But before that, ” How do you identify the type of connection your system needs ? “<\/p>\n

“Flexible Hoses or Rigid Piping\/Tubing”<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

The answer is simple – if the system or application demands a strong, less maintained, sturdy installation – go for tubes\/pipes and fittings. Yes, we said strong !<\/span><\/p>\n

The moment there is presence of vibration, \u201ctransportability\u201d, repeated maintenance possibility, then what comes into picture is a system designed to counter these factors – a mix of flexible and rigid. “Hoses + Pipes”<\/span><\/p>\n

The use and agility of a Hose system is unmatchable by a pipe system and vice versa. It now lies in the able hands of the designer to choose what best mix of advantages of either type needs to be leveraged.<\/em><\/p>\n

So coming back to – Single Ferrule or Double Ferrule ?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

The designs of both these fittings are essentially suited to each of its own applications it performs best at. The ability of a double ferrule fitting to strongly clamp onto a rigid tube or pipe and disallow unwanted passage of fluid through escape paths is very well known. Whereas, the single ferrule fitting has proven its ability to perform under high pressures, flawlessly at high pressures in higher size ranges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Single Ferrule in steel is a good choice for oil service, while the double ferrule design is suited more for gas applications”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is a preferred and widely accepted option. For oil based systems using steel components, we have always been great fans of hydraulic fittings by DICSA<\/strong><\/span>, Our customers have a very long relationship with DICSA<\/strong> products. In steel, these DIN2353<\/strong> metric compression fittings are exceptionally reliable. Installing the fittings and tube may be easy, the pulling up and bending a piping a system can be a considerable job. Yes, getting tubes pre bent if you are doing runs, will cut the time dramatically, and you can finish off the installation in less than half the time.<\/span><\/p>\n
