Ferrule Fittings are made up of two components, the Body and Nuts, that come together to form a perfect joint. There are two different types of these fittings: single ferrule and double ferrule.
Single Ferrule
The nose of the ferrule serves two functions in the single ferrule fittings. The first is to bite into the tube to hold it, and the second is to give the coupling body a sealing part. Comparatively speaking, single ferrule fittings have a lower pressure rating than their twin-ferrule equivalent. These Stainless Steel Ferrule Fittings are made with the needs of the operators and ease of use in mind. Comparing it to double ferrule fittings, it has one fewer piece and is typically more challenging to install incorrectly. Despite their benefits, double ferrule fittings are frequently chosen over single ferrule fittings.
Double Ferrule
There are front and back ferrules on the twin or double ferrule fittings. The front and back ferrule of these ferrule fittings work together to form a seal. Two-ferrule also referred to as a double ferrule, comes in various materials. This type of ferrule fitting is the same size as single ferrule fittings in terms of size. Due to their strong mechanical grip construction, double ferrule fittings provide a perfect connection. This double ferrule fitting can be used with tubing of various widths and hardness levels.
Benefits of Single Ferrule Fittings
Ferrule fittings have a number of important benefits, such as the fact that piping is frequently attached using these fittings. The connector is primarily used with both types of fittings to connect the fiber cable to another cable, a transmitter, and a receiver.
For process, power, and instrumentation applications where leak-free connections are required, single ferrule designs, and compressed tube fittings, are ideal.
This kind of fitting is simple to install because it only requires three pieces: a nut, a body, and a single ferrule. A strong anti-vibration hold is also provided by the ferrule design on the tube.
