When assembling HPLC tubing and capillary connections, choosing the correct ferrule is important because the ferrule works together with the fitting to secure the tubing in the connection. During installation, the tubing passes through the ferrule and into the corresponding fitting. As the fitting is tightened, the ferrule is compressed against the tubing, helping keep it in a stable position during operation and routine maintenance. This 2.0mm PEEK Ferrule is designed for tubing with a 2.0mm outside diameter (OD) and is intended for compatible HPLC fittings and laboratory fluid connection applications.
| Model | Compatible Tubing Diameter | Top OD | Overall Height | Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YXRH-20 | 5/64″ | 2.0mm | 5.0mm | 4.95mm |
| YXRH-201 | 5/64″ | 2.0mm | 4.5mm | 3.50mm |
The YXRH-20 is a PEEK ferrule for HPLC tubing connections manufactured from PEEK material. In a typical installation, the 2.0mm OD tubing is inserted through the ferrule before the fitting is tightened. The ferrule then works with the internal geometry of the fitting to grip the tubing. This design allows the ferrule to help secure the tube and maintain a stable connection during normal use. For HPLC systems, where tubing connections may need to be assembled, adjusted or replaced during instrument maintenance, using a ferrule matched to the tubing and fitting is an important part of proper installation.
This 2.0mm PEEK Ferrule is specifically intended for 2.0mm OD tubing and should not be selected as a direct substitute for ferrules designed for 1/16 inch tubing. Although these tubing sizes may appear similar in some applications, their actual outside diameters are different. Before ordering a replacement ferrule, users should confirm the tubing OD, fitting configuration and required ferrule dimensions. This is particularly important when replacing an existing component, because the ferrule must be compatible with both the tubing and the corresponding fitting.
During practical assembly, the condition of the ferrule can also affect the installation process. This model features a burr-free, smoother finish, with attention given to the bore, tapered profile, outer dimensions and surface quality during molding and finishing. A clean edge and smooth surface can help reduce unnecessary interference when the ferrule is installed onto tubing. For laboratories and equipment suppliers that handle repeated tubing assembly and replacement, consistent dimensions and clean finishing are useful considerations when selecting replacement components.
The tapered structure is another important part of the ferrule’s function. When the compatible HPLC fitting is tightened, the ferrule is compressed within the fitting and works against the tubing to help hold it securely in position. It is therefore not simply a spacer between the fitting and the tube. The ferrule is a functional connection component that must match the fitting geometry and tubing diameter. If the ferrule size is incorrect, the connection may not assemble as intended, which is why checking the tubing OD and fitting compatibility before installation is recommended.
For laboratories, HPLC equipment suppliers and maintenance teams, ferrules are commonly used as replacement components because tubing connections may be disassembled during routine maintenance or system modification. A ferrule that has already been compressed during installation may not be suitable for repeated reuse in every application, so keeping compatible replacement ferrules in stock can make maintenance work more convenient. This product is supplied in a 10-piece pack, making it suitable for laboratory maintenance, equipment servicing, distributors and suppliers of tubing connection components.
When acquiring a PEEK replacement ferrule, it’s essential for users to consider the entire connection system rather than choosing based solely on material or appearance. Important specifications to consider include the tubing’s outside diameter, type of fitting, ferrule dimensions, bore size, tapered geometry, and the overall structure of the connection. For this particular model, the compatible tubing size is 2.0mm OD. It’s crucial to ensure compatibility with the intended HPLC fitting prior to installation, especially if the ferrule is replacing a part from a different supplier or an existing connection in an instrument.
