Introduction Pipe fittings are 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; connect different components such as couplings and stop the flows such as caps, fittings. As one of the biggest manufacturer of steel pipes and pipe [...]
What is a Flange? A steel flange (forged, cut from plate, or rolled) comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different applications. A flange is usually in the shape of a round disc and is used to connect two pipes together or to connect a pipe to a pressure vessel, valve, pump, [...]
Buttweld fittings (also know as welded pipe fittings) in carbon steel and stainless steel are the joining components that make possible the assembly of valves, pipes and equipment onto the piping system. Butt welded fittings compliment pipe flanges in any piping system and allows; Change direction of flow in a piping system Connect or joint [...]
Forged Pipe Fittings (Socket Weld and Threaded) are made in accordance to ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) B16.11, MSS-SP-79\ 83\ 95\97 and BS3799 standards, and are used to connect nominal bore schedule pipes and pipelines. Commonly, the forged pipe fittings include: socket weld pipe fittings and threaded pipe fittings. These forged pipe fittings, are [...]
Pipe Fittings and Flanges are used to connect pipes together and are available with many pressure ratings and grades suitable for various types of service conditions. Pipe Fittings and Flanges are either connected with stud bolts, machine bolts, by threading or buy welding the fitting or flange to a pipe, valve or piece of equipment. [...]
Introduction to Olets Olet fittings (also known as branch connections or pipe branch outlet fittings)are a family of forged products used to make 45 or 90 degrees integrally reinforced branch connections (deviations) from a run pipe (also called, header pipe) to a branch pipe (outlet pipe). MSS-SP 97 is the key specification covering reinforced branch [...]
Hydrostatic Test Hydrostatic Test or hydro test is not required for pipe fittings unless specifically requested by the purchaser. Code mandate that fittings shall be able to withstand under pressure required by applicable Piping Code. A hydrostatic test is a pressure test in which the pipe or other component is pressurized to evaluate its integrity. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
