At FerroBend, we specialize in the production of SS 321 double ferrule fittings, delivering high-quality solutions that meet the stringent demands of our clients across industries such as chemical, oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation. SS 321 double ferrule fittings, the manufacturing process at FerroBend, and why our fittings are the preferred choice for businesses looking for reliable and durable solutions. SS 321 is highly resistant to corrosion, particularly in environments where there are high temperatures and exposure to chemicals or gases. The titanium content in SS 321 ensures that the fittings will remain strong and durable over extended periods of use.
Double ferrule fittings are a type of compression fitting used to create a secure connection between tubes or pipes, especially in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. They are designed with two ferrules (outer and inner), which are used to grip the tube and ensure a tight seal. The outer ferrule prevents the fitting from loosening, while the inner ferrule provides a secure and leak-proof connection.
SS 321 refers to a specific grade of stainless steel that contains titanium as an alloying element. It is primarily used in high-temperature applications because of its excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and stress cracking. SS 321 is particularly suitable for use in environments where temperatures range from 800°F (427°C) to 1600°F (871°C), making it a preferred material for applications in the aerospace, chemical, and energy sectors.
The double ferrule design ensures that the connection remains leak-free under high pressure and temperature. The ferrules are designed to compress tightly around the tube, forming a secure seal that prevents leaks and ensures the integrity of the system. SS 321 double ferrule fittings can be used in a wide range of applications, from fluid and gas transport to instrumentation systems. Their versatility makes them suitable for use in industries such as chemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and more.
Our skilled technicians use state-of-the-art CNC machines to precisely machine the SS 321 into the required shapes and sizes. The machining process is done with extreme precision to ensure that the fittings meet the exact specifications and tolerances required for their intended applications.
The double ferrule fittings are assembled by attaching the inner and outer ferrules to the body of the fitting. The ferrules are designed to compress around the tube to create a tight, leak-proof seal. We take special care to ensure that the ferrules fit perfectly and securely to guarantee the reliability of the fitting.
Before any fitting is dispatched, it undergoes a rigorous inspection process. This includes visual checks, dimensional inspections, and pressure testing to ensure that the fittings meet our strict quality standards. We also perform leak tests to verify that the fittings are leak-proof and will perform optimally in real-world applications.
