Erie, PA – June 6, 2023 – Graco High Pressure Equipment Company (HiP) has released a white paper detailing the proven benefits cone and thread connections offer for hydrogen handling and refueling applications. A significant focus of the paper underlines the importance of maintaining stable performance to meet the stringent high-pressure requirements of handling systems.

Long proven to be more than a novel flash-in-the-pan sealing solution, the metal-to-metal cone and thread connection type relies on mechanical threading that is successful at high pressure and extreme temperature ranges. The genius of the cone and thread connections, which has led to widespread adoption across various markets including oil and gas, is the fine-tuned simplicity that requires fewer components while maximizing seal performance.
