FK Medium Pressure Fitting Essentials
FK Medium Pressure Fitting Essentials (4 Hours)
Learn quickly how to work with FK series medium-pressure fittings, which install up to five times faster than cone and thread fittings! By using FK fittings, you can reduce installation time, assembly, and maintenance costs. The fittings are vibration-resistant and offer a leak-tight gas seal for applications up to 20 000 psig (1378 bar). They are ideal for use in challenging environments where secure, high-pressure connections are critical.
This class will prepare you can safe, optimal performance of FK fittings and related products in medium and high pressure systems and establish maintenance and trouble-shooting techniques. Ultimately the result should be an increase in system efficiency and improved system safety.
The following topics are covered:
- Identify and understand key design characteristics of the FK series fittings
- Learn about the variables and considerations when selecting suitable medium-pressure tubing, and how to properly prepare it for installation with the FK fitting
- Properly install a Swagelok FK tube fitting using installation by turns. Watch demonstration of installation by torque and installation with the hydraulic swaging unit.
- Identify and list common installation errors and recognize how to avoid them
- Component identification
- Safety considerations
- Medium pressure tube preparation and handling
Full classes of up to 15 attendees are available onsite at you location or please watch our calendar for open enrollment classes.
