Autoclave 15F6486 Coupling
Principle of Operation:
Parker Autoclave Engineers couplings and reducer/adapter couplings accommodate female-to-female joining of any combination of standard size tubing and standard pipe.
Connection Types:
- LOW PRESSURE: The Low Pressure (aka “SpeedBite”) connection is a single-ferrule bite-type compression fitting engineered for use with tubing designed by Parker Autoclave Engineers to a controlled hardness. Speedbite fittings employ a bite-type compression style single ferrule that is manually tightened and are rated for MAWP up to 15,000 psi.
- MEDIUM PRESSURE: The Medium Pressure cone-and-thread connections (aka “SlimLine”) were created for those applications that require higher flow rate capability. Designed for a maximum of 20,000 psi MAWP using high tensile strength cold worked 316 Stainless Steel material as standard.
- HIGH PRESSURE: The High Pressure connection is 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. The pressure handling capabilities of this connection design have been applied successfully to control pressures in excess of 150,000 psi. All-metal sealing and working temperatures from -423F to +1200F.
- NPT: Parker Autoclave Engineers use high quality UNS S31600/S31603 316/316L material cold worked to our stringent specifications that enable certification of NPT style Instrument Pipe Fittings to a maximum working pressure of 15,000 psi. It’s the strength of the material that allows this superior pressure rating and care should be taken to only use with other similar fittings made to the same specification.
