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.

The different exterior the pipe fittings

The pipe fittings not only have different categories; they also have different exteriors because the different material they used.

Galvanized Pipe Fittings:

This pipe fitting is made by the material of steel coated with a layer of zinc which can prevent corrosion. For this advantage, it can fit water distribution systems and outdoor plumbing applications which always in the high-moisture environments.

Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings:

This pipe fittings can offer excellent corrosion resistance to us. Because the excellent ability of corrosion resistance, they are ideal for applications where hygiene and durability are essential. Such as the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Brass Pipe Fittings:

Brass pipe fittings offer good corrosion resistance and are commonly used in plumbing systems, particularly for water supply lines and pneumatic applications.

Bronze Pipe Fittings:

They are known for their excellent corrosion resistance. We can pay our attention on the bronze pipe fittings, if we need these pipe fittings suit the marine and underwater environment.

Black Pipe Fittings:

Black pipe fittings are made of malleable iron or steel which are coated with black iron oxide. This layer of black iron oxide can increase the corrosion resistance ability of these pipe fittings. For its beautiful and smooth surface, they can be a decoration in the pipe systems. Of course, it not only has the beautiful appearance, it also has high corrosion resistance ability, we can choose it without worry.

There just some tough introduce of some common pipe fittings, but I think after you read this article, you already have a general understanding of the above pipe products. If you want more, you can also read other news in our company, and you may find there have others news which introduce the specific pipe fitting you want surprisingly.
