Engineered for transitioning between instrumentation tubing and male pipe connections around 90-degree corners, Pioneer Industries Brass Double Ferrule Female Elbows deliver high structural integrity and vibration damping up to 5,000 PSI.
The Brass Double Ferrule Female Elbow connects an instrumentation tube to a male pipe thread at a precise 90-degree angle. It is frequently specified where space limitations require direct, right-angle entry into male-threaded pressure instruments, regulators, or pump ports without additional elbow fittings.
Pioneer Female Elbows are hot-forged from high-tensile brass, providing generous wall thickness around the female thread to resist overtightening stresses, while twin-ferrule mechanical swaging ensures a 100% leak-proof connection on the tubing port.
Manufactured by Pioneer Industries Mumbai, these female elbows are exported worldwide to process automation builders, skid manufacturers, and marine console fabricators.
Components are precision CNC-machined from premium extruded brass (IS 319 / ASTM B16 / CW614N) with micro-smooth surface finishes. Every production lot undergoes rigorous metallurgical spectrometry, optical CMM dimensional checks, and helium leak detection, accompanied by authentic EN 10204 Type 3.1 Mill Test Certificates.

Crafted from hot-forged brass (ASTM B283 CW617N) or extruded bar stock (ASTM B16 C36000), each elbow features precision-machined internal tapers and cleanly cut female NPT/BSP pipe threads.
The forged body absorbs pipe torque without distorting the internal ferrule seating cone, guaranteeing reliable pressure containment up to 5,000 PSI.
Metric tubing sizes 6 mm to 25 mm OD (MPFE Series) and fractional sizes 1/8" to 1" OD (IPFE Series) with female NPT/BSP threads from 1/8" to 1".

Expert engineering insights and technical guidance regarding swaging mechanics, pressure thresholds, tubing compatibility, and installation protocols for Brass Double Ferrule Female Elbow.
A Brass Double Ferrule Female Elbow is a 90-degree fitting with a twin-ferrule compression tube port on one end and a female pipe thread (NPT or BSPP) on the other, designed to connect tubing at a right angle to a male pipe thread.
It is specified whenever the mating instrument, valve, or pipe fitting has an external male thread that needs to connect directly to tubing around a 90-degree corner, eliminating an intermediate female coupling.
Metric Series MPFE covers 6mm to 25mm tube OD, and Fractional Series IPFE covers 1/8″ to 1″ tube OD with female threads from 1/8″ to 1″.
Operating pressures up to 5,000 PSI (345 Bar) for sizes 1/8″ to 1/4″ and up to 3,200 PSI for 1/2″ size under ASME B31.3 standards.
Hot-forged brass conforming to ASTM B283 CW617N / C37700 or extruded brass bar stock ASTM B16 Alloy C36000.
Thread the female elbow onto the male pipe thread using PTFE tape. Then insert the tube squarely into the compression port, finger-tighten the nut, and tighten 1-1/4 turns with a wrench.
No. The heavy forged body provides high torsional resistance, ensuring that pipe torquing does not distort the ferrule seating cone.
Yes. The swaged tube joint can be remade repeatedly by retightening approx. 1/12 to 1/6 turn past snug.
Yes, certified helium leak tight (< 1 × 10⁻⁹ mbar·l/s) down to -750 mmHg vacuum.
EN 10204 Type 3.1 Material Test Certificates, hydrostatic test reports, and RoHS declarations.
