This article tells you what pipe fittings include
Table of contents
Pipe fittings are made of different materials and are used to connect, convert and distribute various pipeline systems.
They can be seen in industrial production and civil construction.
They are an important part of the pipeline system and are mainly used to connect pipelines, making the pipeline project reliable, stable and strong, and providing a better user experience.
Types of pipe fittings
According to the different forms of pipe fittings, they can be divided into flat head pipe fittings, curved head pipe fittings, threaded pipe fittings and sealed pipe fittings.
Flat-end pipe fittings
Flat head pipe fittings are the most common pipe fittings.
They are mainly composed of two arc-shaped heads. This type of pipe fittings includes direct joints, tee joints, cross joints, etc. They are often used to cast pipe fittings.
They are the most commonly used of the four types of pipe fittings mentioned above. They are mainly used to cast various pipe fittings required for pipeline connections.
Curved-end pipe fittings
Curved pipe fittings are pipe fittings that convert the pipe connection point from a right-angle head to a curved head, so that the gravity design of the elbow pipe fitting can be realized.
The biggest advantage of curved pipe fittings is that they can maintain the strength of the pipe fittings while shortening the pipeline. They also have the function of preventing pollution.
Curved pipe fittings are mainly suitable for pipeline connections in the chemical, petroleum, electric power, steam and other industries.
Threaded pipe fittings
Threaded pipe fittings refer to pipe fittings that are connected in the form of threads at both ends, so that the pipe fittings can be connected to another pipe fitting or to a pipe.
There are threaded joints, spiral pipe joints and roll welded joints.
Many pipe fittings can be customized according to actual needs, making the pipe fittings more flexible during installation and can act as fasteners, thereby achieving better use results.
Sealed pipe fittings
Sealing pipe fittings refer to a special kind of sealing part used to complete the connection of pipe fittings.
It can achieve sealing and tightening of the pipe joints, which is more conducive to the water density and air density of the pipe fittings, so that the pipe fittings can prevent contamination from silt and impurities in the water source.
There are many types of sealing pipe fittings, such as steel wire pipe fittings, rubber pipe fittings and plastic pipe fittings. Different materials are selected according to actual needs to achieve better results.
Processing of pipe fittings
Pipe fittings are closed parts characterized by holes. There are many processing methods, among which the most commonly used is precision machining, which is a kind of precision machining used to process various metal pipe fittings.
According to the different materials and sizes of pipe fittings, various precision machining processes can be selected, such as milling, stamping, turning, threading, etc., to make the quality of pipe fittings more stable and the appearance more beautiful, which can meet the user’s requirements for pipe fittings.
Assembly of pipe fittings
The assembly of pipe fittings is also very important. The assembly of pipe fittings requires high precision and strong firmness to ensure that the pipe fittings can be firmly connected together without affecting the flow of the pipeline.
The installation of pipe fittings is generally achieved by mechanical means. There are loose nut mode and clamp mode.
Different types of assembly can be performed according to customer needs. At the same time, it can also be installed.
