Ferrule Fittings Pressure Ratings – PE-LOCK Safe Working Pressure Guide for Compression Fittings

Perfect Engineers, through its precision-engineered brand PE-LOCK, provides ferrule fittings capable of handling up to 10,000 PSI of pressure in gas, liquid, and steam systems. This page offers verified pressure rating data across tube sizes, materials, and temperature ranges, helping engineers select the right fitting for their critical process line or instrumentation application.

Our pressure data is based on international testing standards, factoring in material yield strength, tube wall thickness, connection geometry, and application-specific temperature.

What Affects Ferrule Fitting Pressure Ratings?

The working pressure of a compression ferrule fitting is determined by:.

  • Tube OD & Wall Thickness – Thicker walls and smaller diameters handle more pressure
  • Material Type – Inconel, SS316, Monel, and Duplex differ in tensile strength
  • Operating Temperature – Elevated temperatures reduce pressure ratings
  • Thread Type & Assembly – Proper torque and support affect max pressure performance
  • Application & Media – Gas systems need higher safety margins than liquid systems

Pressure Rating Table by Tube Size & Material

Tube OD (in) Wall (in) SS316L Duplex SS Inconel 625 Monel 400
1/8” 0.030” 6,000 PSI 8,500 PSI 10,000 PSI 6,000 PSI
1/4” 0.049” 6,000 PSI 9,000 PSI 10,000 PSI 6,000 PSI
3/8” 0.065” 5,000 PSI 7,500 PSI 9,000 PSI 5,000 PSI
1/2” 0.083” 4,800 PSI 7,200 PSI 8,500 PSI 4,500 PSI
3/4” 0.095” 3,500 PSI 5,200 PSI 7,500 PSI 3,200 PSI
1” 0.109” 3,000 PSI 4,800 PSI 6,500 PSI 2,800 PSI

Values shown are for standard annealed tubing, at ambient temperature (≤ 37°C). For elevated temperatures, apply temperature de-rating.

Temperature De-Rating Factors for Ferrule Fittings

Material Temp (°C) Multiply Working Pressure by:
SS316/316L 100°C 0.97
SS316/316L 200°C 0.85
SS316/316L 400°C 0.72
Inconel 625 400°C 0.88
Hastelloy C276 300°C 0.80
Monel 400 200°C 0.75
Duplex SS 250°C 0.90

Always factor in temperature de-rating for steam, reactor, and high-temp gas lines

Safety Factors in Pressure Rating

  1. Gas Service: Use 4x safety factor (ASME B31.3 recommendation)
  2. Liquid Service: Use 3x safety factor
  3. Pulsating/Vibration: Consider fatigue de-rating
  4. Hydrostatic Testing: Typically performed at 1.5x to 2x of design pressure

How to Calculate Custom Fitting Pressure Ratings

To calculate allowable working pressure for non-standard sizes or materials:

Formula (simplified for ferrule use):

P = (2 * S * t) / D
Where:
P = Max working pressure
S = Allowable stress of material (MPa)
t = Wall thickness (mm)
D = Outside diameter (mm)

Buyer-Focused FAQs

Yes. Our helium leak-tested fittings are suitable for compressed gases, including O₂ and H₂.

Use our temperature factor table above. For example, SS316L at 400°C = 72% of its rated pressure.
