1 Introduction

The METTLER TOLEDO glass pressure reactors

• MP06,MP10andMP10-1.2-RTCare operated with the RC� Reaction Calorimeter. They aremanufacturedforamaximumallowablepressureof6or 12barrespectively, and en-ableheatflowmeasurementstobecarriedoutonchemicalreactionsunderpressure.

• LM06and LM10areoperatedwiththeLabMax®.Theyaremanufacturedforamaximumallowable pressure of 6or 12barrespectively, and enable chemical reactions to be carried out under pressure.

The nominal volume of all reactors is �.2 liter, their effective working volume 0.4 to �.0 liter.

1.1 Pressureconvention

The Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC of the European Union and the Pressure vessel code ASME in the USA refer to pressureas pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, i.e. gauge pressure, measured in bar or psig. The indication and measurement of pressure when operating a glass pressure reactor should conform with the directive or code.

1.2 Disclaimer

We, Mettler-Toledo AG, give no assurances or guarantees with respect to the design, work-manship or functioning of any equipment or inserts for the glass pressure reactors that have been manufactured by others and not supplied by ourselves.

1.3 OperatingInstructions

BasicinformationforoperatingtheRC1orLabMaxisgivenintheironlinehelpoftherespec-tive WinRC program. The descriptions given here are therefore limited to the glass pressure reactors and the additional informationmadenecessary by the extension of the systemconcerned.

Notes

�. You can only operate the MP�0-�.2-RTC reactor with the RC�e and the iControl software license "RTCal Option".

2. The safety measures and technical data of the MP�0 hold true for the MP10-1.2-RTC, too. Only the differences in design and installation are therefore given in these instruc-tions.

The safetymeasures, technicaldata,andequipmentof the requiredRTCalboxaregiven in the "RC�e with RTCal Option" instructions that is delivered with the software license.

Safety measures


2 Safetymeasures

The safety measures in the online help of the respective WinRC program for the RC� system andLabMaxalsoapplywhenoperatingtheseinstrumentstogetherwithglasspressurereac-tors, but additional instructions and precautions are necessary for the latter.

The MP06/MP�0 and LM06/LM�0 pressure reactors do not fall within the conformity assess-ment procedure of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EG. The reactors have been developed, manufactured and tested with due diligence according to the current engineering practice following the German pressure vessel code AD 2000, therefore ensuring safe oper-ation if the prescribed temperature and pressure limits are adhered to.

As user, you bear the primary responsibility for operational safety and should therefore comply with the following conditions:

– Install and operate the reactor in a suitable safety enclosure and take all due safety pre-cautions in accordance with the safety regulations applicable in your country and/or the internal safety rules of your company.

–Onlyusethepressurereactorinexperimentsforwhichithasbeendesignedandmanu-factured,i.e.,withregardtomaximumpressure,corrosionresistance,volumetriccapacityand the facilities incorporated in the apparatus!

–AllpersonswhoaretoworkwiththeRC1system/pressurereactororLabMax/pressurereactor must be specially trained.

–Beforeeveryexperiment,checkthepressuresystemforgoodworkingorderandcarryouta leak test using an inert gas (N

2). See Chapter 4.�.

– Do not install any valves in the "reactor–pressure gauge", "reactor–rupture disk" and "rup-ture disk–pressure vent" sections of pressurized tubing! These lines must remain open.

–Afteranexperimentdonotopenthereactoruntiltheinternalpressureisequaltoambientpressure!

2.1 Locationoftheglasspressurereactor

A damaged glass reactor can fracture if it is subjected to too high a tension (flangestightenedtoomuch)orifcracksorscratchesweakenitasapres-surevessel.Ifthemaximumtensilestressoftheglassisexceededduetopressure, the pressure vessel can fracture in a very short time.

