How It Works

Phastite for pipe is a patented technology providing permanent connections to off-the-shelf pressure pipe. The robust design and permanent locking features assure leak-free performance in even the most demanding fluid and gas applications.

Phastite is a two-piece precision-machined fitting consisting of a 316 stainless-steel body and high strength duplex stainless steel collar. The fitting is delivered ready for fabrication with a pre-swage gap and dry film moly lubricated collar.

 
After a quick visual pipe inspection and gauging process, Phastite fittings are hydraulically swaged to the pipe. The Phastite fitting with the swaging process is designed so that a weld-equivalent permanent connection is attained when the gap is fully closed. The pipe sealing and retention features of Phastite are achieved through its unique design. As the Phastite collar is axially engaged to the fitting body, the radial sealing teeth progressively lock to the pipe. No seals or o-rings are used in this innovative metal-to-metal design.

A slight degree of pipe compression effectively provides a permanent loading to the connection, ensuring that the teeth securely hold and seal the pipe. Furthermore, collar locking rings ensure absolute connection integrity as the mating geometries between the fitting body and the collar are locked together. Once this collar is locked to the fitting body, it will not disengage—offering a stable weld-alternative connection in minutes.

Assembly as Easy as 1-2-3

Step 1

Cut pipe squarely. Gauge pipe. Mark pre-insertion and post-insertion indicators on pipe.
Step 2

Select and load tooling, insert Phastite fitting and pipe into Phastool® machine. Actuate Phastool.
Step 3

Remove pipe/fitting assembly. Visually inspect pre/post insertion marks and pre-swage gap on finished connection.

Rigorously Tested and Proven Technology

Fluid power systems in the oil and gas industry carry stringent performance requirements and are subjected to demanding acceptance criteria by stakeholders. Parker partnered with DNV GL to qualify Phastite for the rigorous demands of topside/marine and subsea fluid power systems.

Virtually every industrial and oil and gas performance requirement has been considered in the development and testing of Phastite. It meets or exceeds SAE/ ISO performance requirements for mechanically attached fittings and maintains both a fluid and gas-tight seal while being subjected to an exhaustive battery of application-specific tests. In short, Phastite has been tested and proven well beyond traditional mechanically attached fitting testing protocols, including tests for sub-sea hyperbaric/collapse resistance, numerous corrosion tests, and fire test.

Phastite for Pipe completed and passed the following performance tests per DNVGL-RP-A203:

  • Hydrostatic leak and burst to ASTM F1387
  • Vibration to ASTM F1387/MIL-STD-167
  • Cyclic endurance (Impulse test) to ASTM F1387 / ISO19879
  • Subsea simulated hyperbaric API 5C3 (modified)
  • Torsion and tension to ASTM F1387
  • Bending moment
  • Fire test
  • Hydrogen induced stress cracking (HISC)
  • Stress corrosion cracking to ASTM F1387 (modified)
  • Corrosion testing (general and crevice)
