Suggested Pipe Thread Pressure Ratings

Tylok pipe fittings are manufactured from materials that meet ASTM and ASME specifications, including brass, steel, and 316 stainless steel. The pipe threads meet or exceed ANSI standards and the fittings undergo strict quality control and inspection. Charts are provided showing the suggested maximum operating pressures for different materials and pipe sizes at various temperatures, noting that the ratings may vary depending on factors like wall thickness, temperature, and corrosion. Temperature and pressure ratings are listed for the common materials.

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.

The following table lists multiplier factors that must be considered in applications above that of ambient
temperatures.
Temperatures Multiplier Factors Example
304 316 Carbon Type 316 Stainless Steel 1/4” O.D. x .049” wall at
