All About Fittings
Upchurch Scientific fittings expert John Batts now offers the benefit of his extensive knowledge and experience in a comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand booklet: All About Fittings. Building on HPLC Fittings by company founder Paul Upchurch, Batts unravels the mysteries of plumbing HPLC and other fluid transfer applications — including hyphenated chromatography systems, such as LC-MS. And he conveys it all in an entertaining, conversational style.
Batts starts with the most basic question: Just what are fittings? After revealing the secrets of nuts, ferrules and thread geometry, he reveals how fittings work and the vital role they play in the success of laboratory applications. From there he goes on to explain the easiest way to identify your system’s fittings and to offer advice on choosing the best fitting for a given application.
Since HPLC is still an important fluid transfer application, the booklet includes a chapter that explains key HPLC system components and the tubing and fittings that tie it together.
Finally Batts addresses various related topics such as options for connecting capillary tubing and the use of adapters and unions. He also includes an appendix, which discusses filtration, backpressure regulators and the advantages/disadvantages of various polymers — as well as a glossary of pertinent terms.
