Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate select brass alloys for adapters and reducers?

Frigate selects brass grades based on mechanical load and corrosion exposure. Common alloys include C360 and CW614N for machinability and conductivity. Suppliers provide mill test reports for every batch, and Frigate verifies certificates. Frigate runs chemical analysis and hardness checks before parts enter machining. Machining trials confirm cut behavior and surface quality at production rates. Traceable batch IDs and material reports ship with finished lots for records. Non-conforming material goes to quarantine and return to the supplier.

Which thread standards and size ranges does Frigate support?

Frigate supplies adapters in the primary thread standards used worldwide. Available threads include NPT, BSP, BSPT, metric and UNC when needed. Standard sizes cover fittings from one eighth inch to two inches. Larger diameters are available for industrial piping and process lines. Custom thread pitches can be made for legacy or special equipment. Product pages list nominal sizes and compatible tube or hose sizes. Design teams can request conversion tables or cross reference support. 

What sealing methods does Frigate use to limit leakage in threads?

Frigate applies mechanical and soft sealing methods to limit leak paths. Options include molded seal faces, O rings, PTFE tape and form seals. Seal materials include NBR, EPDM and PTFE chosen for media and temperature. Plating and surface finish help seat geometry and reduce metal to metal wear. Installation notes show thread engagement length and recommended torque ranges. Field leak checks follow assembly and occur before final acceptance. The final documentation lists recommended sealant types and installation steps.

How does Frigate verify pressure performance for adapters and reducers?

Frigate uses hydrostatic methods to confirm pressure capacity for each design. Tests include burst, sustained pressure hold and controlled leak checks. Test levels reflect the design class plus project requested safety margins. Sample parts receive post test inspection for thread deformation or fatigue. Test records capture pressure, hold time and any visual findings. Reports accompany shipments for traceability and customer qualification cycles. Special tests run for cyclic pressure or elevated temperature conditions.

How does Frigate control dimensional tolerances during production?

Frigate sets tolerances based on part function and the thread standard. Critical features go to close tolerance control to match assembly needs. Frigate measures parts with coordinate measuring machines and calibrated gauges. GO NO GO checks and profile scans record thread and form compliance. Statistical process control monitors variation and triggers corrective action. Non-conforming parts get quarantined and full root cause reviewed. Measurement reports are attached to each shipment for inspection records. 

 

What surface finishes and platings are available for these fittings?

Frigate offers nickel, chrome and tin plating plus bright polish finishes. Plating thickness matches exposure needs for corrosion and contact performance. Pre plating cleaning removes oils and residues to avoid adhesion issues. Passivation or lacquer options serve decorative or protective service roles. Coating type and thickness tie to operating temperature and contact conditions. Adhesion and thickness tests check coating quality before release. Finish options appear in the quote and on the product specification sheet. 

 

Can Frigate handle custom adapters and small prototype runs?

Frigate supports custom designs from prototype through low volume production. Quick samples use flexible machining and short setup fixtures for speed. Tooling for small runs minimizes cost while keeping delivery schedules compact. Frigate issues sample parts for fit, sealing and function approval cycles. Quotes include material, finish and sample allowances up front for clarity. Traceability and single lot identification remain in place for small batches. Large runs move to optimized setups to balance cycle time and cost. 

 

What installation guidance does Frigate provide to avoid thread damage?

Frigate provides installation notes covering torque, lubricant and assembly steps. Follow recommended torque values to avoid thread distortion during tightening. Use the right lubricant to lower friction and reduce thread galling. Start threads by hand and align parts before applying the final torque. If tape is used, wrap threads in the tightening direction and avoid excess. Frigate can supply torque charts and installation kits on request. Field training helps reduce assembly errors and rework for crews. 

How do Frigate adapters work with plastic fittings and soft parts?

Frigate evaluates metal to plastic joints for mechanical load and thermal mismatches. Thread form and root thickness match plastic strength to avoid crack risks. Use backing features or inserts to spread clamp loads in soft materials. Choose seal types and coatings that reduce stress corrosion at joints. Service simulations check cycle life and temperature effects on joint fit. Design reviews include assembly trials to limit rework during installation. Recommendations appear on drawings and in the sample approval pack. 

What corrosion and environmental tests apply to marine grade fittings?

Frigate applies salt spray testing per ASTM B117 for marine grade parts. Parts may also undergo humidity, immersion and accelerated aging tests. Protective platings and lacquers match expected exposure and service life. Vibration and mechanical endurance checks validate fittings under motion. Inspectors review corrosion, adhesion and dimensional change after tests. Detailed test records ship with components for client filing and review. For long submersion use, Frigate supplies special sealing options and guides.
