Showing posts with the label pipe network.

Let's know about general pipe fittings commonly needed in the industry.

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.
