Light Duty Hydraulic Pipeline Ferrule

XYOON L-series cutting rings are purpose-built bite-type connectors for DIN 2353 24° cone tube fittings, designed exclusively for thin-wall seamless steel tubing. When tightened, Light Duty Hydraulic Pipeline Ferrule radially compresses and uniformly bites into the tube outer wall, creating a leak-tight, vibration-resistant metal-to-metal seal without welding, flaring or sealant. It is a lightweight, cost-effective and maintenance-friendly connection solution for 16–25MPa rated systems, and drops directly into existing DIN-standard fitting assemblies.

Core Value & Key Differentiators

We did not just make another standard ferrule — we optimized it for real-world thin-tube failure modes:

Tube-cracking resistant blade profile

The cutting edge features a rounded arc geometry instead of a sharp raw edge, so it penetrates the tube wall evenly across 360° without shearing the tube material. Field testing on φ8×1mm thin-wall tubing shows a cracking rate below 0.1%, with pull-out strength 30% above industry average.

Lightweight design, lower total system cost

Matched to DIN 2391 precision thin-wall tubes, each ferrule weighs 28% less than an equivalent S-series heavy ferrule. Combined with thinner tubing, it reduces overall piping material cost by 25–30% while maintaining full rated pressure performance — ideal for high-volume OEM production.

Consistent batch-to-batch performance

All ferrules undergo controlled atmosphere case hardening, with surface hardness held within HRC 58–62 and case depth precisely controlled at 0.1–0.15mm. Performance variation between production batches is ≤2%, eliminating surprises in mass assembly.

Applications & Real-World Project Cases of Light Duty Hydraulic Pipeline Ferrule

Typical use cases

Centralized lubrication systems for CNC machines, automation production line pneumatic circuits, textile machinery hydraulic piping, food & beverage conveying lines, cooling water systems, instrumentation control lines, light chemical process piping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can Light Duty Hydraulic Pipeline Ferrules be used on equipment with constant vibration?

A: Yes. Our optimized bite profile meets DIN standards for vibration resistance under rated pressure, and works reliably on automation equipment and machine tools. For heavy shock and high-pressure pulse applications, we recommend our heavy S-series ferrules instead.

Q2: Are they compatible with other brands of L-series tube fittings?

A: Yes. They are manufactured strictly to DIN 2353 L-series dimensions and can be directly intermixed with any brand of standard 24° cone light series fittings without leakage or fit issues.

Q3: Can stainless steel light ferrules be used in seawater?

A: SS304 is not recommended for long-term seawater exposure as it may develop pitting corrosion. For marine and seawater environments, we recommend SS316L stainless steel for superior chloride resistance.

Q4: How to install L-series light ferrules correctly on thin-wall tubes?

A: Ensure tube ends are square, burr-free and clean. Insert tube fully into fitting body. Tighten nut hand-tight, then use wrench to tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn beyond hand-tight. For thin-wall tubes, avoid over-tightening to prevent tube deformation. A torque wrench is recommended for consistent assembly.

Q5: Can L-series ferrules be used with standard wall tubes?

A: L-series ferrules are specifically designed for thin-wall tubes. For standard wall thickness tubes, we recommend our S-series heavy ferrules which provide optimal bite depth and sealing performance for standard tube dimensions.