Comprehensive tests carried out by the Swiss Association for Technical Inspections (SVTI)�) resulted in the following conclusions on the fracture mechanism of a glass reactor:

�) Reference documents No. �23 (March �987) and No. ��79�5 (February 2000)

Riskofexplosion

Safety measures


- When the glass fractures, the gas over the solvent can immediately escape, reducingthepressuretoambientandcausingexplosion-likeflashevapo-ration of the superheated solvent. The pressure wave from the evaporating solventisgeneratedinonly40microseconds,andtheflashevaporationtakesonly1millisecond.Thisrapidevaporationprocessisduetotheex-ponential growth of the bubbles formed in the superheated solvent.

The following critical conditions arise due to the rapid dissipation of the energy stored in the glass reactor:

- Fracture of the inner glass vessel: the reactor pressure increases the pres-sure of the heat transfer oil between the inner and outer glass shells.

Atareactorpressureuptoamaximumof6bartheouterglassreactorwillnormally not fracture. With MP reactors the pressure is released slowly through the oil circuit and the oil tank (the pump shaft seal opens), with LM reactors through the oil connections. In this case the reactor failure is relatively harmless.

- At a reactor pressure of �2 bar the pressure of the oil between the two glassshellsishighenoughtocausethemaximumtensilestressoftheouterglassshelltobeexceeded,sothatitalsofractures.Reactorpressuredropsimmediatelytoambient,sothatexplosion-likeflashevaporationofthe superheated solvent takes place (as described above). The greater the totalevaporationenergystored,themoredestructivewillbetheexplosioncausedbyflashevaporation.

For this reason the following regulations have been set out for operating glass pressure reactors in the laboratory and autoclave room.

Laboratoryfumehood

• Youshallonlycarryoutwell-knownandsafechemicalreactions!(Noex-perimentswithadiabatictemperaturecontrolandnoexperimentswherethere is a risk of runaway reactions!) Failure of the power supply or cooling system must not result in dangerous situations!

• Themaximumallowableoperatingpressureshallnotexceed5bar!

• Themaximumallowableworkingpressureandthenominalburstpressureof the installed rupture disk shall not be higher than 6 bar!

• You must install a pressure sensor to monitor the safety limits and to trig-gerthespecifiedemergencyprograms!

• The temperature Tr of the reactor contents shall not be more than 40 °C over the normal boiling point of the reactor contents concerned at ambient pressure(waterforexampleboilsundernormalambientpressureatabout100°C,soTrinthiscaseisrestrictedtoamaximumof140°C).

Riskofexplosion

Safety measures


• The reactor must be equipped with its safety enclosure for protection againstflyingfragmentsandsprayingliquids(withitspolycarbonatepaneas originally supplied) and must be operated in a fume hood with the safety sash (polycarbonate or another suitable material) closed.

– Place the "Glass pressure reactor" safety rules at a suitable location near totheRC1orLabMaxsothatthecheckoutpointsandsafetyrulescanbereferred to at all times.

If you cannot comply with these conditions, you must operate the system with the reactor in an autoclave room!

Autoclaveroom

• While the reactor is under pressure, no persons shall be present in the autoclave room!Anexception is theperformanceof the leak test (seeChapter 4).

• ThemaximumallowableoperatingpressureoftheMP10/LM10shallnotexceed10bar,thatoftheMP06/LM065bar!

• Themaximumallowableworking pressure of theMP10/LM10 and therated burst pressure of the installed rupture disk shall not be higher than �2 bar!

• ThemaximumallowablepressureoftheMP06/LM06andtheratedburstpressure of the installed rupture disk shall not be higher than 6 bar!

• The safety enclosure for splinter and splash protection (with metal framed polycarbonate window) must also be installed when operating the reactors in the autoclave room!

• During the experiment the autoclave room must be well ventilated! Typicalairflowrate:20L/s.

2.4 Locationofthepressurecontroller

– If the pressure controller is located in a fume hood or in the autoclave room, install a manual valve outside this location but in parallel with the pressure controller. In the event of a fault in the computer or the pressure controller, you can use this valve to lower the reactor pressure to ambient level without needing to open the fume hood safety sash or enter the autoclave room.

