The components used to create the pipeline network are called pipe fittings. Such as- socket, T-joint, Flange, Union socket, Elbow, Bend, etc. #Flange ;- The flange is a metal disc that has a borehole in the center, to hold a pipe and it has at least four boltholes around the borehole. It is used to attach two pipes by welding, brazing or tread at the ends of the pipe. #Socket ;- Inside the sockets are internally threaded, which is used for joint two pipelines straightly.  Reducing socket is used if two pipelines diameter is different. #Union Socket ;- Union socket is used to like a socket. Two pipelines are used to attach straight to the long pipeline network, they facilitate during maintenance work. Therefore, union socket is sometimes installed in pipeline fabrication instead of a socket. #Reducer ;- Reducers are used to connect two different diameters of pipes to reduce fluid mass.   Two types of reducers are;-    01.
