Gas Flare Fittings FAQs

What is a Gas Flare Fitting?

A gas flare fitting is a specialized component used in gas flare systems to safely and efficiently vent excess gas. These systems are crucial in various industries, including oil and gas production, chemical processing, and refineries, where excess gas needs to be safely disposed of.

Gas flare fittings are designed to withstand the harsh conditions associated with gas flaring, such as high temperatures, corrosive environments, and high pressures. They are typically made from high-quality materials like stainless steel and alloys, ensuring durability and long service life.

No, you should not use pipe dope on flared gas fittings.

Flare fittings create a seal by compressing the flared end of the tubing against the fitting. Adding pipe dope can interfere with this process, preventing proper sealing and potentially causing leaks.

If you encounter leaks with flared gas fittings, the issue usually lies in improper flaring of the tubing or incorrect installation of the fitting.

In a brass flare fitting, the flare is located on the end of the tubing.

The tubing itself is “flared,” meaning it is expanded and deformed at the end to create a specific angle, typically 37 degrees for JIC and AN fittings.

This flared end of the tubing is then inserted into the fitting and secured with a nut, creating a leak-tight seal.

No, you should not use Teflon tape on flared gas fittings.

Flared fittings create a seal by compressing the flared end of the tubing against the fitting. Teflon tape can interfere with this process, preventing proper sealing and potentially causing leaks.

If you encounter leaks with flared gas fittings, the issue usually lies in improper flaring of the tubing or incorrect installation of the fitting.

Connecting flare gas fittings requires careful attention to detail to ensure a leak-free and safe connection.

Here’s a general guide:

  1. Prepare the Fittings:

    • Cleanliness is crucial: Thoroughly clean the male and female ends of the fittings to remove any dirt, debris, or oil. This will ensure a proper seal.
    • Check for damage: Inspect the fittings for any signs of damage, such as cracks or burrs. Damaged fittings should not be used.
  2. Assemble the Connection:

    • Hand-tighten: Carefully hand-tighten the fitting and flare nut together. Do not overtighten at this stage.
    • Use wrenches: Use two wrenches – one to hold the fitting stationary and the other to tighten the flare nut. This prevents the fitting from twisting and ensures even tightening.
    • Tighten to the specified torque: Refer to the manufacturer‘s instructions for the recommended torque value. Overtightening can damage the fitting and cause leaks.
  3. Check for Leaks:

    • After tightening, carefully inspect the connection for any signs of leaks.
    • Use leak detection solution: Apply a leak detection solution (such as soapy water) to the connection. If bubbles appear, there is a leak that needs to be addressed.
    • Re-tighten if necessary: If a leak is found, carefully re-tighten the connection, but avoid overtightening.

Important Notes:

  • Always refer to the manufacturer‘s instructions: Specific installation procedures and torque values may vary depending on the type of fitting and application.
  • Safety first: Always work in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate safety precautions when working with gas lines.
  • If you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process, consult with a qualified professional.

Several types of fittings are used for gas applications, each with specific advantages depending on the system and its requirements.

  • NPT (National Pipe Thread) Fittings: These are the most common type, featuring tapered threads that create a seal as they are tightened. NPT fittings are available in various sizes and materials, making them versatile for many gas piping applications.

  • Flared Fittings: These fittings use a 37-degree flare on the tubing to create a seal against a mating surface. Flared fittings are often used in high-pressure applications and offer excellent leak resistance.

  • Compression Fittings: These fittings use a compression ring to create a seal around the tubing. Compression fittings are relatively easy to install and disassemble, making them suitable for some gas applications.

  • Swagelok Fittings: These are a type of compression fitting known for their high quality and reliability. They are widely used in industrial and laboratory settings.

The choice of fitting type depends on factors such as the gas type, pressure, temperature, and the specific requirements of the application. It’s crucial to select the appropriate fittings to ensure safe and reliable gas system operation.

Here is the guide on gas flare fitting installation in the following:

1. Preparation

  • Cleanliness is Crucial: Thoroughly clean the male and female ends of the fittings to remove any dirt, debris, or oil. This will ensure a proper seal.
  • Inspect for Damage: Examine the fittings for any signs of damage, such as cracks or burrs. Damaged fittings should not be used.
  • Prepare the Tubing: If using tubing, cut it to the correct length and ensure the cut end is square and free of burrs.

2. Flaring the Tubing (if applicable)

  • Use a flaring tool: A flaring tool is specifically designed to create the 37-degree flare on the end of the tubing.
  • Follow the manufacturer‘s instructions: The specific procedure for using the flaring tool will vary depending on the model.

3. Assembly

  • Slide the nut onto the tube: Slide the flare nut onto the flared end of the tubing.
  • Hand-tighten: Carefully hand-tighten the fitting and flare nut together. Do not overtighten at this stage.
  • Use wrenches: Use two wrenches – one to hold the fitting stationary and the other to tighten the flare nut. This prevents the fitting from twisting and ensures even tightening.
  • Tighten to the specified torque: Refer to the manufacturer‘s instructions for the recommended torque value. Overtightening can damage the fitting and cause leaks.

4. Leak Check

  • Inspect for leaks: After tightening, carefully inspect the connection for any signs of leaks.
  • Use leak detection solution: Apply a leak detection solution (such as soapy water) to the connection. If bubbles appear, there is a leak that needs to be addressed.
  • Re-tighten if necessary: If a leak is found, carefully re-tighten the connection, but avoid overtightening.

Important Notes:

  • Always refer to the manufacturer‘s instructions: Specific installation procedures and torque values may vary depending on the type of fitting and application.
  • Safety first: Always work in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate safety precautions when working with gas lines.
  • If you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process, consult with a qualified professional.

No, you should not use sealant on flared gas fittings.

Flared fittings create a seal by compressing the flared end of the tubing against the fitting itself.

Adding sealant can interfere with this process, preventing proper sealing and potentially causing leaks.
