Component Specifications

Definition
A critical fluid transfer component designed to create a secure, leak-proof connection between external gas supply lines and the inlet manifold of processing equipment. It ensures controlled gas flow entry while maintaining system pressure integrity and preventing contamination.
Working Principle
Operates by providing a sealed interface between the gas supply line and manifold inlet. The fitting's internal geometry directs gas flow into the manifold chamber while maintaining pressure through precision threading, gaskets, or compression mechanisms that prevent leaks.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 316L/304), brass (C36000), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or engineered plastics (PTFE, PEEK) depending on gas compatibility, pressure requirements (typically 0-1000 psi), and temperature range (-40°C to 200°C).
Technical Parameters
  • Leak Rate <1×10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s helium
  • Port Size 1/4" to 2" standard
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sealing surfaces
  • Connection Type NPT, BSPP, SAE, or flange
  • Pressure Rating Up to 1000 psi
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 200°C
Standards
ISO 1179, DIN 3852, ASME B1.20.1

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine material selection for inlet port fittings?

Material selection depends on gas chemical compatibility (corrosion resistance), operating pressure/temperature, regulatory requirements (FDA/USP Class VI for food/pharma), and cost. Stainless steel offers broad chemical resistance, while plastics provide cost savings for non-critical applications.

How often should inlet port fittings be inspected?

Visual inspection monthly for leaks/corrosion, torque verification quarterly, and replacement per manufacturer schedule (typically 2-5 years) or when leak tests exceed 1×10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s. High-cycle systems require more frequent checks.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
