The weld used in joining a tube to a socket weld tube fitting is like any other type of "tee" weld. The root (i.e., the point of intersection of the outside of the tube and annular end area of the fitting) must be included in the weld zone.Careful welding procedures More... are normally followed to assure that this root area is included in the weld. If penetration is not achieved, the joint will have two builtin stress risers which may greatly reduce the strength of the weld. Upon application of an extreme load, these stress risers could result in cracks which could propagate out through the weld or tube depending upon the direction of the greatest load.Often to achieve full root penetration in TIG welding of stainless steels, a fusion pass will be made first, followed by an final pass utilizing a filler rod to achieve the desired fillet size.NOTE:Other drop sizes available upon request.Dimensions for reference only, subject to change.

Parker Hannifin MPI™ connections are engineered and manufactured to be secure and gas-tight while being made manually (wrench turns) or hydraulically using a set tool. This connection has application throughout industry, including off-shore oil and gas exploration More... platforms, research labs, and other facilities that require operating pressures to 15,000 psi.MPI™ Fittings are ideally suited to handle liquids, gases, or chemicals and can be used on a wide variety of tubing materials including: Instrument Grade thick-walled annealed 316 SS, 1/8th Hard (cold drawn) 316 SS MPI tubing, and 2507 Super Duplex MPI tubing. Every Parker MPI™ Fitting is supplied complete with both ferrules and compression gland nut, ready to install.NOTE:Add to the part number either -SS or -2507 depending on selected material. (Example: 16-16 FBMP7-SS)Add "-Z6" to part number for part assembled with preset ferrules and nuts.Sizes 12 & 16 come pre-assembled with -XF and -Z6 OptionsDimensions in inches are for reference only, subject to change.
