There is a super austenitic stainless steel that contains chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and copper. Ferrule fittings, also known as compression fittings, are plumbing fitting that connects two pipes or tubes. Alloy 20 Ferrule Fittings are compression fittings made from Alloy 20 and explicitly design for highly corrosive environments.
Advantages of Alloy 20 Ferrule Fittings
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Alloy 20 is highly corrosion-resistant in many acidic environments, including sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid. This makes Alloy 20 ferrule fittings ideal for use in chemical processing plants, where these acids are commonly use.
- High Strength and Durability: Alloy 20 is a high-strength material resistant to fatigue and corrosion cracking. Alloy 20-ferrule fittings are durable and can withstand high-pressure and high-stress environments.
- Easy to Install: They are easy to install and require no welding, which reduces the risk of leaks and makes them a cost-effective solution for connecting pipes and tubes.
- Versatility: Alloy 20 Compression Tube Fittings are suitable for various applications, including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and water treatment.
- Hygienic: The smooth, non-porous surface of makes them easy to clean and maintain, which is essential in applications where hygiene is critical, such as in the food and beverage industry.
Uses of Alloy 20 Ferrule Fittings
- Chemical Processing: They are use in the chemical processing industry, where they are use to connect pipes and tubes carrying highly corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvents.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: The high purity and corrosion resistance of this alloy make them ideal for use in the pharmaceutical industry, where they are use to produce drugs and other medical products.
- Oil and Gas: They are use in oil and gas production, refining, and transport. They connect pipes and tubes with highly corrosive and acidic fluids like sulfur and hydrochloric acid.
- Food and Beverage Industry: The smooth, non-porous surface of Alloy 20 ferrule fittings makes them ideal for use in the food and beverage industry, where they are use in the processing, storing, and transporting food and beverage products.
- Water Treatment: They are use in water treatment plants, where they are use to connect pipes and tubes that carry highly corrosive chemicals, such as chlorine and fluorine, use in the treatment of water.
- Marine Applications: The corrosion resistance of this alloy makes them ideal for use in marine environments, such as offshore oil rigs and ships, where they are expose to saltwater and other corrosive substances.
