Autoclave KCGL90-155 Anti-Vibration Collet Gland Assembly
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
Series KCGL (9/16″):
For extreme conditions of vibration and/or shock in tubing systems, such as locating valve or fitting on an unsupported line near a compressor, Parker Autoclave Engineers coned-and-threaded connections are offered with the Anti-Vibration Collet Gland Assemblies. Completely interchangeable with standard Parker Autoclave Engineers high pressure connections, the Collet Gland Assemblies provide equally effective pressure handling capability.
In standard connection systems, the bending stresses on the threaded area of the tubing imposed by excessive vibration or movement may cause premature fatigue failure of the tubing at the back of the thread. By moving the stress concentration back to the unthreaded part of the tubing and providing a wedge-type gripping action, the Parker Autoclave Engineers anti-vibration collet gland assembly strengthens the entire structure. With stress concentration reduced and overall stress level maintained well below the endurance limit of the material, the result is extended vibrational fatigue life.
A less complex and more economical design than other vibration-resistant connections, the Collet Gland Assembly utilizes the same coned-and-threaded features of Parker Autoclave Engineers high pressure connections. In Series KCGL the gland nut is recessed to accommodate a tapered, slotted collet that grips the tubing at a point behind the threaded area of the tubing.The design provides a slight difference in angles between the collet and the corresponding taper of the gland nut. As the nut is tightened, it acts to wedge the tapered end of the collet into a gripping engagement with the tubing and, at the same time, forces the collar and tubing assembly into line contact with the connection seat.
