Almost every style of fitting offered by Haoqintech.com is available in 304 and 316. Why choose one over the other?
304 is the most common stainless steel alloy, used for its appearance, durability and resistance to corrosion. However, its corrosion resistance in acidic and saline environments is inferior to 316. It is the less expensive of the two alloys, and may be the best choice under ideal environmental conditions.

316 stainless has the same chemical composition as 304, but with the introduction of Molybdenum for greater strength and hardness, giving it superior resistance to corrosion from chlorides. This usually translates to longer life in the process line.

We offer customization services, but the minimum order quantity is 5,000 pcs.

All tubing, valve and fitting sizes are determined by the Outside Diameter (OD) of the tube. In order to properly determine the size you require, do one of the following.

  • Measure the OD of the flange end. You can do this using the same process as above.
  • Measure the OD of the tube end of your existing tube or fitting. If possible, you can place the tube end on a piece of paper and trace around the edge, then measure from one side to the other. Or, simply place a ruler over the tube end itself, and measure from one outer edge to the other.

Tri-Clamp is by far the most commonly used fitting type in today’s food and beverage industries, making up over 65% of fittings sold in the United States. However, there are alternatives that may be right for you. Haoqintech.com offers the following alternative styles.

  • Bevel Seat – This fitting style uses a nut and gasket to complete a connection.
  • Butt Weld – These fittings are permanently welded in place, and require a qualified welder for proper installation.
  • I-Line – This fitting type is similar to Tri-Clamp, but uses a different flange face design. Interlocking design creates a safe compression connection that is resistant to vibration, temperature and pressure.
