Stainless Steel Tube Fittings
Stainless steel is the standard material for instrumentation tube fittings across oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and offshore applications. SS 316L is the most widely specified grade.
SS 316L
The industry default for instrumentation tube fittings — low carbon content prevents sensitisation; molybdenum addition provides superior chloride and acid resistance versus 304 grades. Specified as standard on most oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and offshore projects.
SS 316
Superior chloride and acid resistance — used where chloride exposure, marine atmosphere, or mild chemical service requires better corrosion resistance than 304.
SS 304 / 304L
General corrosion resistance at lower cost than 316L — suitable for water, steam, mild chemical, and food-grade applications where chloride exposure is limited.
Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steel Tube Fittings
Duplex and super duplex grades provide approximately twice the yield strength of 316L with excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking — the preferred choice for offshore and subsea instrumentation where standard 316L may be susceptible to SCC.
Duplex 2205
(UNS S31803 / S32205) Offshore topsides instrumentation, seawater injection, and chemical injection systems
Super Duplex 2507
(UNS S32750) Subsea instrumentation, high-chloride offshore service, and FPSOs — PREN ≥ 42
Nickel Alloy Tube Fittings
For aggressive chemical, sour gas, and high-temperature service where duplex stainless steel is insufficient — specified in chemical injection, downhole instrumentation, and severe process environments.
Inconel 625
(UNS N06625) Outstanding corrosion resistance in offshore, subsea, and chemical service; widely specified for downhole instrumentation and subsea chemical injection tubing
Hastelloy C276
(UNS N10276) Broad-spectrum resistance to aggressive acids, chlorides, and oxidising media; chemical and FGD process sample systems
Monel 400
(UNS N04400) Hydrofluoric acid service, seawater, and marine instrumentation systems
Alloy 20
(UNS N08020) Sulfuric acid and aggressive chemical process sample and instrumentation systems
Carbon Steel Tube Fittings
Carbon steel tube fittings are used in hydraulic systems, compressed air, general industrial service, and non-corrosive process applications where stainless steel is not required.
Carbon Steel
Precision-machined carbon steel bar stock — used in hydraulic circuits, compressed air distribution, and general industrial instrumentation where corrosion resistance is not required.
Zinc-Plated / Phosphated
Electroplated zinc or phosphated finish for enhanced surface corrosion protection — used in carbon steel DIN 2353 hydraulic fittings and general instrumentation in non-aggressive environments.
Special Grades & High-Purity Finishes
For semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and high-purity gas applications requiring electropolished internal surfaces and ultra-low extractable contamination.
Electropolished SS 316L (Ra ≤ 0.5 µm)
Pharmaceutical and biotech grade — electropolished internal surface for sterile process piping, pure steam, WFI, and clean compressed air systems in GMP-compliant facilities.
Electropolished SS 316L (Ra ≤ 0.25 µm)
Semiconductor / SEMI grade — ultra-high-purity electropolished finish to SEMI F57 standard for process gas delivery, specialty gas distribution, and wet chemistry in semiconductor fabs.
Titanium Grade 2
Exceptional corrosion resistance in seawater and oxidising media at low density — used in desalination and marine instrumentation where weight is a factor.
