definitely will use thread sealant. The fact the manufacturer even has this thread on an outlet without the typical design to seal it makes no sense. However I have seen fittings with this exact design for BSP triclamp fittings so it is done just not a standard from what I can find.
Here is a bit more info. You can see what I am talking aout. Essentially I would be torquing the fitting to compress the washer to seal the outlet of a water pump.
I understand but is there some kind of conversion for torque on a straight thread to compress the seal a certain percentage so you do not overcompress or undercompress.
I am not sure what you mean. So there are also whats called a banjo seal with is a bonded washer used for BSPP fittings which have their own torque value, however this is a rubber flat washer
So basically I am wondering what torque to use on a BSPP fitting similar to this link below. I want to compress the washer inside but my torque value will determine how much the rubber washer compresses. I understand you need durometer value to determine this also, but assuming a 60-70 durometer...
Makes sense,I think dropping it into the run ad welding around is the easiest and provides a more universal application for the fitting in various tube sizes . Thanks
So I have asked a similar question before however I am machining a part and welding it to a tube. 1.5" tube 1.65 wall. I am machining an adapter to house a pressure fitting and I was thinking of just making a slightly oversized hole and dropping the fitting in and welding around to join them...
So I guess my question is, once stainless 304 pipe is welded toghether through butt weld joint or whatever, and food or beverage is passing through the pipe, can the weld cause any kif of food contamination as it the fluid of food passes by it if that makes sense?
Cost has incresaed significantly because of the prep involved and the thicker plate. I guess the thing is we have made these locally with the current design without the prep work and thicker plate etc. But I see your point that they want to create a reliable weld based off their current...

Here is how I am doing it now, with the 2MM sheet metal. We have...
Ok so I have a tank I am getting made in China. Several fittings on the endplate. End plate sheet thickness is stainless 304 2mm thick. as you can see the model shows the endplate butt welded up against the other two components sheet on top and lower bent sheet. China is wanting to increase the...
