Druckanschlüsse

Druckanschlüsse, also known as pressure fittings or pressure connections, are components used to connect pressurized fluid systems. They are designed to withstand and maintain a specific pressure, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the system. These fittings are crucial in a wide range of applications, including hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and process engineering.

The primary function of a Druckanschluss is to create a sealed and secure junction between various parts of a pressurized line, such as hoses, pipes, valves, and components. This connection must prevent leakage of the fluid (liquid or gas) and withstand the operational pressure without failure. Materials used for Druckanschlüsse vary depending on the application, with common choices including steel, stainless steel, brass, and various polymers.

Druckanschlüsse come in numerous designs and configurations to suit different needs. Common types include threaded connections, flanged connections, and specialized quick-connect fittings. Threaded connections often use tapered or parallel threads with sealing mechanisms like O-rings or sealing tape. Flanged connections utilize a flat surface with bolt holes, creating a seal with a gasket. Quick-connect fittings allow for rapid assembly and disassembly, often employing a locking mechanism.

The selection of the appropriate Druckanschluss is critical and depends on factors such as the working pressure, the type of fluid, the operating temperature, and the required sealing performance. Proper installation and maintenance are also essential to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of pressurized systems. Incorrectly chosen or installed Druckanschlüsse can lead to leaks, system malfunctions, and potential safety hazards.
