Is the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel compatible with powders and granules but not suitable for steam or gases?

Yes. The GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel Format is intended for industrial and bulk handling installations of powders and granules and is explicitly not suitable for the transmission of steam and gases. It is designed with a symmetrical connection part and manufactured to EN 14420-8/NF-E-29572. Note that the described unit uses aluminum body, black FKMâVITON sealing (operating temperature â10Â°C to +180Â°C) and a working pressure of 16 bar; these materials and specifications are appropriate for powders and granules but limit use with steam and gaseous media.

Can the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel be used for abrasive powders and granules in industrial bulk handling?

GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel Format described (intended for powders and granules in industrial/bulk handling) is not fully compatible with the provided product description: the description states material = aluminum, sealing = black FKMâVITON, working pressure 16 bar, temp range â10Â°C to +180Â°C, and specifies NOT suitable for steam and gases. For abrasive powders and granules key concerns are material hardness/wear resistance and seal compatibility. Conclusion: If your actual part is stainless steel Format, it may be acceptable for abrasive powders/granules, but the quoted description (aluminum body, FKM seal) suggests limited abrasion resistance-aluminum will wear faster than stainless steel and FKM may be affected by some chemicals. Ensure the connector is truly stainless steel, confirm abrasion resistance, choose wearâresistant design or protective coatings, and verify seal material compatibility with your product. Also confirm EN 14420â8/NFâEâ29572 compliance and that operating pressure/temperature suit your process.

Can the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel be used in high-humidity environments?

Yes. the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel Format can be used in high-humidity environments, with some limitations. Reasons supporting suitability: - The connectorâs stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance and durability in moist conditions compared with aluminum or untreated steels. - Sealing with black FKM (Viton) rubber offers excellent resistance to water and many chemicals, maintaining a reliable seal in humid environments. - Operating temperature range (â10Â°C to +180Â°C) covers temperatures where condensation commonly occurs, so normal temperature-humidity cycles are acceptable. Limitations and precautions: - The product description states it is not suitable for transmission of steam and gases. Continuous exposure to steam or high-temperature, high-humidity conditions (near or above 100Â°C) is therefore contraindicated. - FKM/Viton has good but not universal chemical resistance; if humid environments contain aggressive chemicals (chlorides, acids, alkalis) or salt spray (marine conditions), long-term corrosion or seal degradation may occur unless specifically confirmed compatible. - For very long-term outdoor or marine exposure, additional corrosion protection or material verification may be advisable. - Ensure compatibility of the mating parts and installation to avoid crevice corrosion or trapped moisture. Conclusion: Use the GUILLEMIN connector with BSP male thread, stainless steel Format in high-humidity environments for typical industrial handling of powders and granules, avoiding exposure to steam, aggressive chemicals, or sustained high-temperature steam conditions. Conduct an application-specific assessment for corrosive or marine atmospheres.
