EG-LOK Tube Fittings: Superior Performance for Critical Applications Overview EG-LOK tube fittings are engineered to deliver exceptional reliability and performance in a wide range of industrial environments. These fittings are available in multiple materials, including an optimized 316 stainless steel formulation with elevated nickel, chromium, and other elements, offering superior resistance to corrosion in challenging conditions. Designed for use across numerous sectors such as chemical processing, sour gas, subsea systems, oil and gas, power, petrochemical, semiconductor, and more, EG-LOK fittings provide a robust solution for both high-pressure and vacuum applications. Their advanced design ensures leak-free connections, ease of installation, and long-term durability. Key Features EG-LOK twin ferrule fittings offer metal-to-metal sealing, eliminating the need for elastomeric seals and ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection. The fittings are built to withstand high working pressures, exceeding industry standards for all instrumentation-grade tubing. The stainless steel tubes used must have a hardness not exceeding 85 HRB, ensuring compatibility and performance. Available in sizes ranging from 1/16 inch to 2 inches (2 mm to 50 mm), these fittings accommodate a broad spectrum of system requirements. The materials used in EG-LOK fittings include 316 stainless steel, steel, brass, aluminum, nickel-copper, Hastelloy C, 6Mo, Incoloy 625, and 825, providing flexibility for different operating conditions. A special treated back ferrule enhances security, while silver-coated threads help prevent galling during assembly. These fittings are capable of handling high pressure, vacuum, and vibration, making them ideal for demanding environments. Detailed Description The design of EG-LOK tube fittings is centered around precision, strength, and adaptability. The twin ferrule system ensures a tight, metal-to-metal seal that resists leakage even under extreme conditions. This makes them particularly suitable for applications where safety and integrity are critical. The fittings are manufactured using high-quality raw materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each fitting is subjected to a hydraulic proof pressure test at 1.5 times the maximum permissible working pressure, with no signs of leakage. They also pass a disassembly and reassembly test, demonstrating their durability after being dismantled ten times. Additionally, they undergo a minimum hydrostatic pressure test at four times the ambient pressure rating and a vacuum test with a leak rate less than 1 x 10^-8, meeting the highest standards for performance and reliability. The versatility of EG-LOK fittings is further enhanced by a range of optional configurations, including
Instrumentation Pipe Fittings,
Weld Fittings, O-ring face seal fittings, miniature butt-weld fittings, long arm butt-weld fittings, automatic tube
Butt Weld Fittings, metal gasket face seal fittings, vacuum fittings, and vacuum adapter fittings. These options allow for seamless integration into various piping systems and equipment setups. Usage Scenarios EG-LOK tube fittings are widely used in industries that require high-performance, reliable connections. In chemical processing, they ensure safe transport of aggressive fluids without compromising system integrity. In sour gas environments, their corrosion-resistant properties make them a preferred choice. For subsea systems, their ability to withstand high pressure and corrosive seawater is essential. In the oil and gas sector, these fittings support both onshore and offshore operations, offering durability in harsh conditions. Power plants rely on them for high-pressure steam and cooling systems. Petrochemical facilities benefit from their resistance to extreme temperatures and chemicals. In the semiconductor industry, where cleanliness and precision are paramount, EG-LOK fittings provide a clean, leak-tight seal. They are also used in analytical and process instrumentation, where accuracy and consistency are vital. User Reviews Users consistently praise the performance and reliability of EG-LOK tube fittings. Many highlight the ease of installation and the ability to maintain a secure connection even after repeated disassemblies. Professionals in the oil and gas industry appreciate the fittings’ ability to handle high-pressure environments without failure. In the semiconductor and pharmaceutical sectors, users value the leak-tight and gas-tight seals, which contribute to product quality and safety. Overall, the fittings are seen as a trusted solution for critical applications where failure is not an option. Frequently Asked Questions What materials are available for EG-LOK tube fittings?
