Gaugeable Alloy 2507 Super Duplex Tube Fittings

SWAGELOK® alloy 2507 tube fittings utilize the same advanced geometry back ferrule design and patented ferrule hardening process as other SWAGELOK® tube fittings, providing excellent vibration resistance and leak-tight gas seal.

Alloy 2507 fittings are NORSOK M-630 and M-650 compliant as standard and are available in sizes from 1/4 to 3/4 in. Optional compliance to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 is available for sour gas applications. All 2507 tube fitting components are manufactured from controlled chemistry material with a minimum pitting resistance equivalent (PRE) value of 42.5. Alloy 2507 fitting components are Positive Material Identification (PMI) tested with test reports available. Each SWAGELOK® Alloy 2507 tube fitting component is stamped with its material type.

Pressure Ratings

Pressure ratings for a fluid system are determined by the end connection or system component with the lowest pressure rating. Ratings for the end connections listed in this catalog are discussed below.

SWAGELOK® tube fittings listed in this catalog are rated to the pressure rating of the tubing (see table in Gaugeable Alloy 2507 Super Duplex Tube Fittings pdf). Pressure ratings are calculated from S values (38 700 psi [266 MPa]), in accordance with ASME B31.3, Process Piping. Tubing pressure ratings are for metal temperatures from –20 to 100°F (–28 to 37°C). Alloy 2507 tubing, fully annealed, meets ASTM A789 or equivalent. Hardness value is HRC 32 or less. For lower temperature use, see Low-Temperature Ratings, page 3. For gas service, use tube wall thicknesses outside the shaded area.

Pressure Regulators

SWAGELOK® offers pressure regulators in a variety of models, including Pressure reducing models, back-pressure models, a gas cylinder changeover model and Vaporizing models.

Regulators reduce the pressure of a gas or liquid from a source, such as a cylinder or compressor, to a lower value needed by a device, such as an analyzer. A pressure regulator provides better resolution and control when its inlet and control range pressures closely match the pressure requirements of the fluid handling system. Resolution is the number of handle turns needed to adjust a regulator from its lowest to highest outlet pressure setting. Control is the ability of the regulator to hold a given outlet pressure set point.

Technical Data, Materials of Construction, Pressure-Reducing Regulator Flow Data and Port Configurations can be found in the “SWAGELOK® Pressure Regulators” Brochure PDF  available in the Resource links.

Pressure Reducing
Two-Stage Diaphragm-Sensing, Pressure-Reducing Regulators (KCY Series)

The KCY series is designed for use in applications requiring constant outlet pressure even with wide variations in inlet pressure. This two-stage regulator is comparable to two single-stage regulators connected in series.

The first stage is factory set to reduce the inlet pressure to 500 psig (34.4 bar). The second stage can be adjusted with the handle to achieve the required outlet pressure. This two-stage arrangement minimizes the supply-pressure effect caused by fluctuating inlet pressure, such as with a depleting gas cylinder.

As inlet pressure drops below the setting of the first stage, the regulator then functions as a single-stage regulator. The first-stage pressure setting can be reduced while monitoring the pressure at the interstage port, but lower flow may result.

Features:

  • Convoluted, nonperforated diaphragm
  • Metal-to-metal diaphragm seal
  • Excellent set-point stability
  • Supply-pressure effect of approximately 0.01 %
  • High-flow, dual-gauze type filter positively retained in inlet port
