Swagelok’s twin ferrule compression fittings
Twin ferrule compression fittings help avoid leakages. And not just when transporting water. The Swagelok twin ferrule compression fitting:
- Provides a leak-tight gas seal
- Is corrosion and chemical resistant
- Is highly resistant to vibrations
- Can withstand wide temperature ranges
- Can be used in harsh and nuclear environments
- Can be re-used

When twin ferrule compression fittings are the only choice
Soldered fittings are very robust. However, contrary to twin ferrule compression fittings, they can’t be used in every situation. Imagine carrying out maintenance on a gas tube. Hopefully you used a twin ferrule compression fitting, because the open fire used when soldering a fitting might cause disaster.
Another example: would you like to solder a fitting in a power plant? Even when you cannot cool the tubes with water, due to the risk of a massive short circuit? Surely you wouldn’t... In these cases, twin ferrule compression fittings are obviously necessary.
Why twin ferrule compression fittings are perfect for so many industries
But even if you do have the choice, why not work with a twin ferrule compression fitting? After all, they require little maintenance and can be disassembled again and again without compromising leak-tightness. Furthermore, they are resistant to vibration fatigue and can be used when working with aggressive chemicals.
They do not corrode and ensure leak-tightness, even in ice cold water, in space or when working with high temperatures, for example in steam supply. Yes, even in nuclear power plants. After all, they meet key standards such as ASME Section III and B16.34.
How Swagelok ensures the reliability of its twin ferrule compression fitting
Did you ever wonder how we ensure the reliability of our twin ferrule compression fittings?
It is because we use not one, but two ferrules. The front ferrule creates a seal against the fitting body and on the tubing outside diameter. As the nut is turned, the back ferrule advances the front ferrule and radially applies and effective tube grip.
This technology is optimized for strength and ductility, and is therefore highly suitable in industries varying from oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, alternative fuels and semiconductors. More information about our twin ferrule compression fittings.
