Swagelok Tube Fitting, 1/4 in Ferrule Set, Gaugeable, Stick of 10 Sets, Monel Alloy 400/R-405. PN: M-400-SET

The Swagelok® ferrule set consists of one front and one back ferrule, required to properly make up Swagelok tube fitting connections. The ferrules are made of Monel alloy 400/R-405. Sold on a "stick" with 10 ferrule sets per stick.

Monel is a nickel alloy composed primarily of nickel and coppper with small amounts of iron, manganese, carbon and silicon. It has high strength at elevated temperatures (up to 1000 degrees C) and is stronger than pure nickel. Monel is highly rust and corrosion resistant to salts and acids. R-405 includes a small amount of sulpher which aids in it being machined. Monel is a registered trademark of Special Metals Corporation.

These industry standard Swagelok compression-type fittings and components are precision manufactured and offer a gas-tight, metal-on-metal seal. They are available in standard fractional tubing sizes for making up metallic tubing. Polished surface finishes and high purity materials virtually eliminate these fittings as a source of system contamination.

They can be used for any fluid flow application and provide leak-tight service from vacuum to positive pressure. These fittings offer consistent gaugeability upon initial installation and are easy to disconnect and retighten reliably.

The two-ferrule design of these fittings make them easy to install and no torque is transmitted to the tubing during installation. The two ferrules separate sealing and tube gripping functions; each ferrule is optimized for its function. Available Swagelok gap inspection gauges assure sufficient pull-up upon initial installation.

Swagelok tube fitting ends are rated to the working pressure of tubing as listed in the Swagelok Tubing Data download.
