Can the Carbon Steel Pressure Gauge Adapter FT 299 be used with hydraulic systems containing aggressive fluids or should I request the AISI 316 stainless steel version?

If your hydraulic system contains aggressive or corrosive fluids (chlorides, acids, saline mixtures or other chemically aggressive media), you should request the AISI 316 stainless steel version rather than the Carbon Steel Pressure Gauge Adapter FT 299. The standard Carbon Steel Pressure Gauge Adapter FT 299 is made from galvanized steel with NBR sealing and offers good durability and wear resistance for typical hydraulic oils and non-aggressive environments, but it may corrode or degrade faster when exposed to aggressive chemicals. The AISI 316 stainless steel option provides significantly better corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in chemically aggressive or highly corrosive environments, making it the safer choice for such applications. Also consider compatibility of the NBR seal with the specific fluid; for highly aggressive fluids you may need a different sealing material as well.

Is the Carbon Steel Pressure Gauge Adapter FT 299 compatible with systems operating above 100°C or should I request the AISI 316 stainless steel version for high-temperature applications?

The Carbon Steel Pressure Gauge Adapter FT 299 is specified to operate efficiently within a temperature range of -20°C to +100°C. For systems operating above 100°C you should request the AISI 316 stainless steel version for high-temperature applications, as the Carbon Steel FT 299 is not rated for temperatures exceeding +100°C.
