Fittings, Adapters, Solvent Bottle Caps
For detailed information on the subject of threads in chromatography, we recommend the brochure “Fittings 101” from IDEX.
A large number of different fittings, screw connections and adapters are used in chromatography.
Since chromatography devices all originally came from the USA, imperial thread types and compression fittings such as Swagelok and Gyrolok for stainless steel tubes with an imperial OD are usually used here. Here are a few examples:
UNF 6/40 thread for capillaries with 1/32″ OD
Thread UNF 10/32 UNF for capillaries with 1/16″ OD
Compression fittings for inch pipes, here for 1/8″ stainless steel pipe
Tube fittings for low pressure liquid chromatography
Thread ¼” 28 UNF
For tubing with 1/16″ and 1/8″ OD
CS offers a wide range of solvent bottle caps with GL 45 thread for eluent bottles.
Applications include the distribution of eluent streams and safety caps for a wide variety of applications.
