Autoclave 15M96E3 Adapter
Principle of Operation:
Male-female adapters are designed to adapt a female connection to another size and/or type of connection without the need for additional couplings. In selecting an adapter involving two different sized connections, the larger connection should be on the male end where it is possible to maximize the mechanical strength of the adapter.
Connection Types:
- Male Connection FLAT BOTTOM: a “flat bottom gasket connection” refers to a type of connection where the sealing surfaces of the connecting components are completely flat and a flat gasket is used to create a seal between them. This configuration has the gasket “before” the threads.
- Female Connection 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.

Notes:
- All Parker Autoclave Engineers adapters are supplied complete with appropriate glands, collars, tube nuts and sleeves.
- The maximum pressure rating for an adapter is determined by the connection component with the LOWEST pressure rating.
- Parker Autoclave Engineers Male/Female Adapters are also available in a “one-piece” design. They are identical to the two piece designs in length and can be ordered by adding the suffix “-OP” to the two piece adapter part number.
- All dimensions are for reference only and are subject to change.
