Key Definitions â–¸
English Threads
A family of inch-based threaded fitting standards commonly used in chromatography and laboratory fluidic systems, including sizes such as 10-32, 1/4-28, and 5/16-24.
Thread Adapter
A precision-machined component used to connect two fittings or ports with different thread sizes or geometries while maintaining a secure, leak-free seal.
Flat-Bottom Thread
A thread style where sealing occurs at the bottom of the receiving port, commonly used with ferrules to create reliable fluidic connections in low- and high-pressure applications.
Coned Thread
A thread design that seals via a conical interface between the fitting and port, enabling zero-dead-volume connections and improved chromatographic performance.
Chemical Compatibility
The ability of adapter materials such as stainless steel, PEEK, or ETFE to resist degradation when exposed to solvents, buffers, and reagents used in analytical workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions â–¸
What are English Threaded Adapters used for?
English Threaded Adapters are used to securely connect fittings or ports with different inch-based thread sizes, allowing compatibility between components without modifying the system.
Which thread types are commonly supported?
Common English thread types include 10-32, 1/4-28, and 5/16-24, available in flat-bottom or coned sealing styles depending on the application.
What materials are available for English Threaded Adapters?
English Threaded Adapters are manufactured from stainless steel, PEEK, or ETFE (Tefzelâ„¢), offering excellent chemical resistance across a wide range of solvents and reagents.
How do I choose the correct adapter for my system?
Selection depends on the thread sizes and sealing styles of the components being connected, required pressure rating, and chemical compatibility with your application solvents.
