Butt weld fittings play a vital role in piping systems.FEITING Group, as a professional supplier of butt weld fittings, provides butt weld fittings in a wide range of sizes and materials to meet the needs of different industries. This article will introduce several common types of butt weld fittings, including elbows, tees, reducers and caps, to help you better understand the characteristics and applications of these critical components.
1. Elbows (Elbow)
An elbow is a type of butt weld fittings used to change the flow direction of a pipe. Depending on the angle, there are three common types of elbows: 45°, 90° and 180°. In addition, according to the different bending radius can be divided into long radius elbow and short radius elbow.
- Long Radius Elbow (Long Radius Elbow, LR): Its bending radius is 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipeline, the fluid flow is smoother, reducing pressure loss, suitable for occasions where the fluid resistance requirements are low.
- Short Radius Elbow (Short Radius Elbow, SR): the bending radius is 1 times the outside diameter of the pipeline, suitable for space-constrained occasions.
Elbows produced by FEITING Group are widely used in oil, gas, chemical and power industries, providing excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
2. Tee (Tee)
Tee is a kind of butt weld fittings (butt weld fittings) used to divert or merge fluids. It can be divided into equal diameter tee and reducer tee.
- Equal Tee (Equal Tee): the diameter of the three ports is the same, applicable to the main branch pipe flow balance of the piping system.
- Reducing Tee: the diameter of the branch pipe is smaller than the diameter of the main pipe, used for pipelines with smaller branch pipe flow.
Reducing tees are widely used in oil, gas and chemical industries, etc. FEITING Group's tees are made of high quality materials, which can withstand high temperature and high pressure environments to ensure the safe operation of piping systems.
3. Reducer
Reducers are used to connect pipes of different diameters in order to adjust fluid flow. Common types of reducers include concentric and eccentric reducers.
- Concentric Reducer: Used for axially aligned pipe connections, suitable for gas or vertically flowing liquid pipes.
- Eccentric Reducer: for horizontal pipework to avoid liquid build-up, often used in pump inlet pipework.
FEITING Group's reducers are highly accurate, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for a variety of industrial piping systems to ensure the stability of fluid transport.
4. Pipe Cap
Pipe cap is used to close the end of the pipe to prevent fluid leakage or external contamination. It is commonly used for pressure vessels, pipe blocking, or temporary pipe closure.
Common materials for caps include carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel. FEITING Group offers a wide range of caps to ensure a tight seal in piping systems.
