5 Best Practices for Stainless Steel Tubing 1. Never drag tubing off racks 3. Proper Tubing Support Use two people to handle longer tube lengths from racks whenever possible. Dragging longer tube lengths from racks by oneself may cause: ○ O.D. surface scratches causing potential leak points. ○ Dents on tubing bends. ○ Chips and burrs to be raised on the tubing. Protect tubing ends by using end caps. Keep the tubing I.D. free of dirt and contamination. Store tubes in original crates and protective packaging whenever possible. Proper tubing support will reduce vibration and increase the life of tubing, fittings, and equipment throughout a facility. 4. Proper Tubing Placement Proper tubing placement is essential when running line throughout a facility. 5. Determine number of tube fittings and length of tubing required in system design 2. Avoid Foot and Hand Rail Tube Location: Guard against tubing runs that may promote: Side load Safety Hazards Tubing damage • Provide for enough tubing to ensure bottoming into fitting bodies (length “L”). • Allow for accessibility in your system design to prevent damage during assembly and maintenance. • Follow best practice of marking tubes just above nut when pre-swaging any tube connections to ensure tubes are bottomed during final installation *Do not lay out tubing in such a way Contact us Email: [email protected] Phone: 262.790.6100 © 2014 Chicago Fluid System Technologies, Swagelok Company
