Oil and Gas Industry Benefits from Stainless Steel Hydraulic Fittings

Despite raised awareness for renewable energy, oil and gas remains the globally predominant source of power generation.  The pressure is on to explore new sources for oil and gas exploration and extraction as many conventional oil and gas reservoirs have become exhausted.  Improvements to the industry have made it possible to prospect areas which were previously not feasible due to harsh temperatures and weather conditions. 

Equipment and technology must support these new, demanding challenges with materials designed to hold up in these harsh environments without limitations. Stainless steel is known for corrosion resistance, although not all stainless steel is made the same.  There are varying levels of Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) required to meet certain industrial demands. 

Maintaining leak-free hydraulic systems in oil and gas equipment is critical to prevent worker injury and environmental contamination.  Hydraulic fittings engineered with CRAs in the lower range of the spectrum may not be suitable for all applications even though they are made of stainless steel.
