Tubing vs hard pipe in very high pressure applications
Tubing vs hard pipe in very high pressure applications
(OP)
Good day Eng-Tippers
I searched the forums, but could not find a relevant thread.
What are your experiences with the use of tubing vs hard piping for instrument connections in very high pressure applications (Cl 1500 & Cl 1500)?
We're currently considering both options, and would like to get an idea of 'industry standard'.

"High pressure" to us is beyond 2500# class. Then you're into either pipe with Grayloc type closures, or tubing with cone and thread closures. Such "tubing" is basically pipe, just with a different method of end connection, and it typically has a wall thickness which approaches its ID.
