Instrument Tube Fitting

Twin-Ferrule Instrument Tube Fittings

Twin/double-ferrule compression fittings for instrumentation tubing, in the full range of configurations below, identified by TSI’s own ordering code (TSI-01-XXX) for easy reference and quotation.

Shared technical basis

TSI-01 codes are TSI supply/RFQ references for products sourced from qualified manufacturers. No dedicated fitting standard exists for this product family. Working pressure is governed by the tubing standard (ASTM A269/A213, ASME B31.3), not the fitting body — final working pressure is confirmed against the selected manufacturer, tube OD, wall thickness, material, temperature and end connection. NPT follows ASME B1.20.1; BSPT follows ISO 7-1; BSPP follows ISO 228-1. Fitting body material to ASTM A479 / ASME SA479 (bar stock) or ASTM A182 / ASME SA182 (forgings).
