• Instrumentation tube fittings are mainly used for
  stopping leakage and to making it leak-proof. In
  various instrumentations, they are used for
  torque for seal also. The usage is not limited to
  these, but there are many reasons they are widely
  used in different instrumentation and many areas.
• Hydrox Fittings formerly known as A. R.
  Engineering is Manufacturer, Supplier, and
  Exporter of Instrumentation / Tube Fittings,
  Instrumentation Valves in Mumbai.
• It brings rich engineering experience of more
  than one and a half decades and trained,
  qualified staff, and the latest machinery.
• Our instrumentation tube fittings are used for
  process tube connections also. The products will
  help in stopping all types of costly leakage.
  With the international standard fittings
  available at affordable prices clients can be
  assured of the best performance and value for
  money.

• Types of Instrumentation tube Fittings

• Instrumentation Tube fittings are available in
  four different types. They are primarily
  distinguished by their applications and end
  connections. Each of the fittings has its own
  drawbacks and benefits. Therefore, one has to
  study the requirement specs before choosing a
  particular type of instrumentation tube fitting.

• Cone and Thread Fittings

• Cone and Thread (CT) fittings are useful in
  high-pressure applications.  But they can be used
  in moderately pressure applications as well.
  These tubes are coned and countersunk into the
  fitting. Thus, a secure connection is
  established.
• It is important to have precision-shaped tube
  endings and fine surface finish and threads.
  Thus, tubes are assembled tightly against the
  junction. They fit closely, hence, they are
  useful where the pressure of the fluid is more.

• Butt Weld Fittings

• A butt weld fitting is a vibration-absorbing
  assembly. Since the metals are bonded
  permanently, a well-formed butt weld has the best
  resistance to vibration and fatigue. A butt weld
  fitting connection is an expensive of the three
  basic types of instrumentation fitting assemblies.

• Compression Fittings

• Compression fittings are the easiest to use. They
  are most frequently used. The three components of
  this fitting are the nut, body, and ferrule.
  These fittings have a secure hold on the surface.
  They do not need any specific equipment or tool.
• Compression fittings are the least pricey overall
  assembly due to their ease of installation.

• Push-To-Connect Pneumatic Fittings

• As the name suggests, Push-to-connect fittings
  have an internal collet and an external push
  button that connect tubing. These fittings allow
  for instant connections without the use of tools.
  Even the disconnection is just as simple.

• Advantages of Instrumentation Tube Fittings

• Double ferrule compression fittings ensure that
  the body threads do not gall.
• These fittings offer great corrosion resistance.
• The bodies of these fittings can be measured.
• Instrumentation tube fittings offer zero leakage
  under a full range of demanding operating
  circumstances.
• The fittings have excellent corrosion, high
  pressure, and extreme temperature resistance.
• Since instrumentation tube fittings are simple to
  use, they can save time and money on maintenance.
• These fittings are reusable.
• Through their leak-proof fitting joints can
  endure high-pressure vacuum and vibration
  operations.
• Compression fittings with two ferrules can be
  successfully used for low-torque applications.
