Introduction to Pipe Fittings Pipe Fittings are an important piping component that helps in changing the direction of the flow such as elbows, tees, changes the size of the pipe such as reducers, reducing tees, distribute the water supply from the main pipe to other pipes of equal size or lower size, etc. connect different [...]
Introduction A flange is an external or internal ridge, or rim (lip), for strength, as the flange of an iron beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam; or for attachment to another object, as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc., or for a flange of a rail car or tram wheel. Thus flanged wheels are wheels with a flange on one side to keep [...]
Introduction And Difference Between Seamless and Welded Pipes Seamless Steel Pipe is made from a solid round steel ‘billet’ which is heated and pushed or pulled over a form until the steel is shaped into a hollow tube. Seamless pipes are manufactured in a variety of size and schedule. However, there is a restriction on [...]
Introduction Pipes are usually produced by two distinct methods which result in either a welded pipe or a seamless pipe. In both methods, raw material is first cast into ingots. It is then made into a pipe by stretching the steel out into a seamless tube or forcing the edges together and sealing them with [...]

Carbon steel is steel with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states: Steel is considered to be carbon steel when: no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element [...]
Difference Between Socket Weld and Butt Weld There are various connecting types for the Pipe Flanges, fittings and valves: socket weld, butt weld, threaded and so on. Two of them to be quite popular: socket welding and butt welding. However, you might be confused about which one would be best for your construction projects, since both [...]
What is Stainless Steel? Stainless steel is the generic name for a number of different steels used primarily for their resistance to corrosion. Stainless steels are produced by adding at least 11% chromium to steel to produce a thin passive protective layer of Cr2Q3, which promotes corrosion resistance. This is improved by further increasing the chromium [...]
Material selection is one of the most crucial decisions made in the design, manufacture, and application of large structural components. Material selection naturally influences the entire performance of the design, and thus it is critical that informed decisions are made during the design stage. Steel castings and steel forgings are two alternatives for large structural [...]
What is a Pipe: - The pipe is pressure tight circular hollow section that used in piping systems to transport gases or fluids. Steel Pipe with Large Diameter What is a Tube: - Over the internet, you will find that tube is a circular structural member and the confusion start from here. In [...]
