These charts are to be used as a guide only and are based on normal wall thicknesses, used for the various sizes. These ratings may vary widely from effects
such as the proper use of sealants, size of stock, temperature, corrosion factors, etc. Therefore, Tylok International, Inc., assumes no responsibility for its accuracy
in any individual design.
TEMPERATURE RATINGS
The standard Tylok Instrumentation Fittings are rated at the following temperatures:
316 Stainless -325°F to 1200°F Brass -40°F to 400°F Steel1 -65°F to 400°F Aluminum -40°F to 400°F
(-198°C to 648°C) (-40°C to 204°C) (-54°C to 204°C) (-40°C to 204°C)
Note: Consideration should be given to maximum temperature ratings if fittings and/or tubing are coated or plated.
Special attention should be considered when selecting coated and/or plated materials such as Steel.
