TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
The
CLASSIC SERIES
is characterized by a longer barb that
extends the sealing surface of the fitting. Tubing is expanded
from 42% to 69% above its nominal ID.
The
200 SERIES
offers outstanding performance characteristics
when used with flexible tubing. Tubing is expanded by 50%
above its nominal ID, permitting high-pressure capabilities.
The
300 SERIES
offers outstanding performance characteristics
when used with flexible tubing. Tubing is expanded by 35%
above its nominal ID, permitting high-pressure capabilities in
the larger tube sizes.
The
400 Series
provides easy assembly while maintaining
excellent pressure and tensile capabilities. Originally created for
semi-rigid tubing, this series is preferred for applications where
tensile/pressure properties are not highly critical, or when ease
of assembly is desired. The 400 Series expands the tubing 25%
above its nominal ID.
The
500 SERIES
profile is composed of blended radii, giving it
the distinct look. Each barb is designed to accommodate a range
of tube sizes and tube types. Consideration should be given to
flow restriction, pressure capability, and the force required for
assembly of the tube.
The
600 SERIES
barbs are designed for use with silicone, C-Flex
®
and PVC tubing sizes commonly used in biopharm and other
applications. Tubing is expanded from 18% to 34% above its
nominal ID to maintain a low profile and ease of assembly, and
the straight barb stem facilitates use of recommended cable tie
retainers or hose clamps.
The
700 SERIES
barb is designed for use with Value Plastics’ XQ
Series quick connect fittings. This unique single barb is available
in sizes to fit the 1/4” (6.4 mm), 5/16” (7.9 mm) and 3/8” (9.5
mm) ID tubing sizes and materials commonly used in disposable
and reusable medical equipment. Reinforced PVC, unreinforced
PVC and polyurethane tubingmaterials work well with this barb style.
The
900 SERIES
offers outstanding performance characteristics
when used with flexible tubing. Tubing is expanded from 8% to
17% above its nominal ID. This barb provides high flow efficiency
and excellent tensile strength. A hose clamp is recommended
for this series.
