Stainless Steel Tube Fittings
Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings Supplier in China
Stainless steel tube fittings is a critical component in a fluid transfer system. Its core function is to act as a critical node for connection, sealing and control.Profab utilizes a graded process control for the surface treatment of stainless steel tube fittings. From degreasing and pickling to mechanical and electrolytic polishing and finally passivation and in-line cleaning. This ensures that the surfaces of these stainless steel tube fittings are free of free iron, burns and residues.
Profab Machine can realize different finishes from matte to mirror as per customer’s requirement. We issue surface roughness (Ra) and specular reflectivity test reports according to specified standards.Profab ss tube fittings meet the stringent requirements of hygiene and corrosion resistance in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) is the highest internal pressure that a fitting can safely withstand at a given temperature.
The following tables, based on the ASME B31.3 and B31.1 codes, provide the maximum allowable working pressures for different sizes of ss pipe fittings at room temperature (22∘C).

There is a negative correlation between working pressure and temperature. As the temperature increases, the mechanical strength of the stainless steel material gradually decreases, which leads to a weakening of its pressure-bearing capacity. Therefore, the MAWP at room temperature must be depressurized to ensure safety in high-temperature environments.
The user is required to multiply the MAWP at room temperature by the corresponding depressurization factor to obtain the true maximum working pressure at a given high temperature.
For example, a 316 stainless steel fitting with a working pressure of 2600 psig at ambient temperature and a temperature coefficient of 0.76 at 537∘C would reduce the MAWP to 1976 psig.
