Hy-Lok Tube Fittings
Hy-Lok manufactures a wide range of tube fittings that meet the specifications required of the many industries and applications we serve, like oil and gas, petrochemical, hydrogen, aerospace, instrumentation, and so much more.
Our fittings are available in various finishes, including 316 stainless steel, brass, and carbon steel, for your convenience. To ensure a leak-tight connection and seal, each Hy-Lok tube fitting comprises four pieces: body, front ferrule, back ferrule, and nut.
Many factors influence the fitting an application requires, like pressure ratings, temperature, material, and the fluid or gas the system controls. From standard everyday use to withstanding harsh temperature demands like -425°F to 1200°F, Hy-Lok’s tube fittings have you covered.
Carbon vs Stainless Steel: What’s the difference?
Stainless steel is the most popular alloy used in manufacturing because of its durability, easy-to-clean nature, and shiny finish. However, with a slight change in alloy composition, carbon steel outperforms standard stainless in applications requiring a more robust metal.
Carbon steel is instrumental in the industrial sector, as it performs well in demanding environments that may otherwise damage other alloys. Depending on the application, you can source carbon steel tube connectors from Hy-Lok with low, medium, high, and ultra-high carbon content.
Benefits of Carbon Steel
- Durable: Carbon steel is a popular choice for heavy-duty industrial applications like construction and automotive industries due to its extreme durability and shock-resistant properties. It is also not prone to corrosion and rotting as much as other metals.
- Economical: Unlike most other metals, carbon steel can be made very thin while maintaining its tensile strength. Carbon steel is a cost-effective choice for manufacturing and purchasing, especially when aesthetics don’t matter.
- Green: Carbon steel is an environmentally friendly material that is 100% recyclable and easily reusable in various other applications. Additionally, it is an energy-efficient material that requires less energy to produce compared to other materials like copper or aluminum.
- Safe: Steel is one of the most commonly used materials in the world, and for good reason. It is safe to handle and work with many industrial applications thanks to its durability, flexibility, reliability, and eco-friendliness.
