Diameter restriction of tubing after application of fitting
Diameter restriction of tubing after application of fitting
(OP)
I am curious to know if there is any data available on the resultant diameters of tubing (specifically, ASTM A269 TY304) after Swagelok/Gyrolok type fittings have been installed to recommended torque values.
We have seen some constriction in tubing ID and would like to find out if this reduction is within "normal" limits. The application uses 1/4" x .035 wall tubing.

Again if I'm not mistaken Swagelok has paper that discusses this in some detail.
