There have many kinds of pipe fittings in the market, it has some difficulty for us to select the pipe fitting which can fits our demand well. As a pipe fitting manufacturer, we hope we can refer you some help for you by this article.
The kinds of pipe fittings and the specific application they can be use
Elbows:
These elements can change the direct of the pipeline easily, the common degree of them is 90 degree and 45 degree. Of course, they have other Degree of curvature to cater the specific demands.
As for its applications, it can play an important role in every industry which need pipeline, because there has not industry whose pipeline system all is the straight line.
Reducers:
In many places, we need to connect the different sizes pipe together, then the reducers can give our help. There have two forms of it, one of it is concentric reducers, this kind of reducers can make the pipes maintain a straight centerline, the other kind of reduces is eccentric reducers, this kind of reducers will make the pipes have one side off-center.
Bushings:
This pipe fitting can also connect the different sizes pipe together, but it has some differences with the reducers. It has male threads on one end and female threads on the other end, but the reducers’ surface is smooth. While they can reduce the size of the opening in a pipe fitting, they do not suit the frequent disassemble and reassemble. The reducer can suit the disassemble and reassemble well.
Couplings:
Different with the reducers, the couplings used to connect two pipes of the same diameter together. In the straight runs of pipe, we can use it usually. They also have many types, such as the regular couplings, slip couplings, and compression couplings.
Flanges:
Flanges are flat, circular discs with bolt holes around the perimeter. They are used to connect pipes, valves, and other equipment to form a piping system. We can weld or bolt it on the pipe to make it provides a secure connection for pipes.
4 Way Pipe Fitting:
This pipe fitting has another name: cross fitting. It can be seen from its name that the fitting has four openings for pipes to be inserted. We can use it in plumbing systems where pipes need to intersect or diverge in multiple directions. And if you need facilitates complex pipe networks, you can choose them to help you. The 4 way pipe fitting has various materials to choose, we can choose the suitable one for us.
These are just a few examples of pipe fittings; each pipe fitting serves specific purposes in piping systems. we must choose it by the application, the pressure and temperature requirements and the layout of the piping system.