2.5 Pressuresysteminstallation

– Ifatallpossible,donotchangetheexistingarrangementofthereactorcover with its tube connections to the pressure controller, gas supply and pressure venting line. This prevents possible problems.

– Do not close the outlet of the pressure controller with another valve, otherwise the pressure in the reactor cannot be reduced.

2.6 Pressuresensor

– Adjust the offset of the pressure sensor: • Determine the offset at ambient pressure - a must for pressure sensors

with a diaphragm.

2.7 Gassupply

– Maintain the gas supply pressure to the pressure controller at a level that issafefortheexperimentandforthegastubing!

–Preventareturnflowofgasintothegassupplysystemincasethereactorpressure is higher than the gas supply pressure or the check valve in the supply tubing fails.

�. Set the pressure of the gas supply/gas cylinder higher than the rated burst pressure of the rupture disk, but set the supply pressure of the pressure controller lower than the rated burst pressure.

Set the supply pressure to the pressure controller using a reducing valve which only supplies gas to the reactor and under no circumstances to other users! If the supply pressure of the pressure controller is kept higher than the rated burst pressure of the rupture disk and the pressure controller fails, the rupture disk will burst.

2. Install a check valve in the gas supply tubing: If the supply pressure of the gas header/gas cylinder is lower than the rated burst pressure of the rupture disk and the reactor pressure increases due to a reaction, the reactor gas can contaminate the gas header/gas cylinder; this could be harzadous under certain circumstances.

– With dangerous gases, e.g., H2,installaflowlimiter(orificepiece)inthegas tubing after the pressure-reducing valve. If there is a fracture in the tubing, rupture disk or reactor, the gas will be vented in a controlled man-ner.

Safety measures

METTLER TOLEDO Glass pressure reactors ��

2.8 Gasventing

– Use suitable tubing to lead the gases or vapors escaping into the fume hood or autoclave room from the reactor, through the manual valves, pressure controller or rupture unit, to a location where they can be disposed of or treated in accordance with the relevant regulations (ventilation, adsorption or scrubber system, etc.).

– Install a separator between the reactor and the pressure controller if the off-gases from the reaction are corrosive or contain volatile solvents, droplets or foam. This prevents them entering the pressure controller. Depending on requirements, this separator can be an adsorption vessel, a condenser or a demister.

– For vacuum operation install a separation vessel between the vacuum system and the pressure controller connection. This prevents service liquids such as water or oil being drawn into the reactor by the vacuum. A manual bleed valve should also be installed, in order to break the vacuum when necessary.

–Donotforgetthatgas/liquidmixtures(foam)cangreatlyreducetheflowrate when venting gas.

– Do not reduce the reactor pressure too quickly by changing the setpoint or opening the manual valve if the substances in the reactor are superheated. Thiscanresultinthereactorcontentsflashingorfoamingover("delayedboiling").

2.9 Coverheatingsystem(MP06/MP10only)

– Select appropriate safety limits for the cover temperature in view of the chemical reaction taking place! Cover temperatures that are higher than theignitiontemperatureofthereactorcontentscanresultinexplosions.

2.10 Trsensor(LM06/LM10only)

– During the pressure test verify that the Tr sensor is in good working order and measuring correctly! (See Chapter 4.�.) No additional safety sensor is incorporated in this sensor which would detect any temperature differ-ences.

2.11 Supportring

You can connect an externalthermostat to maintain the cover at a set temperature. A temperature sensor can be screwed into the �/4" NPT tapped hole, in order to measure and control the cover temperature.

A constant cover temperature above the dew point of the solvent reduces condensation on the cover, thus considerably diminishing calorimetric noise and heat losses.

