The Importance of Properly Fitting Stainless Steel Tube Fittings

To ensure your equipment is functioning as designed, it is vital that your stainless steel tube fittings have a tight and accurately sized fit. While it may be simple enough to source compatible stainless steel tube fittings for equipment with standardized sizes, sourcing the exact fittings for older, out-of-production equipment or lesser known manufacturers may require a custom-designed fitting to meet your exact application requirements.

 

Stainless steel tube fittings are oftentimes utilized in sanitary processing applications, using 304 grade or 316 grade stainless steel, depending on the application requirements. With 316 offering greater resistance to corrosion and various chemicals, such as acids and chlorides, it is the most utilized version of stainless steel used in sanitary fluid processing equipment. With sizes ranging from ½” to 24”, it should be easy to achieve the exact size you need, without complicating the manufacturing process.

 

Whether you are in need of a custom manufacturing process to produce a unique size and design, or have equipment that is compatible with a number of standardized sizes—having strong, precision-sized fittings helps ensure your sanitary process application is continuously performing at peak efficiency. Additionally, having proper fitting components can help boost the longevity of your equipment, and minimize the amount of maintenance and repairs you have to perform. As with nearly every piece of equipment, implementing precision design standards and strict measurement tolerances helps guarantee a better end result. Quality, repeatability, efficiency, and happy customers—these are all great reasons to make sure every component in your sanitary process control equipment is sized correctly for its intended purpose.
