Ganpat Metal Pvt. Ltd. handles SS 316 tube fittings requirements for industrial instrumentation, process tubing and equipment connections. The product configurations covered by enquiries include tube-to-male, tube-to-union and tube-to-female fittings, along with other specified connection designs subject to availability.
SS 316 tube fittings must match the tubing dimensions, thread specification, end connection and operating conditions of the installation. Ganpat Metal can review enquiries based on technical drawings, part numbers, material specifications and purchase schedules to help identify the required fitting configuration.
SS 316 is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel grade used in industrial tubing and instrumentation systems where the material is suitable for the service conditions. The grade is commonly specified for applications that require different corrosion-resistance characteristics from standard SS 304, although actual suitability depends on the process medium, concentration, temperature and other operating factors.
The fitting configuration determines how the tubing connects to instruments, valves, equipment or other tube sections. Tube-to-male fittings provide a threaded interface, tube-to-union fittings join compatible tube connections, and tube-to-female fittings connect tubing to a specified female-threaded port.
For projects involving more than one stainless steel grade or fitting configuration, the broader SS Tube Fittings category page provides access to the parent product range.
Final dimensions, thread types, pressure ratings, available configurations and documentation must be confirmed for the specific fitting and purchase order.

The required fitting type depends on the tubing arrangement, equipment interface and connection design.
The actual fitting range, dimensions and end connections should be confirmed against the product catalogue, drawing or part number before ordering.
Correct dimensions and thread identification are essential when selecting replacement fittings or preparing a new tubing assembly. The tube outside diameter, nominal thread size and thread form must match the mating component.
The supplied reference includes banjo fitting dimensions and BSP/NPT thread information. However, some entries appear inconsistent, particularly for larger nominal sizes. These figures should be checked against the original manufacturer drawing or verified dimensional schedule before being used as a published dimensional table.
When requesting a quotation, specify:
BSP and NPT threads use different thread forms and profiles. They should not be treated as interchangeable without confirming the connection design and sealing method.
The supplied reference mentions pressure ratings of 1,000, 3,000, 6,000 and 10,000 psi. These figures should only be assigned to specific fitting designs and sizes after confirmation against the manufacturer's pressure-rating documentation.
The actual pressure limit depends on the fitting construction, tube dimensions, connection mechanism, temperature and installation requirements. A rating for one fitting configuration should not automatically be applied to another.
Common connection options include:
For an accurate quotation, provide the fitting type, tube outside diameter, thread standard, operating pressure, temperature and service medium.
SS 316 tube fittings may be specified for industrial systems where the material grade, fitting design and connection are suitable for the operating conditions.
Final suitability depends on the process medium, concentration, temperature, pressure and connection design. Confirm the requirements against the engineering specification before selecting the fitting.
Inspection requirements should be established at the enquiry stage and matched to the fitting design and purchase specification. Depending on the order, the required documentation may include:
Not every test applies to every fitting. Confirm the available certificates, inspection scope and traceability requirements for the specific product before placing the order.