3.4 Rupturedisks

6-bar rupture unit

Rupture disks are specially manufactured and tested to very close burst pressure tolerances. Their burst pressure is based on the nominal value stated on the attached tag together with the reference temperature. The ef-fective burst pressure at the reference temperature is within a tolerance of ±�0% of the nominal value. Burst pressure is temperature-dependent, the rupture disk bursting at lower pressures when the temperature is above its reference value.

Principleoftherupturedisk

Domed rupturedisk

Rupture disk cutting edge

The rupture disk itself has a prebulged dome. When the process pressureexceedsthenominalburstpressure,therupturediskis forced back against the cutting edge, which ruptures it and releases the system pressure. The �2-bar rupture disk can be replaced (see Chapter 5.4.�).

In the latter case, you need to screw the pressure sensor to the vent valve (see Chapter 5.3).

NoteTheflatsealoftheanaloggauge,thatyoucanreplace,guar-antees system integrity (see Chapter 6.2 or 6.4).

The vent valve allow you to release the reactor pressure manually.

3.6 Stirrermagneticcoupling

Gasconnection

The stirrer magnetic coupling with its permanent magnets is a reliable, hermetically sealed unit which allows operation under pressure or vacuum. It is a highly corrosion-resistant unit that does awaywith amechanical seal or stuffing box.The �/

connectioncanbeconnectedtoasupplyofnitrogenforflushingthe coupling.The reactor is supplied with a bmd �50 magnetic coupling (�.5 Nm) as standard; alternatively a bmd 300 magnetic coupling (3.0Nm)canbefittedifdesired.

NoteTomakefulluseofthemaximumtorquethatcanbetransmittedby the bmd 300 magnetic coupling it is necessary to use a stirrer motorwithareductiongearbox.



The stirrer shaft, which is rigidly attached to the driven (internal) magnet, rotates in PTFE/graphite friction bearings. A hermetically sealed rotor housing encloses the driven magnet itself. Both shaft and rotor are located within the coupling bearing housing, between the metal coverofthereactorandthehousingofthedriving(external)magnet.Theballbearingfortheexternalmagnetislocatedoutsidethemagnethousing.Thisoptimizedconfigurationmeansthattheinternalmagnetrotatessynchronouslywiththeexternalmagnetwhenthecouplingis driven by the stirrer motor (see Chapter 5.7).

3.7 Safetyenclosure

Enclosure for MP06/MP�0

The safety enclosure is designed for protection againstflyingfragmentsandsprayedproductif the reactor is used under a laboratory fume hood. It offers protection in the unlikely event that both glass vessels fracture. In this case thesafetyenclosurewillcontaintheflashingcontents of the reactor and channel the vapor (gas) together with fragments and liquid away from the user through the openings.

The enclosure is made from stainless steel with a 9-mm thick polycarbonate window. It has been tested under severe conditions in order to ensure protection for the user working in a laboratory.

Enclosure for LM06/LM�0

3.8 Pressuretransducer(optionforRD10connection)

A water-cooled �0 bar pressure transducer, which covers the pressure range of the MP�0 and MP06, is available as an option. It can be connected directly to the RD�0 for data ac-quisition.We recommend, however, to connect pressure controllers for both the RC� system and the LabMax(seenextsection).

Functional tests

Carryoutapressuretestbeforeeveryexperimentandverifythatthepressurecontrollerisin good working order!

LM06/LM10only: During the pressure test (step 5) check the value measured by the Tr sen-sor when the temperature is stable (see step 8 overleaf).

Thefunctionaltestofthepressurecontrollerandreactorsystemwithallitsvalvesandfittingscomprises the following steps (see also diagram below):

�. Verify that the ambient pressure indicated by the pressure gauge on the pressure sensor is the same as the measured value from the sensor displayed on the PC. The reactor and the gas supply line to the pressure controller must both be open to the atmosphere.

2. Use an inert gas, e.g. N2, to check whether the pressure can be ramped to the end value of 5 bar without any problems.

