About Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Instrumentation Fittings
Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Instrumentation Fittings comprise a unique blend of metals that ensure they can be utilized in various industries. This alloy is formed primarily of chromium (22-23%), nickel (4.5-6.5%), molybdenum (2.5-3.5%) and manganese (1.0-2.0%), alongside minor amounts of silicon, nitrogen and iron giving the alloy 201 an outstanding balance between mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This composition makes them ideal for fittings used in the oil and gas industry and very popular in desalination systems. Also, their mechanical characteristics remain constant at temperatures over 800F, allowing them to retain their form during extreme conditions, making this alloy an invaluable tool for instrumentation fittings applications worldwide
High-Pressure Performance and Leak-Proof DesignDuplex Steel UNS S32205 fittings are engineered to deliver robust performance at pressures up to 6000 psi and above, depending on design requirements. Their single or double ferrule systems ensure a secure, leak-proof connection, even in demanding operational environments. This makes them highly reliable for applications where system integrity is vital, such as chemical and petrochemical industries, ensuring operational safety and efficiency.
Versatile Connection and Customization OptionsAvailable in threaded, compression, and welded connections, these fittings cater to diverse needs, including custom and standard sizes. The fittings support multiple thread standards (NPT, BSP, UNF) and flare angles, and can be provided in various forms-male, female, union, elbow, tee, reducer, and more-to match piping layouts and customer requirements, ensuring maximum flexibility in instrumentation system design.
Certified Quality and Exceptional DurabilityManufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, Duplex Steel UNS S32205 fittings feature excellent tensile strength (min 620 MPa), low magnetic permeability, and maximum hardness of 290 HBW. Their superior corrosion resistance, even against pitting and crevice corrosion, ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective choice for severe environments.
