Autoclave 60UF4433 Union Coupling
High Pressure Cone & Thread, Pressures to 60,000 psi
Principle of Operation:
Parker Autoclave Engineers 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. 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 in excess of 150,000 psi. All-metal sealing and working temperatures from -423F to +1200F, along with many different material options make this connection one of the most versatile ever. Fittings and tubing found in this section are designed using ASME B31.3 Chapter IX standards to be compatible with all of our High Pressure Valve and Fitting configurations.
High Pressure Fittings and Tubing Features:
- Utilize “F” style High Pressure coned-and-threaded connections
- Available sizes are 1/4″, 3/8″, 9/16″, and 1″ nominal OD tubing
- Standard fitting material is UNS S31600 with tubing manufactured using UNS S31600/S31603, 316/316L stainless steel material, cold worked to Parker Autoclave proprietary standards; UNS S30400/S30403 304 SS tubing is available
- Operating temperatures from -423F to +1200F
- Anti-vibration connection components available
- High pressure, high cycle Autofrettaged tubing available, along with many material options
- All Parker Autoclave Engineers fittings are marked with manufacturers name, part number, material, heat code and maximum pressure for complete traceability
Union vs. Straight Coupling Comparison:
In much the same as with a traditional Pipe Union, the Parker Autoclave Engineers Union Coupling is used to easily disassemble tubing runs when valves or fittings need to be replaced after original installation. The Body and Insert are two different pieces in the same assembly. The body can slide down tubing leaving only the insert and the tubing tips engaged. Then with only minimal tube shift, the insert drops out allowing the tubing to be removed avoiding the need to disassemble multiple tubing sections from closest elbow.
