9/16” Autoclave Fittings and Ports

DescriptionThe 9/16” Autoclave cone type fittings and ports are the industry standard for high pressure applications. Cameron hasadopted the 9/16” Autoclave fitting and port combination on all Cameron wellhead products where test ports are utilized.The Autoclave fitting, preferred by Cameron, contains a plug and gland nut combination, which allows any residual pres-sure to be vented safely prior to removal of the fitting.

• Dependability — The Autoclavedesign is an industry standard for itsquality and dependability.

• Pressure — The 9/16” Autoclavecone type fitting and port are ratedto 60,000 psi @ 72° F under normalservice conditions. (Series CC-SS20)

• Operation — standard operatingprocedure:

a) Standing to the side of the fitting,use a 1-1/8”, six point, box endwrench, as not to round off the cor-ners of the gland nut.

b) Turn the gland nut to the left, coun-terclockwise. This will allow any re-sidual pressure, in field conditions,to vent through the fitting plug to theatmosphere.

c) Once all pressure has been vented,the fitting may be removed and anynecessary operation preformedthrough the port.

d) Examine the plug and gland nutprior to reinstallation and replace ifevidence of wear is present.