3. Check whether the pressures indicated by the pressure gauge are the same as the mea-sured values from the pressure sensor.

4. Check whether the manual valve in the pressure control loop is in good working order: whenthefinalpressurehasbeenreached,openthevalvetolowerthereactorpressure,then close it, so that the pressure rises to its setpoint again.

5. Leak test: – At a stable pressure of 5 bar and a stable temperature Tr, turn off the pressure con-

5.7 Maintenanceofthemagneticcoupling

The magnetic coupling is mounted on the reactor cover and comprises a bearing housing, the upper part of the coupling, the internal magnet rotor and the stirrer shaft. A pressure screw at the side makes it possible to connect a supply of inert gas (�/�6" NPT thread).

Beforeconnectingthemagneticcouplingtotheoutputshaftofthestirrermotorforthefirsttime, you should lubricate its friction bearings.

5.7.1 Lubricatingfrictionbearings

– Insert the rod (with the bmd 300 use the 36-mm AF open-end wrench) in an opening in the bearing housing to hold it, and engage the hook wrench in one of the openings in the magnetic coupling upper section to unscrew this.

– When pulling off the upper section hold the stirrer shaftanduseenoughforcetopulltheexternalmagnetaway from the internal one.

– Push the stirrer shaft upward a little and add a few dropsofglycerol,liquidparaffinorsiliconeoiltotheupperfrictionbearing;theexcesslubricantrunsdownthe stirrer shaft to the lower friction bearing.

5.7.2 ChangingorreplacingfrictionbearingsandO-rings

When working in the closed system under pressure and at elevated temperatures, the friction bearings are usually kept moist by condensate. This ensures that the stirrer shaft runs silently. If it does not run smoothly or starts to become noisy, you must replace the friction bearings. When doing this you should also inspect the O-rings of the bearings for wear, and replace them if necessary. When running completely dry or at high speeds the stirrer shaft can start to vibrate. In this case apply a drop of glycerine, silicone oil or even water (see Chapter 5.7.�) to the stirrer shaft at the bearings before screwing the coupling together.

– Open the chuck on the stirrer motor, push the coupling shaft upward and hold it in place. (Remove the Neoprene coupling.)

– Unplug the cables of the standard inserts at the thermostat housing.

– Slacken the eight nuts on the reactor cover and remove them together with the washers.

– Carefully raise the cover with the inserts and place it on the bench so that the inserts can-not be bent.

–Unscrewthestirrerfromthestirrershaft,usinganopen-endwrenchontheflatsofthestirrer shaft to hold it.

– Unscrew the magnetic coupling from the cover by inserting the rod supplied with it in an opening of the bearing housing, holding the reactor cover and turning the rod counter-clockwise. (With the bmd 300 use the 36-mm AF open-end wrench.)

3. Tighten nut by hand. Rotate nut to the original posi-tion with a wrench. An increase in resistance will be encoutered at the original position. Then tighten slightly with the wrench. Smaller tube sizes will take less tightening to reach the original position, while larger tube sizes will require more tightening. The wall thickness will also have an effect on tightening.

METRICTUBING

DATASWAGELOK® Tube Fittings have attained anunmatched reputation for quality since theirintroduction in 1947. The consistency of qual-ity of these precision-matched componentshas allowed their use on some of the most difficult services imaginable.

Tubing is critical to the performance of atubing system. We feel it is our duty to impresson our customers the importance of carefulselection of high quality tubing in order toinstall safe, leak-free systems.

Proper selection, handling, and installationof tubing, when combined with proper selection of SWAGELOK Tube Fittings, areessential to reliable tubing systems!

GAS SERVICEGases (air, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, etc.) have very smallmolecules which can escape through even the most minuteleak path. Some surface defects on the tubing can providesuch a leak path. As tube O.D. increases, so does the likeli-hood of a scratch or other surface defects interfering withproper sealing.

