About the successful certification of u2-Lok Twin Ferrule Fittings fittings by DNV · GL (Det Norske Veritas · Germanischer Lloyd), the Schwer Fittings GmbH was delighted. The very extensive type examination included the following tests: Combined pressure pulse and vibration test, repeated assembly, leak testing, vacuum testing, pull test and a burst resistance.
Basically, the u2-Lok screw connection consists of 4 components or individual parts: The media-carrying base body (straight socket, elbow, T-piece or cross piece), the union nut and the two rings, also known as clamping and wedge rings.
The screw connections are used wherever gases and liquid media flow and where a high safety standard is required. It is also ideal for hydrogen applications.
