Our official website has been updated with a technical column. [Technical Column] Is it really okay to tighten that much? The importance of tightening torque as seen through packing. When tightening a ferrule with a clamp, applying excessive force can cause the ferrule packing to protrude. Protruding packing not only poses a risk of becoming a foreign object and contaminating the contents, but it can also create unnecessary space that allows for residue and adhesion, potentially leading to contamination. It is not always better to tighten strongly; it is important to tighten with the appropriate force. In this column, we conducted an experiment to see how much the packing protrudes based on the tightening torque when a ferrule is clamped.
