Autoclave MS15-201 Ultra High Pressure Tubing
Ultra High Pressure Cone & Thread, Pressures to 150,000 psi
Parker Autoclave Engineers offers a selection of austenitic cold drawn stainless steel tubing designed to match the performance standards of Parker Autoclave valves and fittings. Parker Autoclave ultra high pressure tubing is manufactured of 316/316L (UNS S31600/S31603) or HP160 (100Ksi only) specifically for high pressure applications requiring both strength and corrosion resistance. The tubing is furnished in random lengths between 20 feet (6 meters) and 26.5 feet (8.0 meters). The average is 24 feet (7.3 meters). Our HP160 tubing was designed by Parker Autoclave Engineers specifically for High Cyclic use such as Waterjet cutting machines.
Inspection and Testing:
Parker Autoclave Engineer’s ultra high pressure tubing is inspected to assure freedom from seams, laps, fissures or other flaws, as well as carburization or intergranular carbide precipitation. The outside and inside diameters of the tubing are controlled within close tolerances including runout. Sample pieces of tubing for each lot are tested to confirm mechanical properties. Hydrostatic testing is also performed on a statistical basis and is conducted at the working pressure of the tube. Parker Autoclave will perform 100% hydrostatic testing up to
1.5 times working pressure at additional cost if desired.
Special Material:
In addition to the type 316/316L and HP160 High Cycle tubing, Parker Autoclave Engineers has a limited stock of hard-to-obtain nonstandard lengths of exotic material tubing.
Temperature Capability:
Ultra High Pressure Tubing is capable of temperatures from -0° to 600°F. Please reference Technical Brochure for material, temperature, and bending data.

Notes:
- Standard Tubing is manufactured in accordance with ASME B31.3 Chapter IX standards using UNS S31600/S31603, 316/316L or HP160 Stainless material, cold worked to Parker Autoclave proprietary standards.
- Tubing outside diameter dimensions do not meet standard commercial tubing tolerances. Tubing outside dimensions are specifically chosen to meet tube threading die requirements.
- Parker Autoclave Engineers components and tubing are designed as a “complete system” for safety and our fittings will not be compatible with standard “commercial” tubing.
Autofrettage for High Pressure / High Cycle (HPHC) Applications:
If high cycle fatigue life is a concern, Parker Autoclave Engineers can supply tubing which has been autofrettaged for improved fatigue resistance. For internally pressurized tubing, autofrettage is a method by which the inner wall of the tube is precompressed to reduce the tube operating bore stresses, thereby increasing cycle life and increasing the life span of the tubing. Every application is different and while life span increases of 40% have been reported, we cannot guarantee any specific increase in tubing life.
