How To Connect Seamless Precision Tube & Quick Exhaust Valve?

Choose the appropriate connection method

There are many ways to connect the quick exhaust valve and seamless precision tube. According to different scenarios and requirements, we can choose different connection methods. When choosing a connection method, the following factors need to be considered:

1. Whether the connection method is firm and reliable, and whether it is easy to disassemble and replace.

2. Whether the connection method has good sealing properties, and whether there will be leakage problems.

3. Whether the connection method is easy to install, and whether special tools or skills are required.

4. The cost and service life of the connection method, etc.

Recommended connection method

Based on the above factors, we can recommend the following connection methods:

1. Welding connection

This connection method uses welding technology to weld the quick exhaust valve and precision tube. This connection method is firm and reliable, with good sealing properties, but requires professional welding technology and equipment, and is not easy to disassemble and replace. For pipes such as seamless steel pipe, welding is a common connection method, which can also ensure its tight connection with the quick exhaust valve.

2. Flange connection

This connection method uses a flange to connect the quick exhaust valve and precision tube. This connection method requires the use of professional, high-quality flanges and gaskets provided by the flange supplier to ensure that the connection is firm and reliable, with good sealing, and easy to disassemble and replace.

3. Ferrule connection

This connection method uses a ferrule to connect the quick exhaust valve and the precision tube. This connection method is relatively simple and easy to install and replace, but the connection firmness and sealing are not as good as welding and flange connection.

4. Quick-plug connector

This connection method uses a quick-plug connector connection method and precision tube for connection. No tools are required, just twist and connect; supports multiple quick disassembly and assembly; but the unit price is high, and it needs to be selected carefully under extremely high pressure. Suitable for automated assembly lines, modular pneumatic units, and fast switching stations. In some heat exchanger tube systems with high requirements for fast assembly, quick-plug connectors can improve installation efficiency.

Advantages and disadvantages of various connection methods

1. Welding connection

The advantage is that the connection is firm and reliable, with good sealing; the disadvantage is that professional welding technology and equipment are required for precision steel tube, and it is not easy to disassemble and replace.

2. Flange connection

The advantages are firm and reliable connection, good sealing, easy to disassemble and replace; the disadvantages are that professional flanges and gaskets are required for precision tube, and the cost is relatively high.

3. Ferrule connection

The advantages are simple connection, easy installation and replacement, and low cost; the disadvantages are that the connection firmness and sealing are not as good as welding and flange connection for seamless precision tube.

4. Quick-plug connector

The advantages are installation in seconds; modular replacement; no tools required; the disadvantages are slightly lower pressure resistance limit; relatively high procurement cost.

Summary

If you pursue extreme reliability and zero leakage, welding or flange is preferred; if you need quick disassembly and modular maintenance, quick-plug connectors or ferrules are preferred; seek a balance between cost and life, and select the best solution based on specific pressure, temperature and frequency of use. In short, when choosing a connection method, you need to consider various factors according to the specific situation and choose the appropriate connection method for precision tube.
