Type of Pipe fitting

Pipe fitting is work that involves the installation or repair of pipes or tubes. Pipes and tubes are necessary for a wide range of reasons.

Ranges from usage and functions, butt weld fittings include elbow, tee, reducer, cap, and lap joint stub end.

Ranges from material types include carbon steel butt weld fittings, alloy, and stainless steel butt weld fittings.

The butt weld elbow is designed to change the direction of the fluid in the piping system. It has a long radius (LR) and a short radius (SR) type and has different degrees covers to 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees. Buttweld elbow is a steel elbow formed by hot pressing or forging. Its connection form is to directly weld the elbow and steel pipe. Butt-welded elbows are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature than other connection types (socket welded elbow or threaded pipe elbow).

Butt weld tee

The butt weld tee (equal tee and reducing tee) has a 90-degree branch and a straight line pipe that will provide a connection to install another device for the pipeline systems. Buttweld tee is widely used in petroleum, aerospace pharmacy, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, military industry, engineering support, and other industrial pipelines.

Buttweld reducer tee

The same structure of the T shape, but the size of the 90-degree branch is smaller than the diameter of the straight-line pipe. Therefore to install a smaller size pipe or fittings. The branch diameter is smaller than the main diameter. The reducing tee is usually described as NPS diameters

Buttweld equal tee

Equal tee: Three branches of tee have the same diameters. Also named as Straight Tee.

Buttweld reducer is a component used in the pipelines to reduce its size from large to small-bore in accordance with the inner diameter. The length of the reduction here is equal to an average of the smaller and larger pipe diameters. Here, the reducer can be used as a diffuser or a nozzle. The reducer helps in meeting the existing piping of varied sizes or hydraulic flow of the piping systems. It has two types: Concentric and Eccentric Reducer.

Concentric Reducer

This reducer consists of the symmetrical and conical shaped fittings that enlarge or reduce the diameter equally about the centerline. For example, when 1” pipe transitions to ¾” pipe, then the top or bottom of the pipe do not remain level. It is widely used when single or multiple diameter changes.

Eccentric Reducer

A conically shaped fitting that reduces or enlarges the diameter, but it is not symmetrical about the centerline. This is used in pipe-work systems for reducing the diameter of a pipe from one size to larger or small size.

Butt Weld Cap

ButtWeld Pipe End Caps are usually welded to the pipe end or mounted on the external thread of the pipe end to cover the pipe fittings. To close the pipeline so the function is the same as the pipe plug.

Butt Weld Coupling

A coupling is a device used to joint two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. A coupling can also be a mechanical device that serves to connect the ends of adjacent parts or objects. Coupling are divided into two main types

Full Coupling: Joint two pipe or joint pipe to a nipple.

Half Coupling: Joint one end another end will be welded directly to the run pipe.

Butt Weld Nipple

The nipple is a short piece of pipe usually with threads in both ends, for connecting of two other fittings. The length of the nipple generally is specified by the overall length with threads part. Also, it may have a hexagonal section in the center for a wrench to grasp (we call hex nipple), or it may simply be made from a piece of pipe

Butt Weld Stub Ends

Lap joint stub end is a fitting that is used to replace welded flanges when the support of a rotating backup flange is required. And it can be supplied in standard and non-standard ANSI dimension that is used for connecting pipes of different diameter.

Barred Tee

Image
A barred tee is a tee or any fitting with a branch used in pipelines that is pigged and has a restriction bar welded internally preventing the pig from traveling down a branch connection. Barred tee is a pipe fitting that is used in a pig launcher or receiver system in a piping system to ensure the pig could pass the branch safely. Design considerations for barred tee The barred tee will be used when there is a requirement for pigging. Thus, many of its applications can be found in the pipeline or in the subsea field. The bar plates that welded internally at the branch are to avoid the pig from changing direction or getting stuck at the branch outlet. The design of the bar plates must be in sufficient quantity, thickness and adequately spaced to ensure the smoothness for the pig to run through the main pipe, and at the same time not affecting the flow that was meant to flow through the branch. Normal practice is to ensure that the opening in the branch pipeline after gui...

How to Calculate a Pipe Bend?

Image
Pipe fittings are necessary to join together pipes, or to change the direction of an existing pipe. Pipes and pipe fittings are made of a variety of materials, depending on the fluid or gas being transported. Most pipe fittings tend to be either threaded or able to slip over the pipes they connect. Whether you are using steel pipes of PVC pipes, a chemical solvent is required to create a seal between the pipe and the fittings. Measure the required length of the pipe to be installed, keeping in mind the extra length required where the pipe will be inserted into the fitting. Mark this length on the pipe. How to Calculate a Pipe Bend Whether you are bending pipe for running electrical conduit or a metal project, calculating the bend for the start and end point can be an important factor. While there are different types of pipe benders on the market, they all share a common identification for the operation. Identified on all pipe benders is the size of pipe the unit will bend alon...

ANSI Flange Standards

Image
The American National Standard Institute, ANSI, has been overseeing guidelines and standards for products manufactured through several sectors. WHAT IS ANSI? ANSI-approved flanges are used for the industrial market which handles gas, air and steam process systems. Originally formed in 1918, the American National Standards Institute is headquartered in Washington, DC, and is widely recognized as the American organization responsible for overseeing the national standards and conformity assessment system for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel. ANSI works domestically with American government agencies and organizations, as well as with international entities, to make ANSI standards useful around the world. Prior to the creation of ANSI, standards for engineering and equipment such as flanges were developed by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE or IEEE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Institute of Mi...
