Product catalog summary
Specifications:
The document specifies fittings made from carbon and stainless steel, compliant with standards like SAE J1453 and ISO 8434-3. It covers various fitting types including BSPP, Metric parallel, UNF/UN-2A, NPTF, and ORFS/DIN.
Procedures:
Assembly instructions for flared and brazed tubes are detailed, emphasizing tool compliance, square tube cutting, deburring, and proper alignment. Lubrication and tightening instructions are also provided.
Standards and Norms:
Fittings adhere to ISO 8434-3 and SAE J1453 standards. High-quality tubes like E235 for carbon steel and 1.4571 for stainless steel are recommended for optimal performance.
Recommendations:
Use mineral oils for lubrication and avoid mixing carbon and stainless steel components. Do not use fittings to correct misalignments and ensure proper support for long or stressed tubes.
Technical Characteristics:
Designed for high-pressure systems, the fittings ensure a metal-to-metal seal with an elastomeric O-ring, suitable for harsh conditions and resistant to vibrations.
Sealing:
ORFS fittings include a groove for an O-ring, enhancing sealing and preventing leaks, compliant with ISO 8434-3 and SAE J1453 standards.
General Instructions:
Check tool compliance before flaring or brazing. Proper lubrication is essential, with anti-seizing compounds recommended for stainless steel fittings.
Utilization Standards:
Carbon steel fittings require calibrated, polished, cold-drawn seamless tubes. Stainless steel fittings need tubes per UNI EN 10216-5 or ASTM A 269 standards.
Assembly Instructions:
For flared tubes, ensure tool condition, square cutting, and follow flaring and tightening procedures. For brazed tubes, similar steps are emphasized with proper brazing techniques.
Technical Data for the Preparation of Flared and Brazed Tubes:
Correct flaring and brazing are crucial for seal functionality. Precision in tube preparation ensures safe functionality and easy assembly. High-quality processed tubes guarantee excellent performance.
Tube Specifications:
Lists various tube sizes with corresponding flaring dimensions and tolerances in both metric and inch measurements.
Tightening Torques:
Provided in Newton Meters (Nm), based on practical tests, with separate values for carbon steel and stainless steel fittings.
Assembly Instructions for Fittings with Swivel Nut:
Ensure tool compliance, clean and lubricate components, align parts correctly, and tighten to specified torque values. Repeated assembly does not affect sealing capability.
Key Data from Tables:
Tables detail tube diameters, flaring dimensions, and tightening torques, with universal series covering various sizes.

THEORY OF OPERATION-FLARED TUBE The CAST fitting, manufactured according to ISO 8434-3/SAE J1453, is a mechanical fitting traditionally used for high pressure fluid-dynamic systems. The sealing is made between two flat surfaces, metal to metal, with no deformation of the components, plus an elastomeric sealing (O-Ring) placed into a groove on the front surface of the fitting. The coupling between the body of the fitting and the flared tube is guaranteed by the tightening nut and by the sleeve on the inside. It helps fast assembly of removable tubes, avoids welding and tapping, thus assuring maximum...

THEORY OF OPERATION - BRAZED TUBE The CAST fitting, manufactured according to ISO 8434-3/SAE J1453, is a mechanical fitting traditionally used for high pressure fluid-dynamic systems. The sealing is made between two flat surfaces, metal to metal, with no deformation of the components, plus an elastomeric sealing (O-Ring) placed into a groove on the front surface of the fitting. The coupling between the body of the fitting and the brazed tube is guaranteed by the tightening nut.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS - FLARED TUBE The CAST ORFS fittings assure perfect seal regardless of the fluid used, provided that no corrosive fluids be employed, the nominal pressures of the fittings and the indicated temperatures be respected and the prescriptions of the manufacturer be followed scrupulously. These fittings are manufactured in a single series defined “UNIVERSAL” since the fitting body and the tightening nut remain the same also when switching from a metric tube at an inches sized tube. There are no doubles of diameters with different working pressures. Normal vibrations do not...

SEALING The new ORFS fitting solves the total sealing problem in the following way: • On the front side of the fitting a groove was created to insert an O-ring. This elastomeric seal guarantees a perfect seal at all times, as dry as dust. • The particular shape of the groove, according to the new prescriptions of standards ISO 8434-3 and SAE J1453, guarantees the containment of the O-Ring inside its groove without the assistance of adhesives. • The presence of the O-Ring groove improves the sealing metal to metal characteristics, since the groove divides the front seal surface of the fitting...
