HOKE, a CIRCOR product brand, has launched the new GYROLOK XP product range, aiming to improves the installation assembly process and ensures safer and more reliable tube-fitting connections
GYROLOK XP is the tube fitting specifically designed and tested to overcome the challenges of assembling fittings onto a complete range of corrosion resistant, heavy wall tubes. The product is designed to grip heavier wall tubes, which increases working pressures by up to 80 per cent over conventional tube fittings.
“The GYROLOK XP underscores our mission-critical severe service strategy,” said Erik Wiik, group president of CIRCOR Energy. “The new product allows our XP fittings to be used on tubing with higher pressure ranges, including exotic alloy tubing used in severe service applications. This increased capability replaces the more expensive options, such as welded tube fittings or the cone and thread approach.”
“The unique GYROLOK XP design simplifies the installation and ensures that fittings cannot be overtightened, the most common installation error leading to leaks,” he added.
