Tube to Threaded Adaptors
Tube to threaded adaptors are manufactured in 316L stainless steel and have a 28mm long weld shoulder. Female fittings use a parallel thread with internal Glyon face seal, while male fittings use a taper thread. Standard fittings have an internal finish of 0.8 microns Ra.
Size Range | Male thread – 1/8″ – 2″ BSP taper Female thread – 1/8″ – 2″ BSP parallel Weld side – 1/2″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant tube |
Material | 316L stainless steel |
Options | NPT threads Alternative sizes Enhanced surface finishes and electropolishing C22 alloy and other materials |

Threaded Adaptors
Where a threaded product is to be coupled with a clamp fitting Staitech offer a range of stainless steel BSP-to-Clamp adaptors. Female fittings use a parallel thread with internal Gylon face seal, while male fittings use a taper thread. Standard fittings have an internal finish of 0.8 microns Ra.
Size Range | Male thread – 1/8″ – 2″ BSP taper Female thread – 1/8 – 2″ BSP Parallel Clamp end to suit 1/2″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant fittings |
Material | 316L stainless steel |
Options | Larger sizes NPT threads Enhanced surface finishes and electropolishing C22 alloy and other materials |

Hose Adaptors
Hose adaptors are available in a wide range of clamp and barb sizes. The clamping face on all sizes is tapered to match the barb bore ensuring complete drain-ability. As standard the adaptors are manufactured in 316L stainless steel with wetted surfaces finished to 0.5 microns Ra.
Size Range | Clamp end to suit 1/4″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant clamp connections Barb end to suit 1/4″ – 1″ nominal bore hose connections |
Material | 316L stainless steel |
Options | Larger clamp sizes C22 alloy and other materials Enhanced surface finishes and electropolishing |

Pipe Adaptor Ferrules
Pipe adaptor ferrules allow standard clamped components to be used in piping systems. All sizes are manufactured in 316L stainless steel with wetted surfaces finished to 0.8 microns Ra.
Size Range | Clamp end to suit 1/2″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant clamp fittings Weld end to suit 1/2″ – 2″ ASME pipe |
Material | 316L stainless steel |
Options | Enhanced surface finishes and electropolishing Alternative materials |

Pipe-to-Tube Adaptors
Pipe-to-Tube weld adaptors allow standard tubing components to be used in piping systems with a smooth transition between the pipe bore and tube ID. Machined from 316L stainless steel with wetted surfaces finished to 0.5 microns Ra.
Size Range | Pipe size: 1/2″ – 2″ ASTM Clamp size: 1/2″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant clamp fittings |
Material | 316L stainless steel |
Options | Alternative sizes |
Literature |

Reducing Ferrules
Where smaller components than the tubing size are to be used, reducing ferrules are available with various tube/clamp size combinations offered.
Size Range | Clamp end to suit 1/2″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant fittings Weld end to suit 3/4″ – 2″ ASME tube |
Material | 316L stainless steel with controlled sulphur and ferrite |
Options | Enhanced surface finishes and electropolishing C22 alloy and other materials |
Literature |

Instrument Ferrules
Instrument ferrules offer a simple alternative to instrument tees, allowing diaphragm seal instruments to be used in small bore piping systems. The face of the clamp fitting is tapered to meet the tube bore thus allowing the instrument diaphragm to move freely.
Size Range | Clamp end to suit 3/4″ – 2″ ASME BPE compliant fittings Weld end to suit 1/2″ – 2″ ASME tube |
Material | 316L stainless steel with controlled sulphur and ferrite |
Options | Enhanced surface finishes and electropolishing C22 alloy and other materials |

Pipe-to-Tube Socket Weld Adaptors
Where socket weld products are to be used in tubing systems, Pipe-to-Tube socket weld adaptors are also available. Adaptors fit in to a socket weld fitting, with an inner counter bore matching the OD of the mating tube. Fittings are machined from 316L stainless steel.
Size Range | Pipe size: 1/4″ – 1″ ASTM Tube size: 1/2″ – 1″ ASME BPE compliant |
Material | 316L stainless steel |
Options | Alternative sizes |