The most successful connection for gas service will occur if allinstallation instructions are carefully followed and the heavierwall thickness of tubing on Tables 1 and 2 are selected.

A heavy wall tube resists ferruleaction more than a thin wall tube,allowing the ferrules to overcomeminor surface imperfections. A thinwall tube may collapse, thus offer-ing little resistance to ferrule actionduring pull-up.

For the greatest safety factoragainst tube surface defects in gassystems, use a wall thickness noless than those shown.

TUBINGINSTALLATION

When installing fittings near tube bends, there must be a suffi-cient straight length of tubing to allow the tube to be bottomedin the SWAGELOK Tube Fitting. See chart below.

SWAGELOK HYDRAULIC SWAGING UNITWhen installing 28, 32 or 38mm carbon steel or stainlesssteel SWAGELOK Tube Fittings, use a SWAGELOK HydraulicSwaging Unit (Example: Ordering Number MS-HSU-32M0).Ask your Authorized SWAGELOK Sales and ServiceRepresentative for a demonstration.

TUBING SELECTIONThe following variables should be considered when orderingtubing for use with SWAGELOK Tube Fittings:

1. Tubing Material2. Tubing Wall Thickness3. Tubing Surface Finish4. Tubing Hardness

Many A.S.T.M. specifications cover the above requirements,but they often are not very detailed on surface finish. Forexample, ASTM A269, a general tubing specification, reads:"11. Straightness and Finish11.1 Finished tubes shall be reasonably straight andhave smooth ends free of burrs. They shall have a work-manlike finish. Surface imperfections (Note) may beremoved by grinding, provided that a smooth curved sur-face is maintained, and the wall thickness is notdecreased to less than that permitted by this or theproduct specification. The outside diameter at the pointof grinding may be reduced by the amount so removed.Note – An imperfection is any discontinuity or irregu-larity found in the tube."

Our suggested ordering instructions for carbon steel andstainless steel tubing are shown under their respective tables.

TUBING HARDNESSThe key to proper tubing hardness for use with SWAGELOKTube Fittings is that the tubing must be softer than the fittingmaterial. When ordering stainless steel tubing, we suggestthat you specify a hardness of Vickers 180➀ maximum, when-ever possible. The Vickers 180 hardness is a suggestion, not arestriction against the use of SWAGELOK stainless steel tubefittings which may be used on stainless steel tubing having ahardness of Vickers 200. However, tubing with Vickers 180maximum lowers installed cost because it is more easily bentand installed. Because higher torques are required on hardertubing, installers should be particularly careful not to stopbefore full pull-up of 1-1/4 turns past finger-tight. Sufficientpull-up should be checked with a SWAGELOK Gap InspectionGage.

TUBING HANDLINGGood handling practices can greatly reduce scratches on tub-ing and protect the good surface finish which reliable tubemanufacturers supply.

• Tubing should never be dragged across cement, asphalt, gravel or any other rough surface.

• Tubing should never be dragged out of a tubing rack.• Tube cutters or hacksaws should always be sharp. Try not

to take deep cuts with each turn of the cutter or stroke of the saw.

• Tube ends should always be deburred. This helps to assure that the tubing will go all the way through the ferrules without damaging the ferrule sealing edge.

TUBING WALL THICKNESSTables 1 and 2 show working pressure ratings of tubing in awide range of wall thicknesses. Allowable pressure ratings forstainless steel are calculated from Stress (S) values as specified by ANSI B31.3 Code for Chemical Plant andPetroleum Refinery Piping or DIN 2391.

SWAGELOK Tube Fittings are not normally recommended fortube wall thicknesses outside the ranges shown in Tables 1and 2 for each size. If you plan to use tubing with a lighter orheavier wall than those shown, please have your AuthorizedSWAGELOK Sales & Service Representative send a sampleto the factory for testing.

