SK Tube fittings are manufactured to stringent quality control program and internal standards which assure the highest quality available. Twin Ferrule Tube Fittings consists of four precisely machined components for a 100% Reliable LEAK PROOF joint. The function of the Back Ferrules is to provide a excellent and Anti vibration hold on the Tube. The function of the Front Ferrule is to provide a Pressure Seal between the Tube and the Body. Silver plating on the Nuts ensures No Galling on Body threads. Tube Fittings are designed to compensate variation in Tubing materials, hardness and wall thickness. Tube Fittings are Gaugeable for sufficient pull-up and allows repeated remake ability. These fittings are available for fractional and metric Tubes with the choice of Pipe threads, i.e NPT, BSP/ BSPT, SAE.
Tube Fittings has been designed for use in instrumentations, process & control system, analyses and environment employed in chemical, petroleum, power generating, Automobiles, Nuclear, Oil & gas, Ship Building, Power Plants, Process Instrumentation, Aerospace & Defence, CNG Stations.
Tube Fittings are available in assembled and ready to use conditions to provide a reliable and leak-proof connection in instrumentation and process tubing systems. The installation of these Tube Fittings is very simple. Just insert the tube inside the Tube Fittings Assembly and tighten the nut as per assembly (1.1/4 turn from finger-tight) and the joint is ready to take any kind of pressures from low to high. The front ferrule, as it is urged forward against the tapered area of the body is forced inward gripping and subsequently sealing the leading edge tightly onto tubing. Simultaneously the back ferrule, dove tailed directly behind the front ferrule, swages beneath its trailing edge affording the desired "coining" action and mechanical connection of tubing and fitting. It is this interaction of ferrules that allows SK to achieve its excellent sealing capabilities under a wide variety of application variables.
Two ferrule compression tube fittings are manufactured under strict quality control program and close tolerances. There is no international / national standard which is followed by tube fitting manufacturers to manufacture these fittings. Every manufacturer have their own design and tolerances which governs the product specifications. Hence for safety purpose, we do not recommend interchange and intermix the components manufactured by different manufacturers.
Tube Fittings are available in MOC 316 stainless steel as a standard. Tube fittings can also be manufactured in Brass, SS 316L, Monel and other exotic alloys upon request. Raw material outsourced meets requirements of one or more following ASTM specifications.

Always use thread sealants on pipe threads. Do not apply sealant / PTFE on tube end of fitting.
Always use O-rings / Gaskets with parallel threads.
All the Fitting manufactured by us are ultrasonically cleaned and free from oil and other impurities.
