Lubrication oil circuit sealing issue
Thread Content
Previously, the lubrication oil circuit of the compressor unit was sealed using ferrule straight-through connectors, and the sealing surfaces were prone to leakage. Now I would like to ask whether it is possible to replace them with union joints equipped with gaskets (pressure gauge connectors).
Use a card sleeve connector from a better-quality manufacturer
A better type of cartridge connector, with end-face sealing.
We use reputable brands with a hydraulic pressure of 15 MPa; there are no issues with the ferrules, for example, Swagelok
It’s fine at low pressure, but at high pressure and with a small pipe diameter, it’s not recommended to use slip joints.
