Is the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP female thread, aluminum suitable for transporting steam or gases?

No . the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP female thread, aluminum Format is not suitable for transporting steam or gases. The product description explicitly states it is designed for industrial and bulk material handling installations (granules) and is not suitable for transmission of steam and gases. Additionally, its white NBR rubber sealing and operating temperature range (â10Â°C to +80Â°C) are not appropriate for many steam applications, which typically require higher temperatures and specific seal materials. Use this connector only for its intended solid/bulk material purposes.

Can the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP female thread, aluminum be used for high-temperature bulk material transfer above 80Â°C?

No. The GUILLEMIN connector with BSP female thread, aluminum is rated for an operating temperature range of -10Â°C to +80Â°C and uses white NBR rubber sealing. It is therefore not suitable for continuous highâtemperature bulk material transfer above 80Â°C; using it above that limit risks seal failure, loss of pressure integrity and potential safety hazards. Also not suitable for steam or gas. For transfers above 80Â°C choose a connector and sealing material rated for the higher temperature and compatible with your product and pressure requirements.

Does the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP female thread, aluminum resist chemical exposure from common bulk granule additives?

It depends on the specific additives. The GUILLEMIN connector with BSP female thread, aluminum offers good general resistance to many bulk material additives, but some chemicals will attack either the aluminum body or the white NBR sealing. Key points to assess compatibility: - Body material: aluminum resists many salts and dry mineral powders but is vulnerable to strong alkalis, chlorides at high concentration, and some organic acids or solvents that can cause pitting, corrosion or surface degradation. Fine, abrasive, or hygroscopic additives that hold moisture can accelerate corrosion. - Seal: white NBR (nitrile rubber) performs well with oils, many hydrocarbons, greases and common nonpolar additives, but has limited resistance to strong acids, strong oxidizers, certain ketones, esters, and polar solvents. Temperature range (â10Â°C to +80Â°C) must also be respected; exposure outside this range accelerates degradation. - Operating conditions: working pressure up to 16 bar is adequate for many bulk-handling uses, but the description explicitly excludes steam and gases. corrosive vapors and high humidity or steam can attack both aluminum and NBR. - Standards and design: EN 14420-8/NF-E-29572 and symmetrical design suit industrial bulk granule installations, but do not change chemical compatibility. Recommendation: Verify the exact chemical composition of the bulk granule additives and check compatibility charts for aluminum and NBR. If additives include strong alkalis, chlorides, acids, oxidizers, ketones, esters, or aggressive solvents, consider alternative materials (stainless steel body, FKM/EPDM/VitonÂ® or PTFE seals) or protective coatings. If you provide the specific additive names and concentrations, I can give a definitive compatibility assessment.
