Tubing fittings can be classified into many different types based on different connection methods and materials. Some common tubing connectors include:
1. Flange Connector – This connector consists of two annular components called flanges, which are bolted together and clamp the tubing. Flange connectors are typically used in industrial equipment requiring frequent disassembly and maintenance.
2. Casing Fitting – A casing fitting connects two tubing sections by simultaneously fitting a loose sleeve between them. Casing fittings are typically used under high-pressure operating conditions, such as deep-sea oil wells.
3. Quick Coupling – This connector allows for quick disassembly and connection of tubing and is commonly used in industrial equipment with variable production and operating processes.
