Applications

These couplings are suitable for temperature regulation systems using water, oil, or compressed air. They are specifically designed for use in blow molding and injection molding industries, as well as other plastic processing applications.

Product Variants and Dimensions

The T102 Series includes a wide range of coupling types with various thread standards and configurations:

• Thread Types: NPT, BSP, BSPT, with options for 60° and 24° inner conical male threads, 90° angled versions, and push-lock hose tail sockets.
• Configurations: Female thread sockets, male thread sockets, plugs, extensions, docking plugs and sockets, hose tail sockets (standard and push-lock), and versions with double valves.
• Sizes: From 6 mm up to 25 mm nominal diameters.
• Dimensions: Detailed dimensions including outer diameters (ØD1, ØD2), lengths (L1, L2, L3), and hex sizes are provided for each variant to assist in selection and installation.

Performance Characteristics

The couplings maintain a maximum working pressure of 50 Bar (725 PSI) across all sizes, ensuring reliable operation under high-pressure conditions. The temperature resistance varies by seal material, allowing selection based on application temperature requirements.

Options and Customization

Customers can select from different seal materials (Nitrile or FPM) depending on temperature and chemical compatibility needs. Various thread types and coupling angles are available to fit diverse piping and hose configurations.

Best Practices and Recommendations

• Choose seal material according to the operating temperature and fluid compatibility.
• Verify thread type and size carefully to ensure compatibility with existing systems.
• Use stainless steel components for corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
• Consider double valve versions for applications requiring isolation during coupling or decoupling.

Summary

The T102 Series couplings offer a robust, versatile solution for pneumatic and hydraulic temperature regulation systems. Their broad range of sizes, materials, and configurations make them suitable for demanding industrial applications, particularly in plastics processing. The detailed dimensional data and pressure/temperature specifications support precise selection and reliable performance.
