About Hastelloy B3 Instrumentation Fittings
Hastelloy B3 instrumentation fittings are precision-engineered speciality parts made of nickel-chromium and molybdenum alloys. This combination makes the material oxidation-resistant, heat treatable, extraordinarily durable and corrosive while remaining malleable and suitable for even the most intricate shapes. Hastelloy B3 instrumentation fittings provide unmatched strength in extremely high and low temperatures. The power of these fittings is retained even under highly acidic conditions or chloride stress corrosion cracking environments, making them perfect for use in chemical processing equipment or any instruments exposed to severe environmental factors
Outstanding Corrosion ResistanceEngineered from premium Hastelloy B3 alloy, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to hydrochloric acid across all concentrations and temperatures. Their superior corrosion resistance and impurity content of less than 1% make them ideal for critical environments, greatly reducing maintenance needs and prolonging system life.
Robust Construction & Easy AssemblyEach fitting features a bright, smooth finish with passivation that enhances surface integrity and durability. The double ferrule system ensures leak-proof connections, while the threaded and compression ferrule designs facilitate effortless assembly and disassembly, saving time during maintenance or component replacement.
Versatile Configurations & Certified QualityAvailable in various shapes such as tee, elbow, straight, reducer, and union, these fittings cater to a wide spectrum of assembly requirements. End connections include Male/Female NPT, BSPP, and BSPT. With ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing processes, every fitting delivers consistent, reliable performance.
