Do ferrule connectors require maintenance? What are the maintenance items?
No maintenance is required; it is possible to check for any leaks. If the medium is gas, some dishwashing liquid can be sprayed to ensure airtightness.
Not necessary; more attention is required when vibration is present
All the answers above are correct; generally, there is no need to tighten things regularly. During inspections, just check and listen – if there is any leakage, tighten it accordingly. None of these are big issues……
Generally, no tightening is required; if there is air leakage, it can be tightened slightly
For processes that require high standards, markings can be used to prevent loosening, and regular airtightness tests are necessary. The sealing performance of a ferrule coupling depends on factors such as whether the selected measurement pressure rating is appropriate, the quality of the ferrule, the compatibility or corrosiveness between the material and the medium, as well as the quality of installation and the correctness of the assembly method – all of these determine the service life of the ferrule coupling.
