The use of fluid air fittings is increasing in the various industries that are running all over the world. The combining of the various components will generate a connection between the tubing and another complete system.
A variation is there in the components that will be required in the process based on the type and design of the fitting. Now in this article we will look at some of the important components of fluid air fitting:
- Body
The most important component is the body which is mainly the structure and framework for the other parts that are used in the fittings. Based on the requirement of the process it will contain a specific number of the ports for the connection with the pipes.
- Connectors
For the completion of the process, there is a requirement for the connectors that creates a link with the various parts. These connectors will make the process simple and easy to install:
- Male connectors will contain the external threads that are used for fitting in the female port.
- There are internal threads in the female connectors that will be responsible for receiving the male components.
- Modular attachments
In the case of modular attachments, there is a fitting that has additional features that will create an attachment to other components. The other components will include the valves, gauges, and even the process that will complete the system.
- Seal or O-ring
There is even the use of the seal or the O ring that will be used for creating the leakproof seal in between the fitting and the pipes. It will give the assurity to the users that there will be no leakage of the gas from the connection point.
- Ferrule
In the complete compression fitting there is the use of the ferrule which is a small ad tapered ring that compresses against the tubing. With the compression, there will tight and secure seal that will be there between the fittings and tubings.
- Nut
Even nuts are being used that will offer a higher level of security to the process. When you will tighten the nut then the ferrule compresses and the seal of the connection is there.
- Threads
Even in the process, there is the use of the threads that will create a connection in the fittings and tubings and even some other components. It will give secure and tight attachments.
These are some common components that are being used in the process of the fittings. At the assembling stage, you can do an analysis and analyze various components so that finally reach a good option.
