Design and Manufacture

Hy-Lok tube fittings have been designed and manufactured with great care to meet the specifications required for
a wide range of applications in chemical, petrochemical, oil refineries, power generation, shipbuilding, pulp and papers,
semiconductor micro-electronics, etc. Each Hy-Lok tube fittings consists of four parts; body, front ferrule, back ferrule, and nut.
The two-ferrule design, front and back, compensates for any tolerances in tube O.D., wall thickness, material hardness and
always ensures outstanding leak-tight connections.

Torque and Distortion during Installation

When the nut is tightened, the back and front ferrules move axially. This axial movement does not allow any torque transfer from
the fitting to the tubing, and the mechanical properties of tubing are maintained.
During makeup, the back ferrule moves in such a controlled manner that the tubing is not overstressed and the tubing I.D. is not
excessively reduced, resulting in safe operation under high pressure or vibration. The front ferrule does not force the body to
expand, which allows the nut to be back off easily for disassembly and allows multiple remakes.

Unless otherwise specified, allowable working pressure is calculated from ASTM A269 tubing and an S value of 20,000psi (137,800kPa)
for ASTM A213 tubing at -28°C ~ 37°C (-20°F ~ 100°F) as specified in ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1 respectively.
Based on minimum wall thickness and maximum O.D. allowable by ASTM A269
For welded tubing, the following derating rate to be applied for weld integrity. (ASME B31.3 - 2014 Edition, Table A - 1B)
for double welded tubing : 0.85
for single welded tubing : 0.80
To determine bar, multiply psig by 0.0689 and to determine kPa by 6.89

Note :
1. All calculations are based on maximum outside diameter and minimum wall thickness without allowance for corrosion and erosion.
2. Care should be taken for temperature rating if tubing is coated or plated.
