Conical Head FAQ Section
Q: What industries commonly use conical heads?
A: Conical heads are widely used in oil & gas, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, and water treatment industries. Their design is particularly valuable in applications requiring precise flow control, pressure regulation, or where space constraints demand compact fitting solutions.
Q: How do I determine the right size conical head for my application?
A: Selecting the proper conical head size depends on three main factors: 1) The inner diameter of your existing piping system, 2) The required flow rate for your application, and 3) The pressure rating needed. Our technical team can assist with specific recommendations based on your system parameters.
Q: What maintenance does a conical head require?
A: Conical heads are designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspections should check for: 1) Surface corrosion or pitting, 2) Seal integrity, and 3) Thread condition. For most industrial applications, we recommend inspection every 6 months or according to your facility's maintenance schedule. Cleaning should use non-abrasive methods to preserve the precision surface finish.
Installation Guidelines
- Inspect all threads and sealing surfaces before installation
- Apply appropriate thread sealant (PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant)
- Hand-tighten until the conical head seats properly
- Use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn (do not overtighten)
- Pressure test the system before putting into full operation
