painepuristusliitokset

Painepuristusliitokset, also known as compression fittings, are a type of pipe fitting used to join pipes or tubes together. They work by using a nut and a ferrule or ring that is compressed onto the pipe when the nut is tightened. This compression creates a seal, preventing leaks. They are commonly used in plumbing, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic applications. The ferrule, often made of brass, copper, or plastic, deforms to create a watertight or airtight connection.

There are several types of painepuristusliitokset, including single ferrule (or olive) and double ferrule designs. Single ferrule fittings use a single ring that is squeezed onto the pipe. Double ferrule fittings use two ferrules that are compressed against each other and the pipe, providing a more robust and secure connection, especially under higher pressures or vibrations. These fittings are advantageous because they do not require welding or soldering, making installation quicker and simpler, particularly in areas where heat is a concern.

The materials used for painepuristusliitokset vary depending on the application and the fluid being conveyed. Common materials include brass, stainless steel, and various plastics. The selection of the appropriate fitting material is crucial to ensure compatibility with the pipe material and the operating environment to prevent corrosion or premature failure. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended to ensure the integrity of the connections over time.
