Fittings
NewAll-InclusiveFittingsChapter
In this catalog, we’ve taken a new approach to presenting our extensive
line of fttings. In one comprehensive chapter, you will fnd fttings for
several applications—very high pressure (>15,000 psi/1,034 bar), high
pressure (>1,000 psi/69 bar), and low pressure (<1,000 psi/69 bar).
There is also a separate section for micro and nano-scale applications.
Beyond the pressure rating of the fttings, there are other important
features to be aware of as you select the appropriate fitting for
your application:

Additionally, you will fnd “ftting” related application notes and, if
available, special ordering options throughout the chapter.
Please Note: in the product descriptions, a “Fitting” refers to a
complete product ready to assemble and connect tubing into a part.
This could be a one-piece connector or a nut and ferrule packaged
together. A “Nut” indicates themale or female threaded product sold
separately, and a “Ferrule” is sold separately when indicated in the
description. For your convenience we ship most Upchurch Scientifc
®
Fittings and Ferrules in 10-packs, however, you may order individual
pieces (an “x” in the product part number designates “10-pk”).
You may notice a change in some of our pressure ratings – be assured
that the IDEX Health & Science team is dedicated to providing the
most reliable, proven products on the market. We have implemented
more stringent testing protocols and a generous safety margin to our
ratings to ensure your safety.
Please Note: all testing is performed with water at room temperature
unless otherwise specifed. Resultsmay vary depending on thematerial
of the receiving port and tubing, actual tubing diameters (with stated
tolerances), temperature and solvents used. If a pressure range is
listed for a product’s specifcation, the pressure rating depends on
the tubing material used. The lower end of the range will represent
testing performed on softer tubing such as FEP, and the higher end of
the range will represent testing performed on harder tubing such as
Stainless Steel. For more detail, please see the product specifcation
sheets on our website, www.idex-hs.com, or contact us directly.
