They are widely used on onshore and offshore platforms to transfer oil, gas, cement, water, air and many other fluids. The term “hammer union” comes from the fact that the coupling is usually assembled by lightly striking it with a hammer to ensure a secure, tight connection. It consists of two main parts: a male and a female, both fitted with external threads that allow them to be screwed together. They are available in a variety of sizes and materials to suit different application requirements and operating conditions. They ensure perfect sealing at high pressures and allow quick and immediate disconnection. They are also compatible with WECO unions.
1. Figura 100: This type of hammer union is generally used for low-pressure applications. It is characterized by a compact and lightweight size and is suitable for discharge services, air, mud, etc.
compact and lightweight and is suitable for discharge services, air, mud, etc.
2. Figura 200: This type is similar to Figure 100, but is designed for medium-pressure applications.
3. Figura 300: Hammer unions in this category are designed for high-pressure applications.
They can be used in drilling operations, well completion and the transport of high-pressure fluids.
4. Figura 400: This type is similar to Figure 300, but is designed for even higher pressures.
5. Figura 500: This type of hammer union is designed for extremely low or extreme temperature applications, such as those found in the offshore industry or in freezing environments.
6. Figura 602: This category of hammer union is designed for high-pressure applications and features a metal-to-metal sealing design.
In addition to these basic types, there may be variants and specific adaptations to meet the particular needs of different industries or applications. For example, there are hammer unions with special features for offshore applications or high corrosion-resistance hammer unions for aggressive environments.
