Autoclave 15M96R6 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 TOP: a “flat top 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 “after” the threads.
- Female Connection 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.
