Product catalog summary
Overview: High Pressure Equipment Company provides Medium Pressure products for plumbing applications up to 20,000 psi. These include needle valves, fittings, line filters, check valves, safety heads, rupture discs, anti-vibration gland assemblies, tubing, and nipples. The products are known for their high quality and performance.
Specifications: The components feature a compact coned-and-threaded connection for larger bore sizes and increased flow rates. Valve sizes range from 1/4" to 1 1/2" O.D. tubing, with six patterns available. Materials include high tensile type 316 stainless steel and hardened 17-4PH stainless steel.
Valve Features: Valves have a non-rotating slotted stem design, packing below stem threads, a positive gland lock device, and require no stem adjustment for certain models. They are available with black T-handles or in four color options.
Temperature and Material Options: Valves can be equipped for extreme temperatures, ranging from -423°F to 1200°F. Special materials like Hastelloy C-276, Monel, Inconel, and titanium are available.
Connection Components: A range of elbows, tees, and crosses is available for all tubing sizes, made from high tensile 316 stainless steel. Standard tubing glands and collars are provided unless specified otherwise.
Additional Options: Air operators for remote control, micro control metering valves, and various packing materials like Teflon, Viton, BUNA-N, and Grafoil are available at no extra cost.
Procedures and Recommendations: Use standard straight couplings for cost efficiency. Ensure proper torque (40 to 90 foot pounds) for sealing rupture discs. Periodic replacement of rupture discs is recommended to prevent failure due to corrosion and metal fatigue.
Key Data from Tables: Catalog numbers and specifications for tubing sizes, pressure ratings, and component dimensions are provided. Standard burst pressures for rupture discs range from 1,000 psi to 65,000 psi.
Medium Pressure Anti-Vibration Gland Assemblies: Designed for systems exposed to extreme vibration, these assemblies offer unlimited vibrational fatigue life by moving the vibration fulcrum away from the threaded portion of the tube.
Specifications: Pressure rating is 20,000 psi with connection sizes from 1/4" to 1". Made from 316 stainless steel.
Medium Pressure Tubing: Cold drawn, seamless tubing with tensile strength approximately 40% higher than annealed tubing, available in lengths of 20 to 24 feet.
Nipples: Stocked in 316 stainless steel, available in various lengths, not furnished with collars and glands unless specified.
Medium Pressure Connections: Suitable for tubing sizes 1/4" to 1" O.D., these connections are standard for elevated pressures and temperatures, made from Type 316 stainless steel.
Key Components: Glands and collars are provided with all valves and fittings unless otherwise requested. Coned and threaded nipples are available in standard lengths.

High Pressure Equipment Medium Pressure Valves, Fittings and Tubing 20,000 psi service High Pressure Equipment Company has developed a line of Medium Pressure products to assure safe and easy plumbing through 20,000 psi. These needle valves, fittings, line filters, check valves, safety heads, rupture discs, anti-vibration gland assemblies, tubing and nipples are engineered to the highest standards of repeatable quality. The reliable performance of these products has made HiP one of the world’s leading suppliers of elevated pressure components. Medium Pressure components use a compact coned-and-threaded connection which permits the larger bore sizes and increased flow rates common in this pressure class. Medium Pressure valves are available in 1 /4", 3/8", 9/16", 3/4", 1" and 11/2" O.D. tubing sizes and six patterns to satisfy widely varied requirements. A line of fittings is available to facilitate adapting to Taper Seal, High Pressure or other threaded pipe systems.

High Pressure Equipment Valve Options Extreme Temperature Valves The Extreme Temperature Extension provides a means to move the packing area (stuffing box) away from the hot or cold zone of a valve. Fins are provided around the packing area to dissipate heat or cold with this option. Size range. Extreme temperature extensions are available for all medium pressure valves. Materials and features. Standard packing is Grafoil and Teflon. Nonrotating tip stems prevent galling at the seats and minimize torque requirements for positive shut off. When ordering, simply add the suffix “-HT” or “LT” to...

High Pressure Equipment Union Couplings (Slip Type) Union (slip type) couplings are ideal for use in confined space installations. This design allows the entire coupling to be disconnected and slipped back over the tubing to facilitate assembly and disassembly. In installations where tubing is easily assembled, it is preferable (and less expensive) to use standard straight couplings (see section 12). Standard material is high tensile 316 stainless steel. Standard tubing collars and glands are provided unless otherwise specified. Bulkhead Couplings Bulkhead couplings are designed specifically...

High Pressure Equipment Safety Heads The male inlet design can be inserted directly into the tubing connections of valves and various fittings such as tees and crosses, or located in pressure vessels. Outlet connections are 3/8" pipe (NPT). This outlet may be connected to a suitable discharge line to vent pressure to a safe location in the event of bursting of the rupture disc. Torque required for sealing rupture discs will range from 40 to 90 foot pounds, depending upon pressure and media being used. Material of body and hold down nut is high tensile 316 stainless steel. Standard tubing glands...
