Industrial fluid and gas transfer systems are oftentimes designed with highly complex system components, along with varied processing or manufacturing conditions. Some common examples of applications you will see these systems used include large electronics cooling, hydraulic systems, and manufacturing plants. To meet the exact demands of your application, it may be necessary to craft custom industrial connectors. Here are some of the key-uses and benefits to sourcing these custom fluid and gas transfer components.
ISO standard sizing credentials may work for several applications, but fall short for fluid transfer systems that require atypical sizing, or jump sizing between equipment produced by two separate OEM’s. To solve this sizing issue, custom industrial connectors can be built for the exact application you are working with, using advanced computer modeling and CNC manufacturing processes.
For processing or manufacturing applications that experience extreme temperature variation, it may be beneficial to source custom industrial connectors that allow you to carefully select the material choice for the body and the seal of the connector. If you utilize a connector that cannot withstand the temperature variation experienced at your facilities, you could potentially cause a rupture in the connection, and put your operations out of service for days to weeks.
Not all manufacturing and processing systems are straight-forward. Complexities associated with the design of the system, sizing constraints of your facilities, and synchronizing all systems for efficient operation can sometimes call for custom solutions for many components. Custom industrial connector manufacturers will be able to design a connector that will work for your unique application, and can be replicated for repairs elsewhere in the system.
There are numerous ways your given fluid or gas could behave in your manufacturing facilities. Viscosity, temperature requirements, chemical make ups and flow rates can all impact the efficiency and longevity of the connector. These potential fluids and gases can behave in a number of different ways. Depending on the chemical makeup, temperature, thickness, and flow rates—custom quick disconnect couplings can be built with a number of different materials, coatings, and seals.
Safety is always the top concern of any fluid and gas transfer operation. The custom industrial connector you build should be able to withstand 3 times the operating pressure of the system, in case the system reaches a peak pressure spike during operations. This will prevent any connectors from potentially bursting and compromising the entire transfer process.