Catalog MS-01-82

SWAGELOK® Tube Fittings have attained anunmatched reputation since their introductionin 1947. The consistency of quality of theseprecision-matched components has allowedtheir use on some of the most difficult servicesimaginable.

The two ferrule design of the SWAGELOKTube Fitting allows compensation for many ofthe variables found in the field…variablessuch as installation procedures, tubing toler-ances, wall thickness and quality.

The SWAGELOK Tube Fitting consists ofFour Precision Components – Nut, BackFerrule, Front Ferrule, and Body. In fact, how-ever, when installed it becomes a five-piececonnection with the addition of the tubing.

Proper selection, handling, and installationof tubing, when combined with proper selec-tion of the SWAGELOK Tube Fitting for thejob at hand, are essential to reliable tubingsystems!

TUBING SELECTIONThe following variables should be considered when order-ing tubing for use with SWAGELOK Tube Fittings:

1. Tubing material2. Tubing wall thickness3. Tubing surface finish4. Tubing hardness

Many ASTM specifications cover the above requirements,but they are often not very detailed on surface finish. Forexample, ASTM A450, a general tubing specificationreads:

“11. Straightness and Finish11.1 Finished tubes shall be reasonably straight

and have smooth ends free of burrs.They shall have aworkmanlike finish. Surface imperfections (Note 1)may be removed by grinding, provided that a smoothcurved surface is maintained, and the wall thickness isnot decreased to less than that permitted by this or theproduct specification. The outside diameter at thepoint of grinding may be reduced by the amount soremoved.

Note – An imperfection is any discontinuity or irreg-ularity found in the tube.”Our suggested ordering instructions are shown under eachcategory of copper, aluminum, steel, stainless steel andalloy 400. Such requirements may be specified underSection 4.1.9 of ASTM A269 or Section 4.1.10 of ASTMA213 or other applicable ASTM specifications.Tubing HardnessThe key to proper tubing hardness for use withSWAGELOK Tube Fittings is that the tubing must be soft-er than the fitting material. By using the suggested order-ing instructions under Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, you will pur-chase tubing which should work properly with SWAGELOKfittings.Most misunderstandings about tubing hardness are in thearea of stainless steel tubing. SWAGELOK stainless steeltube fittings have been repeatedly tested successfully withtubing with hardness up to Rb 90, the maximum hardness

allowable under ASTM A213 and A269. Although such tub-ing hardness is permissible and SWAGELOK Tube Fittingswill perform satisfactorily on such tubing, we suggest that,whenever possible, you specify Rb 80 maximum whenordering tubing. Such tubing lowers installed cost becauseit is more easily bent and installed. Tubing installers shouldbe particularly careful when installing harder tubing, to besure that the full suggested 1 1/4 turns of pull-up are usedand connections are checked with Gap Inspection Gage.Because higher torques are required on harder tubing,there may be a tendency to stop before full pull-up isreached. The Rb 80 hardness is a suggestion, not arestriction against the use of SWAGELOK stainless steeltube fittings which may be used on stainless steel tubinghaving hardness of Rb 90.TUBING HANDLINGAs pointed out below, scratches on tube OD are a poten-tial source of problems in leak-tight tubing systems. Goodhandling practices can greatly reduce scratches and pro-tect the good surface finish which reliable tube manufac-turers try to supply.Tubing should never be dragged out of a tubing rack.Particularly in sizes 3/4� and larger, the weight of the lengthbeing pulled out is sufficient to gouge the OD if any burrsare on the end of the tubes below it in the rack.Tubing should never be dragged across cement, asphalt,gravel, or any other surface which could scratch it.Tube cutters or hacksaws should always be sharp, andyou should not try to take too deep a cut with each turn ofthe cutter or with each back and forth motion of the sawblade.Tube ends should always be deburred. This allows moreeasy entrance of the tube into the fitting bore and helps toassure the installer that the tubing will go all the waythrough the ferrules without damage to the ferrule sealingedge.

