These fittings are also known as quick connects or quick release couplings. Typically quick disconnect fittings are operated by hand. They often are used to replace […]
THE HISTORY OF PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES Pressure relief valves (safety relief valves) are designed to open at a preset pressure and discharge fluid until pressure drops to acceptable levels. The development of the safety relief valve has an interesting history. Denis Papin is credited by many sources as the originator of the first pressure relief […]
This white paper will help you to determine which miniature (barbed, push-to-connect, or compression) fitting type is suitable for your specific application. At the beginning of a new project, engineers and designers are faced with many important decisions regarding the selection of components. As you would expect, the most complex components are selected first. The […]
Introduction to Compression Fittings Compression fittings are one of the most common and versatile methods of connecting metal or hard plastic tubing. Particularly useful for their extreme temperature and pressure capabilities, and their compatibility with aggressive fluids, compression fittings can be seen in systems varying from gas lines in refineries, to the plumbing under your […]
