Specifications and Standards
Products undergo strict quality controls, including visual, functional, and air sealing tests. Couplings must match application pressure and flow rate, with specific options for connections under pressure.
Precautions and Maintenance
Ensure fluid and material compatibility, verify temperature requirements, and consider environmental impacts. Regular maintenance includes cleaning, using protective caps, and replacing damaged parts.
Specifications
PTFE couplings operate between -22°F to +230°F (-30°C to +110°C). Safety factors are 1:4 for dynamic and 1:2 for static pressures. Impulse pressures are tested for 500,000 cycles at 120% of rated pressure per ISO 7241-2.
Procedures
Couplings are designed for easy connection/disconnection by pulling back the sleeve, connectable under pressure, and feature a mechanical valve block system. They are interchangeable per ISO 7241-1 part A.
Materials
Female couplings are steel with hardened stress points, carbonitrided valves and sleeves, C98 steel springs, NBR seals, and PTFE back-up rings. Other materials available upon request.
Technical Information
Includes working pressure, rated flow, connection effort, oil spillage, and minimum burst pressure for various sizes. Designed for high pressures up to 30 MPa.
Recommendations
Use within specified temperature and pressure ranges. Specific seals are recommended for non-standard temperatures. Regular testing and maintenance ensure longevity and reliability.
