SIELC Advanced Fitting Design. Smart-Fitting™ System.
When pressure approaches 5000 psi (350 bar), capillary lines have the tendency to pop-up when tightened by regular HPLC fittings. The advances during the past few years of ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography makes reliable connections a challenging task, if used with finger-tight fitting design. SIELC addresses this situation with a new breakthrough design of:
Ultra High Pressure Fittings
- Strong stainless steel thread allows many more use-cycles than a one-piece PEEK design
- Finger-tight installation. PEEK tip installs permanently and cannot be lost
- Pressure rating up to 14,000 psi (1000 bar)
- One-size-fits-most applications, including columns, valves, and instrument ports
- Break-resistant — when a normal column is accidentally dropped with the fitting in, the PEEK fitting usually breaks, leaving hard-to-remove pieces inside the column. Metal fitting can bend — but it won’t break, and thus it can be simply replaced with another fitting, saving the expensive column.
- Improves heat transfer with the incoming capillary, when a column heater is used
- PEEK and metal-capillary compatible
- Special capillary tube gripping mechanism allows strong holding effect of the tube, even with very gentle tightening force
- Patent-pending design