TUBING WALL THICKNESSOn Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are shown working pressure ratings oftubing in a wide range of wall thicknesses. Allowable pressure rat-ings are calculated from S values as specified by ANSI CodeB31.3.SWAGELOK Tube Fittings have been repeatedly tested to theburst of the tubing in both the minimum and maximum wall thick-nesses shown.SWAGELOK Tube Fittings are not normally recommended fortube wall thicknesses outside the ranges shown in Tables 1through 5 for each size. If you plan to use tubing with lighter orheavier wall than those shown, please have your AuthorizedSWAGELOK Sales and Service Representative send a sample tothe factory for testing.

GAS SERVICEGasses (air, hydrogen, helium & nitrogen, etc.) have very smallmolecules which can escape through even the most minute leak-path. Some surface defects on the tubing can provide such aleak-path. As tube OD increases, so does the likelihood of ascratch or other surface defects interfering with proper sealing.The most successful connection for gas service will occur if allinstallation instructions are carefully followed and the heavier wallthicknesses of tubing on Tables 1 through 5 are selected.A heavy wall tube resists ferrule action more than a thin wall tube,allowing the ferrules to coin out minor surface imperfections. Athin wall tube will collapse, thus offering little resistance to ferruleaction during pull-up. This reduces the chance of coining out sur-face defects, such as scratches.For the greatest safety factor against surface defects in any gassystem, use a wall thickness no less than the following:

Tubing properly selected and handled, when combined with thequality of SWAGELOK fittings, will give you leak-free systems.Properly installed on such tubing, SWAGELOK fittings will givereliable service under a wide variety of fluid applications.When installing fittings near tube bends, there must be a sufficientstraight length of tubing to allow the tube to be bottomed in theSWAGELOK fitting:

For maximum assurance of reliable performance useSWAGELOK Tube Fittings assembled in accordance with cata-log instructions, and use properly selected and handled highquality tubing.When installing steel or stainless steel SWAGELOK Tube Fittingsover 1�, we suggest the use of a SWAGELOK Hydraulic SwagingUnit. This unit increases reliability and reduces greatly the workinvolved in making up 1 1/4�, 1 1/2� and 2� SWAGELOK TubeFittings. Ask your local Authorized SWAGELOK Sales andService Representative for a demonstration.

Various tubing specifications within thecode have varying wall thickness tolerances.All charts and tables are for reference only and are based oninformation contained in the 1990 edition of the code. No impli-cation is made that these figures can be used for design work.

Applicable codes and practices in industry should be considered.Crawford Fitting Company is not responsible for the accuracy ofinformation presented in these tables.ANSI Codes are the successor to and replacement of ASA PipingCodes.

S.I. UNITSUnder the International Organization of Standardization (ISO),the kilopascal (kPa) has been adopted as the standard pressuremeasurement.To convert psi as shown in tables 1 thru 5 to kPa, multiply psi x 6.89. For example, 2775 psi equals 19120 kPa (2775 x 6.89).

To convert psi to bar, divide by 14.51. Thus 2775 psi equals191.2 bar.To convert kPa to bar, multiply by .01.1 bar = 14.51 psi = 100 kPa1 psi = .069 bar = 6.89 kPa1 kPa = .01 bar = .1451 psi

SPECIAL ALLOY TUBINGWhen selecting special alloy tubing, wesuggest the following to be included onpurchase specifications: Fully annealedseamless (or welded and drawn, wherepermitted) alloy tubing to the ASTMspecification shown. Tubing to be freeof scratches, suitable for bending andflaring. A limited amount of test data is available on SWAGELOK Tube

Fittings used on special alloy tubing because of restricted avail-ability of the tubing. Since most applications involving specialalloy tubing are severe, we recommend that a sample of the tub-ing be sent to the factory for evaluation before installation. Pleaseinclude all pertinent information relating to system parameters.Give tubing sample to your local Authorized SWAGELOK Salesand Service Representative to forward to the factory.
