Is the CAMLOCK DD Aluminum Double Connector Socket rated for use with petroleum products and compatible with pressures up to 10 bar?

Yes. The CAMLOCK DD Aluminum Double Connector Socket is rated for use in petrochemical applications and is compatible with petroleum products. Constructed from aluminum with AISI 304 stainless steel (or brass for sizes 1¼"–4") levers and an NBR (nitrile) seal, it provides excellent resistance to oils, fuels and many chemicals. It is designed for safe, leak-free fluid transfer at working pressures up to 10 bar (depending on connector size).

Can the CAMLOCK DD Aluminum Double Connector Socket be used with aggressive chemicals and high-temperature fluids without compromising the NBR seal?

The CAMLOCK DD Aluminum Double Connector Socket is equipped with an NBR (nitrile) seal, which offers excellent resistance to oils, fuels and a broad range of chemicals, and is rated for service up to working pressures of 10 bar (size-dependent). However, NBR has known limitations: it performs poorly with strong acids and bases, some ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures, and its heat resistance is lower than specialty elastomers (continuous use typically limited to ~100°C depending on formulation). Practical guidance: - Suitable: mineral oils, diesel, petrol, many hydraulic fluids and common petrochemical transfer applications at typical operating temperatures — NBR seal will remain effective. - Caution/avoid: aggressive chemicals (strong acids/alkalis), certain solvents (e.g., ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters), or sustained high-temperature fluids — these can swell, harden or degrade NBR and compromise the seal. - If your service involves aggressive chemicals or high temperatures, choose a compatible seal material (e.g., FKM/Viton, EPDM, PTFE) or consult the connector supplier with the specific chemical(s), concentration and temperature to confirm compatibility. Conclusion: For typical petrochemical and oil/fuel transfer the CAMLOCK DD Aluminum Double Connector Socket with NBR seal is appropriate; for aggressive chemicals or high-temperature fluids, NBR may be compromised and an alternative seal or verification is required.
