Inlet Port/Connection: Temperature Range -20°C to 120°C

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered fluid intake component designed for recovery tanks in industrial machinery, featuring standardized connection interfaces to ensure leak-free transfer of liquids, slurries, or gases from external sources into the tank reservoir. It incorporates flow control mechanisms and compatibility with various industrial hose and pipe systems.

Working Principle

Operates as a controlled entry point where fluid enters the recovery tank under pressure differential or gravity flow. The connection interface creates a sealed pathway using gaskets, O-rings, or compression fittings to prevent leaks. Flow may be regulated through integrated valves or by connection diameter limitations.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), brass, aluminum alloys, or engineered plastics (PTFE, PVC, polypropylene) depending on fluid compatibility and pressure requirements. Seals typically use Buna-N, Viton, or EPDM elastomers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of inlet connections for recovery tanks?

Common types include threaded (NPT, BSP), flanged, camlock, and quick-disconnect connections, selected based on pressure requirements, fluid type, and frequency of disconnection needs.

How do I prevent leaks at the inlet connection?

Ensure proper thread sealing with Teflon tape or thread sealant, use undamaged gaskets/O-rings, follow torque specifications during installation, and regularly inspect for wear or corrosion.

Can inlet ports be customized for specific applications?

Yes, manufacturers often provide custom port sizes, materials, and connection types to match specific flow rates, chemical compatibility requirements, or space constraints.
