What diameters does instrumentation come in?
Instrumentation, also known as Precision fittings, comes in diameters ranging from 3mm to 50mm and from 1/16” to 2”, though sizes above 25mm and above 1” are less common and usually custom manufactured.
Is it necessary to use special mounting fixtures for the manual bender?
No, OP-RM18 and VS-RM22 manual benders can be mounted in a vice.
Are bending machines suitable for bending rods?
Yes, but only smaller diameters, for example, 6 or 8 mm. This depends on the sturdiness of the bender and operator's strength.
What tubes can be bent with a manual tube bender?
Metric carbon steel and stainless steel tubes with 6 to 22 mm outer diameters, depending on the type of bending machine.
What are the consequences of incorrect selection of Triclover (Tri-clamp) couplings?
If two couplings made to different standards are not properly connected to each other, it may cause dead zones in the gaps due to the difference in inner diameters. This results in the accumulation of medium, which can lead to the growth of bacteria and microorganisms.
How to properly select a Triclover (Tri-clamp) coupling?
For weld-in couplings, you should measure the flange plate diameter at its widest point, bore diameter and wall thickness. For couplings with a hose tail, in addition to the diameter of the flange plate and bore, the diameter of the hose tail measured on the outside, at its widest point, is very important. This measurement [...]
How to install hygienic couplings?
Fittings with a serrated hose tail (used on rubber hoses) can be installed with safety clamps or crimped with ferrules, while fittings with a smooth hose tail (used on rubber and thermoplastic hoses) are mounted with safety clamps.
Where are hygienic couplings most often used?
Pharmaceutical and food industries are the most popular sectors. Because of ease of installation and "cleanliness" of the connection, they are also used in the chemical industry.
What are the types of hygienic couplings?
The most common hygienic couplings are DIN 11851couplings, SMS couplings, Triclover (Tri-clamp) couplings, RJT couplings, IDF couplings, Macon couplings.
Are the CAMLOCK couplings offered by the Tubes company compatible with couplings from other companies?
Yes. In the range from ½” to 4”, the couplings will be fully compatible with couplings from other manufacturers. However, for sizes above 4”, there is a risk that the couplings may not be compatible, which is why we suggest using a complete set of couplings from a single supplier.
