Tubing Material
Our suggested ordering instructions for each type of tubing
are shown under the respective tables.
Tubing Outside Diameter Hardness
The key to selecting proper tubing for use with metal
Swagelok tube ttings is that the tubing must be
softer than the tting material. Swagelok tube fttings are
designed to work properly with the tubing that is suggested
in the ordering instructions.
Swagelok stainless steel tube fttings have been repeatedly
tested successfully with tubing with hardness up to 200 HV
and 90 HRB.
Tubing Wall Thickness
The accompanying tables show working pressure ratings of
tubing in a wide range of wall thicknesses. Except as noted,
allowable pressure ratings are calculated from S values as
specifed by ASME B31.3, Process Piping.
Swagelok tube fttings have been repeatedly tested in both
the minimum and maximum wall thicknesses shown.
Swagelok tube fttings are not recommended for tube wall
thicknesses outside the ranges shown in the accompanying
tables for each size.
Tubing Handling
Good handling practices can greatly reduce scratches on
tubing and protect the good surface fnish that reliable tube
manufacturers supply.
Tubing should never be dragged out of a tubing rack or
across a rough surface.
Tube cutters or hacksaws should be sharp. Do not take
deep cuts with each turn of the cutter or stroke of the saw.
Tube ends should be deburred. This helps to ensure that
the tubing will go all the way through the ferrules without
damaging the ferrule sealing edge.

Tubing Selection
Proper selection, handling, and installation of tubing, when
combined with proper selection of Swagelok

tube fttings,
are essential to reliable tubing systems.
The following variables should be considered when ordering
tubing for use with Swagelok tube fttings:
Surface fnish
Material
Hardness
Wall thickness.
Tubing Surface Finish
Many ASTM specifcations cover the above requirements,
but they often are not very detailed on surface fnish. For
example, ASTM A450, a general tubing specifcation, reads:
11. Straightness and Finish
11.1 Finished tubes shall be reasonably straight and have
smooth ends free of burrs. They shall have a workmanlike
fnish. Surface imperfections (Note) may be removed by
grinding, provided that a smooth curved surface is maintained,
and the wall thickness is not decreased to less than that
permitted by this or the product specifcation. The outside
diameter at the point of grinding may be reduced by the amount
so removed.
Note: An imperfection is any discontinuity or irregularity found in the tube.
2 Tubing Data
Gas Service
Gases (air, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, etc.) have very small
molecules that can escape through even the most minute
leak path. Some surface defects on the tubing can provide
such a leak path. As tube outside diameter (OD) increases,
so does the likelihood of a scratch or other surface defect
interfering with proper sealing.
The most successful connection for gas service will occur
if all installation instructions are carefully followed and the
heavier wall thicknesses of tubing on the accompanying
tables are selected.
Tubing properly selected and handled, when combined with
the quality of Swagelok fttings, will give you leak-tight systems.
Properly installed on such tubing, Swagelok fttings provide
reliable service under a wide variety of fuid applications.
When installing fttings near tube bends, there must be a
suffcient straight length of tubing to allow the tube to be
bottomed in the Swagelok ftting (see tables).
For maximum assurance of reliable performance, use
Swagelok tube fttings assembled in accordance with cata log
instructions, and use properly selected and handled high-
quality tubingsuch as provided by Swagelok.

Hydraulic Swaging Unit
When installing carbon steel or stainless steel Swagelok tube
fttings over 1 in. (25 mm), a Swagelok hydraulic swaging unit
must be used. This unit provides suffcient pre-swaging of the
ferrules onto the tubing for 1 1/4, 1 1/2 and 2 in. and 28, 30,
32, 38, and 50 mm Swagelok tube fttings. Ask your authorized
Swagelok sales and service representative for a demonstration.
Suggested Allowable Pressure Tables
Figure and tables are for reference only. No implication is made
that these values can be used for design work. Applicable codes
and practices in industry should be considered. ASME Codes
are the successor to and replacement of ASA Piping Codes.
All pressures are calculated from equations in ASME
B31.3, Process Piping. See factors for calculating working
pressures in accordance with ASME B31.1, Power Piping.
Calculations are based on maximum OD and minimum wall
thickness, except as noted in individual tables.
Example: 1/2 in. OD 0.035 in. wall stainless steel tubing
purchased to ASTM A269:
OD Tolerance 0.005 in. / Wall Thickness 10 %
Calculations are based on 0.505 in. OD 0.0315 in. wall
tubing.
No allowance is made for corrosion or erosion.
A heavy wall tube resists ferrule action more than a thin
wall tube, allowing the ferrules to coin out minor surface
imperfections. A thin wall tube offers less resistance to ferrule
action during installation, reducing the chance of coining out
surface defects, such as scratches. Within the applicable
suggested allowable working pressure table, select a tube
wall thickness whose working pressure is outside of the
shaded areas.

Table 15Elevated Temperature Factors
To determine allowable working pressure at elevated temperatures, multiply allowable working pressures from Tables 1 through
14 by a factor shown in Table 15.
Example: Type 316 stainless steel 1/2 in. OD 0.035 in. wall at 1000F
1. The allowable working pressure at 20 to 100F (28 to 37C) is 2600 psig (Table 3, page 4).
2. The elevated temperature factor for 1000F (537C) is 0.76 (Table 15, above):
2600 psig 0.76 = 1976 psig
The allowable working pressure for 316 SS 1/2 in. OD 0.035 in. wall tubing at 1000F (537C) is 1976 psig.
Based on 375F (190C) max.
Based on the lower derating factor for stainless steel, in accordance with ASME B31.3.
