The Importance of Stainless Steel Fittings for Oil & Gas Applications

The Oil & Gas industry relies upon heavy duty machinery and equipment which is subjected to extreme environmental conditions and intense mechanical stress. All components, including hydraulic quick couplings, must consider these factors to prevent accelerating premature wear or failure. Quick coupling failure in pressurized applications poses serious safety risks as well as costly damage and repairs.

Quick coupler failure could result in contamination of the circuit, causing damage to components and equipment.  Hydraulic fluid leaks may result in environmental contamination which creates costly clean-up efforts and potential fines.  Any result from quick coupling failure has the potential to seriously impact profitability.

Choosing reliable and durable quick couplings, designed to withstand the intense elements in the oil and gas industry is critical for efficient and profitable operations. As the Oil & Gas industry is continually exploring prohibitive environmental conditions, the use of stainless steel quick couplings is mandatory for reliable equipment performance. Not all stainless steel is created equally, however, and machinery supervisors and operators should be aware of the type of material their couplings are made of.
