Features:
Engineered for Corrosive Fluid HandlingDesigned to safely convey corrosive media, the MS PTFE Lined Equal Cross stands out for its compatibility with a wide range of chemicals. The virgin PTFE lining, with a Shore D hardness of 5560 and thickness between 35 mm, provides excellent barrier properties against chemical attacks, making these fittings indispensable in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical industries.
Precision Standards and Quality AssuranceEvery equal cross is manufactured following stringent international norms such as ASTM F1545 and DIN 2848, ensuring dimensional accuracy and consistent performance. State-of-the-art processes like isostatic or paste extrusion for PTFE lining, plus 100% factory leakage and spark testing at 15 kV AC, guarantee product reliability and mechanical integrity during demanding operations.
FAQs of MS PTFE Lined Equal Cross:
Q: How is the PTFE lining applied inside the MS equal cross?
A: The PTFE lining is applied using either an isostatic or paste-extruded process, ensuring uniform thickness and excellent adhesion to the mild steel shell. This process provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and ensures the lining remains intact during pressure and vacuum conditions.
Q: What industries benefit most from using MS PTFE Lined Equal Crosses with flanged ends?
A: These fittings are essential in chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries where handling aggressive or corrosive fluids is required. Their robust design and resistance to a wide range of chemicals reduce maintenance needs and increase operational safety.
Q: When should I choose a PTFE lined equal cross over other materials?
A: Opt for a PTFE lined equal cross when your process involves highly corrosive or reactive chemicals that can degrade metals or other plastics. PTFEs exceptional corrosion resistance and capacity to withstand full vacuum up to 100C make it the preferred choice for demanding applications.
Q: Where can these equal crosses be installed, considering pressure, temperature, and connection guidelines?
A: They can be installed in pipelines with flanged connections, handling temperatures from -25C to +180C and pressures up to PN10/PN16/150#, as per design parameters. The flanged ends ensure secure, leak-proof installation in industrial piping systems.
Q: What quality assurance and testing procedures are followed for each product?
A: Each equal cross undergoes hydrostatic testing at 1.5 times the design pressure, a 100% leakage test, and a lining spark test at 15 kV AC to ensure integrity. Inspection certificates are available upon request, and dimensional tolerances strictly follow international standards.
Q: How does the product ensure electrical continuity, and is this feature optional?
A: A conductivity strip can be provided on request to ensure electrical continuity, helping dissipate static charges and increasing safety during the transfer of certain fluids. This feature is optional and provided as per customer requirements.
Q: What are the benefits of using MS PTFE Lined Equal Crosses in fluid handling applications?
A: The main advantages include excellent corrosion resistance, minimal maintenance, compliant marking for traceability, ability to handle full vacuum and high pressures, and provision of inspection certificates on request. These features ensure safe, long-lasting performance even in the most challenging environments.
