Exhaustive studies have shown that the tubing will yield before the Double-Ferrule joint starts to leak.<\/p>\n<p>The reason behind the effectiveness of the Double-Ferrule Tube Fitting lies in the two-ferrule configuration that incorporates geometry and metallurgy. All activity in the fitting is an axial movement along the tube instead of a rotary motion to make the joint. This axial movement prevents the transfer of any torque from being fitted to the tube.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginengineers.com\/stainless-steel-316-instrumentation-tube-fittings-manufacturer-supplier.html\">SS 316 Double-Ferrule Tube Fitting<\/a> is that the twin ferrule&#8217;s swaging action overcomes variations in thickness, hardness, and dimensional tolerance of the tubing wall.<\/p>\n<p>Double-Ferrule Tube Fittings and Single-Ferrule Tube Fittings are easy to assemble and do not require any special equipment.
