Selection of the fitting type
The right part in the right position
The selection of the fitting type must take all feasible conditions into account. The internal end external factors that should definitively considered are listed in the following:
The internal end external factors that should definitively considered are listed in the following:
Temperature
- Ambient temperature
- Temperature of the medium under normal operation
- Temperature of the medium when system shut down
Pressure
- System pressure
- Pressure surges
Medium
- Chemical properties
- Viscosity
- State of matter
Flow volume
- Average flow volume
- Fluctuating flow volume
- Tube size
Assembly
- Serial fabrication of installation directly at system
- Available space on site
- Properties of the used tubes
Ambient conditions
- Temperatures
- Humidity
- Vibrations
- Atmosphere
Furthermore the following factors can be relevant for the selection of the fitting type:
- Applicable standards and regulations
- Specifications by the end customer
- Application type (e.g. mobile or stationary)
