Is the CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass suitable for petroleum transfer at up to 10 bar and which sizes support this pressure?

Yes. The CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass is suitable for petroleum transfer at pressures up to 10 bar, provided it is used within the size range rated for that pressure. The product specification states a working pressure: up to 10 bar, depending on connector size. Materials (brass body, AISI 304 levers, NBR sealing) are appropriate for typical petroleum applications, but allowable pressure depends on the specific size . smaller diameters usually support higher working pressures than larger diameters. Before use, confirm the exact connector sizeâs rated working pressure from the manufacturerâs size-pressure chart and ensure compatibility with the fluid, temperature, hose type, and applicable safety standards.

Can CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass be used with NBR seals in aggressive petrochemical fluids and what are compatibility limits?

CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass with NBR seals can be used with some petrochemical fluids but has important compatibility limits. NBR (nitrile) resists hydrocarbons, mineral oils and fuels well up to about 70â100Â°C and is suitable for many aliphatic hydrocarbons and petroleum-based products. It shows poor resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene), chlorinated solvents, ketones, certain esters and strong oxidizers - these can cause swelling, hardening or rapid degradation. Brass body and AISI 304 levers are generally acceptable for many fuels but can suffer dezincification in aggressive chloride- or ammonia-containing environments. Working pressure up to 10 bar depends on size; chemical compatibility and temperature reduce safe use. Recommendation: verify fluid-specific compatibility (chemical family, concentration, and operating temperature/pressure). For aggressive petrochemicals or temperatures above ~100Â°C, choose FKM/Viton or PTFE seals and confirm metallurgy.

Can CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass be used in food-grade applications with NBR seals?

Generally no. CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass with NBR seals is not recommended for broad foodâgrade applications. Why: - NBR (nitrile rubber) is not inherently foodâgrade. While some NBR compounds can meet food contact standards (e.g., FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 or EU foodâcontact regulations), standard industrial NBR typically does not. You must verify the specific NBR formulation and manufacturer certification for food contact. - Brass may contain lead or other alloying elements that can leach into food or beverages unless the brass is a certified leadâfree alloy (e.g., UNS C69300 / âfreeâcuttingâ or other plumbing leadâfree grades). For potable or food applications, a documented leadâfree brass is required by many regulations. - Construction and finish matter: corrugated/ribbed hose ends and Camlock fittings used in petrochemical transfer may have surface roughness, residues, or contaminants from manufacturing that are unacceptable for food use unless cleaned and certified. - Standards and approvals: Food applications typically require components certified to relevant standards (FDA, EC 1935/2004, NSF, 3-A, etc.). The listed description (MIL-C-27487, brass, AISI 304 levers, NBR seals) indicates an industrial petrochemical design, not automatic compliance with foodâgrade standards. When it might be acceptable: - If the specific CAMLOCK C connector socket with corrugated hose end, brass is supplied with documented foodâgrade NBR (FDA/EU certified) and the brass is certified leadâfree for food contact, and the part is cleaned and certified to applicable food standards, then it can be used for certain food applications within manufacturerâs stated temperature and pressure limits. - Also confirm compatibility of NBR with the specific food product (fats, oils, acidic products can attack NBR; for fatty foods EPDM or FKM may be preferable). Recommendation: - Request written certifications from the supplier for the exact part: NBR foodâcontact certification, brass composition/leadâfree declaration, and any applicable food safety/cleaning/sanitation approvals. If unavailable, choose a connector explicitly specified and certified for food use.
