Fabricating Systems in Tungum Alloy

Tungum Alloy’s special combination of high strength and ductility make it a very easy material to use on even the most complex of systems. The ease with which it can be cold bent and manipulated, means that the are often significant reductions in the system installation time compared to other materials, particularly stainless steel, copper nickel and monel.

Correctly applied, most types of high duty coupling can be used to Tungum Alloy tubing. The exceptions are common brass versions of couplings in which the tightening of the nut must also deform the tube: these fittings are never strong enough to work on Tungum Alloy tubing.

Always follow the assembly instructions provided by the coupling manufacturer. For added confidence of a permanent hard piped system, why not consider our own “PG Series” Silver Solder Fittings.

“PG Series” Silver Solder Fittings have the General Approval of Lloyds Register for use in systems designated to operate at high pressures. They are designed to satisfy the demands for high strength and corrosion resistance. The “PG series” also employs Tungum Alloy material to provide the foundations for consistent quality brazed joints.

Available in sizes 6mm to 50mm, the comprehensive range is described in a product leaflet, available on request.

Also available on request is our Design & Workshop Guide which outlines the most common situations likely to be encountered when using the material; our Design Engineers are also available to advise on specfic matters.
