Is the Straight connector made of acetal copolymer (POM) suitable for both gas and liquid applications up to 10 bar?

Yes. The Straight connector, made of acetal copolymer (POM), is designed for use in control systems and installations for the transport of gases and liquids (and vacuum systems) and is rated for a working pressure up to 10 bar. Therefore it is suitable for both gas and liquid applications within that pressure limit, provided that the specific gas or liquid and the application's temperature, chemical compatibility, and safety requirements are compatible with acetal copolymer (POM).

Can the Straight connector in acetal copolymer be used in vacuum systems and what pressure limits apply?

Yes. The Straight connector in acetal copolymer (POM) is specified for use in vacuum systems. Its stated working pressure is up to 10 bar; in vacuum applications this means it is suitable for typical low- to medium-vacuum ranges where pressure differential does not exceed the equivalent of 10 bar (approx. 1,000 kPa). For deep vacuum or high differential stress, verify system-specific requirements (leak tightness, temperature, chemical exposure) and test accordingly, since material and joint design can limit performance despite the 10 bar working rating.

Does the Straight connector in acetal copolymer (POM) resist common chemicals used in control and vacuum systems?

Yes. the Straight connector made of acetal copolymer (POM) shows good general resistance to many common chemicals encountered in control and vacuum systems, but with important qualifications. What it resists well: - Water and neutral aqueous solutions - Common oils and lubricants used in pneumatic and hydraulic control lines - Many fuels and aliphatic hydrocarbons (light oils, kerosene) - Alcohols (methanol, ethanol) at moderate concentrations and temperatures - Many cleaning agents and detergents of neutral pH Limitations / avoid: - Strong acids and strong alkalis (concentrated sulfuric, hydrochloric, sodium hydroxide). these can chemically attack POM - Chlorinated hydrocarbons (methylene chloride, chloroform) and some aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylenes) may cause swelling, stress cracking or degradation - Ketones (acetone, MEK) and esters tend to attack POM and should be avoided - Strong oxidizers (nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide at high concentrations) can degrade the polymer - High concentrations of aggressive solvents, prolonged exposure, elevated temperatures, or mechanical stress increase risk of failure Practical guidance: - For typical control, gas/liquid transport and vacuum service using neutral fluids, oils, and alcohols at ambient temperatures and pressures up to 10 bar, the Straight connector (POM) is generally suitable. - For systems involving aggressive solvents, strong acids/bases, chlorinated solvents, ketones, or elevated temperature/pressure, verify chemical compatibility for the specific fluid, concentration and temperature. Consider alternative materials (e.g., stainless steel, PTFE) if compatibility is uncertain. If you provide the specific chemicals, concentrations and operating temperatures, a definitive compatibility assessment can be given.
