trykkinnklemmer

Trykkinnklemmer, also known as compression fittings or compression couplings, are mechanical devices used to join two pipes or tubes together. They are commonly employed in plumbing, gas fitting, and other fluid conveyance systems. The primary function of a trykkinnklemmer is to create a secure and leak-proof seal between the two pipes without the need for welding or soldering.

The design of a trykkinnklemmer typically involves a nut, a ferrule (or olive), and a body. When the nut is tightened, it compresses the ferrule around the pipes. This compression deforms the ferrule, creating a tight seal against the inner wall of the fitting body and the outer surface of the pipes. The ferrule effectively grips the pipes, preventing any movement or leakage.

Trykkinnklemmer are available in various materials, including brass, stainless steel, and plastic, to suit different applications and fluid types. They are particularly useful in situations where heat or open flames are undesirable, such as in certain industrial environments or when working with flammable materials. The ease of installation and disconnection makes them a convenient choice for temporary connections or when maintenance requires frequent disassembly. While they offer a reliable connection, it is crucial to use the correct size and type of trykkinnklemmer for the specific pipes and pressure requirements to ensure optimal performance and safety.
