Industrial plumbing fittings refer to various parts used in pipeline systems, including but not limited to pipe fittings, valves, flanges, joints, brackets, etc. These fittings play an important role in industrial pipeline systems.
Industrial plumbing fittings role
1. Connection role: Industrial plumbing fittings can make connections between different pipe segments to ensure the integrity of the piping system. For example, fittings such as flanges, fittings and couplings are used to connect pipes to each other to ensure the smooth connection of the piping system.
2. Control role: Control pipeline fittings such as valves can control the flow rate, pressure and other parameters of the medium in the pipeline to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline system. For example, fittings such as elbows and tees are used to change the direction of the pipe or increase the branch of the pipeline, while valves are used to control the flow of fluids.
3. Protection role: Flanges, seals and other protective pipeline fittings can protect the pipeline system from erosion and damage from the external environment. These fittings help to enhance the durability and safety of the pipeline system.
Differences in materials of commonly used Industrial plumbing fittings
Common plastic pipe fittings are made of PP, PVC, and PE. The main differences are their materials, uses, and characteristics.
Material
PP (polypropylene), PP is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic translucent solid material. PP fittings are made of polypropylene (PP) material, which has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride): PVC fittings are made of polyvinyl chloride resin, which has good corrosion resistance and low cost, but poor heat resistance.
PE (polyethylene): PE fittings are made of polyethylene material, which has good flexibility and low temperature resistance, and also has certain corrosion resistance.
Use
PP pipe fittings are usually used for building water supply and household water supply pipe systems.
PVC pipe fittings are widely used in residential life, industrial and mining, agricultural water supply and drainage, irrigation and other systems.
PE pipe fittings are mostly used in municipal water supply and drainage pipeline systems. Due to their good flexibility and low temperature resistance, they are suitable for use in various environments.
Features
PP pipe fittings have good high temperature resistance and high strength, and are suitable for hot water pipeline systems.
Although PVC pipe fittings have good corrosion resistance and low cost, they are brittle in low temperature environments, which limits their use in some applications.
PE pipe fittings are known for their light weight, good toughness and low temperature resistance, and are suitable for pipeline systems under various environmental conditions.
PP, PVC, and PE pipe fittings each have their own unique advantages and applicable scenarios. The selection should be based on the specific use environment and needs.
