production, power generating, and a variety of other heavy sectors.

What is Instrumentation fittings with double ferrules? 

Instrumentation fittings with two ferrules allow two metric tubes and two fractional tubes to be combined. It can also be ordered with a fractional tube on one end and a metric tube. A standard size range is offered for these fittings. These fittings are available in fractional sizes ranging from 1/16′′ to 2′′, and in metric sizes ranging from 2 to 50 mm.

What is the standard material for instrumentation fittings?

SS316 is the standard material for instrumentation fittings and tube fittings. Dawsons-Tech utilizes standard measures to ensure that the raw material’s chemical requirements are met.

Double ferrule tube fittings from DAWSONS-TECH provide leak-proof, torque-free sealing at the tubing connection. They ensure safety and eliminate dangerous fluid leaks in the instrumentation area for process, pressure, hydraulic, and other tubing systems.
