2 ompany Information 1926 SSP ittings orp. is founded in leveland, Ohio, U.S.. SSP begins as a contract manufacturer of screw machine products in brass and carbon steel to general industry. 1940s World War II shifts the company s focus to production of fittings for tubing, pipe, and hose. ollowing the war, SSP s customers are able to satisfy their own requirements without relying on outside companies for production. SSP contracts. 1970s New ocus. By the early 1970s, SSP embarks on a market & manufacturing driven strategy of producing quality fittings from difficult-to-machine alloys. he performance requirements of customers utilizing these materials in industries as diverse as marine, defense, offshore oil, and aerospace, drive SSP to establish both conformance quality standards, and service levels, which are significantly ahead of general industry at the time. 1980s he Works. hings are really happening for SSP. he company establishes a product line and distribution channel for hydraulic fittings, which require significant investments in a new, state-of-the-art facility south of leveland. SSP builds a 165,000 sq. ft. facility to house our vertically-integrated Works, including, by now, tool & die design & production, custom closed-die forging, machining, finishing operations, assembly and test. With over 200 work centers, SSP s winsburg Works is among the largest single-site facilities in the entire industry. 1990s Market xpansion. In response to continued customer requests for alternative product offerings in the Instrumentation fitting and valve marketplace, strategic plans were developed to design, manufacture and distribute merican-manufactured, tube fittings and valves as direct alternatives to the registered trademark brands of Swagelok, Parker PI and oke yrolok. RI SSP introduces fully-validated design alternatives under brand names uolok,, riplok tube fittings; ruit pipe, weld, hose and adapter fittings; and lolok valves he New orce. SSP becomes the fastest-growing specialty fitting manufacturer in the United States selling through independent distributors. With an established, efficient US distribution network in place, SSP expands into global markets with additional fabricated products including tubular and hose assemblies. Significant continued investments allow SSP to renew our commitment to providing customers with best value through time-based competitive advantage, maximum objectivity in our product recommendations based on mastery over an ever-increasing range of fluid system fitting designs, and a commitment to integrity and honesty in our business relationships. 2 Swagelok is a registered trademark of the Swagelok o.

4 uolok Steel ube ittings MRILS SL uolok straight configuration tube fittings are machined from cold-finished bar stock in accordance with SM Shaped bodies are machined from close-grained steel forgings with material in accordance with SM -108 and SM PLIN & OIN uolok fittings are plated for corrosion resistance with zinc. Other chemically-inert platings may be utilized to assist installation. SIN uolok tube fittings are designed and manufactured to provide a reliable, leak-proof connection in instrumentation and process tubing systems. uolok tube fittings consist of four precision-machined components: 1) Body 2) ront errule 3) Back errule (316 SS) 4) Nut he double ferrule design, with the staged sequential swaging action of the ferrules during make-up, compensates for the variations in tubing materials, hardness, and thickness of the tube wall to provide leak-tight connections in an extensive range of applications. dditionally, in fulfillment of the design criteria, all uolok components are manufactured with stringent tolerances and superior surface finishes under rigorous quality control standards to assure the optimum performance of each component. OPRION hrough the critical interaction of precision-machined fitting components with the process tube, a leaktight seal is achieved. he simple geometric rotation of the uolok nut provides the axial thrust necessary to swage the ferrules to the outside diameter of the tube. o eliminate any potential stress on an existing system, the tube fittings have been designed to not transmit installation torque from the tube fitting to the tubing. uring the rotary movement of the nut, the internal surface of the nut meets with the rear surface of the back ferrule to axially move the back ferrule forward against the rear angle of the front ferrule. Simultaneously, the front ferrule is driven forward into the angular section of the fitting body where the desired lift to seal action of the front ferrule occurs. he back ferrule locks on the outside diameter of the tube to complete the sealing action and secure the tube within the fitting. he resulting engineered gap between the front and back ferrule is designed to help compensate for exposure to system variables such as vibration, pressure pulsation and thermal expansion/contraction. QULIY SSP's Quality System has been certified to conform to the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Standard. chievement of this prestigious status further confirms SSP's continuing commitment to quality which is reflected throughout the company in its personnel, policies, equipment, products and service. In addition, all uolok tube fittings are manufactured to the technical design specifications and rigid quality control standards of SSP. RI Statistical Process ontrol techniques are employed within the manufacturing process to supply timely, meaningful feedback to the production team. ontinual process monitoring and equipment control provide the necessary manufacturing quality for uolok instrumentation grade tube fittings. 4
