Autoclave 100UF44UU Union Coupling
Ultra High Pressure Cone & Thread, Pressures to 150,000 psi
Principle of Operation:
Parker Autoclave Engineers High & Ultra High Pressure connections are a refinement of the original cone & thread joint which has been the standard connection in high pressure technology since its development by an agency of the US Government over 90 years ago. This design set precedence of quality and reliability found in all Parker Autoclave Engineers products to this day.
The pressure handling capabilities of this connection design have been applied successfully to control pressures up to 150,000 psi. All-metal sealing and working temperatures from 0 to 600F, along with a variety of different material options make this connection one of the most versatile ever. Ultra High Pressure fittings and tubing are designed using ASME B31.3 Chapter IX standards to be compatible with all of our Ultra High Pressure Valve and Fitting components.
Ultra High Pressure Fittings and Tubing Features:
- Utilize “C100 and C150” Style Ultra High Pressure Coned-and-Threaded connections
- Available sizes are 1/4″, 3/8″, 5/16″, and 9/16″ nominal outside diameter tubing
- Fittings manufactured using UNS S31600, 316 Stainless Steel or UNS S15500 15-5PH (as required) stainless steel material, cold worked to Parker Autoclave proprietary standards
- Operating Temperatures from 0F to 600F
- Tubing Material for 100,000 psi service is HP160 SS (Autofrettage is standard), 150,000 psi Tubing material is UNS S31600/S31603 Cold Worked 316/316L Stainless Steel
- Anti-vibration connection components available
- All Parker Autoclave Engineers fittings are marked with manufacturers name, part number, material, heat code and maximum pressure for complete traceability
Union vs. Straight Coupling Comparison:
In much the same as with a traditional Pipe Union, the Parker Autoclave Engineers Union Coupling is used to easily disassemble tubing runs when valves or fittings need to be replaced after original installation. The Body and Insert are two different pieces in the same assembly. The body can slide down tubing leaving only the insert and the tubing tips engaged. Then with only minimal tube shift, the insert drops out allowing the tubing to be removed avoiding the need to disassemble multiple tubing sections from closest elbow.
