IFAN ISO 15875 Brass Compression Fittings

Standard Pressure Ratings

Most ISO 15875 brass compression fittings have rated pressures. Typically, they can handle up to 1000 psi. But this may vary depending on the manufacturer.

Temperature Influence

Temperature affects pressure capacity. Higher temperatures can reduce the pressure a brass compression fitting can hold. In hot water systems, consider this factor.

Size Matters

The size of the fitting significantly influences its pressure handling capabilities. Generally, larger fittings may hold more pressure compared to smaller ones. For instance, a 1/2-inch fitting might differ considerably from a 3/4-inch one in terms of the amount of pressure it can safely withstand.

Installation Quality

Proper installation is crucial. Tightening the nut correctly affects pressure resistance. Loose installation can lead to leaks and lower pressure capacity.

Application Variability

Different applications need different pressures. In residential use, such as household water supply or heating systems, lower pressures usually suffice. However, in industrial settings like chemical plants or factories, much higher pressures are required to meet the complex operational needs.

Testing Pressure Limits

You can test pressure limits. Use pressure gauges. But be careful not to exceed safe limits to avoid failure.
