Partnership cuts costs for fluid-instrument users

Parker Hannifin is running a supply service with Sandvik Materials Technology that will cut costs for users of fluid instrumentation.

The supply service allows complete packages of tube fittings and tubing to be bought in a single order.

Parker/Sandvik packages feature fluid-instrumentation tubing components with genuine integrity and that perform to specification - vital for plants processing harsh media, or in corrosive environments.

This quality control begins with an audit trail for the raw materials.

Sandvik melts its own steel to ensure quality control from the point of steel melting, right through to the finished product.

This level of attention to detail extends from the design and manufacturing chain up to performance verification by independent third-party test houses.

Parker Hannifin's alliance with Sandvik covers seamless instrumentation tubing in 316/316L stainless steel, plus a range of the most commonly used exotic alloys, including 304/304L, 6Mo, 321, SAF 2507, 625, 825 and Hastelloy C276.

Sandvik sells stainless-steel tubing and materials for dealing with harsh pressure and corrosion-prone conditions in the offshore oil and gas industry.

Parker Hannifin's range of threadless tube fittings includes industry standard twin-ferrule compression types - which feature the corrosion-resistant Suparcase ferrule technology - and three further fitting innovations to allow users to make tubing connections faster, smarter, cleaner and safer.

The company's latest innovation, Phastite, delivers friendly compression-style assembly to high-pressure connections of up to 20,000 PSI - providing a cost-saving alternative to welded and cone-and-thread connections.
