Steel Pipe Couplings Types
For carbon steel pipe coupling the material standard is astm a105 manufacturing standard asme b16 11.
Steel pipe couplings types. Connect different components such as couplings and stop the flows such as caps. Stainless steel pipe coupling. Fabricated steel pipe coupling for pipe sizes 12 inch and larger. What is pipe fittings.
Pipe couplings connect two pipes or tubes together of equal or differing sizes in which case a reducing coupler or adapter must be used. Also known as ground joint couplings and boss couplings these fittings are designed for high pressure steam applications up to 600 psi. In stock and ready to ship. Insert the barbed end of the fitting into hose then position the interlocking clamp over the hose and bolt into place.
It s also used to repair a broken or leaking pipe along with a normal coupling two other types are the compression coupling and slip coupling. A butt weld pipe fitting is a type of pipe fitting which is designed to be welded on site to connect pipes together. Nominal sizes 12 96 inches larger sizes available upon request. A coupling makes it easy to connect two pipes that have the same diameter and are the same type.
Welding of a buttweld pipe fitting to pipes or other fittings is generally done to allow change in direction of the piping system. Choose from our selection of steel pipe couplings including over 5 500 products in a wide range of styles and sizes. Changes the size of the pipe such as reducers reducing tees. The compression fitting is connected between two pipes via rubber seals or gaskets on both sides which prevents leaking.
Buttweld fittings are generally identified or inquired in nominal pipe sizes with specified pipe schedule. Pipe coupling pipe fitting material 316 stainless steel pipe size pipe fitting 2 1 2 in gasket material nitrile fitting length 3 45 64 in number of bolts 2 max. Pressure 232 psi bolt material 316 stainless steel bolt size 73mm hex temp. Pipe couplings are often used to facilitate a change in direction.
There are different types of pipe fitting used in piping. Working pressure see product submittal. Pipe compatibility steel cast iron asbestos cement plastic and other types of pipe. There are many different types of pipes and some require special technology to ensure the best fixation and prevent leakage possible.
There are also casing and tubing coupling material in carbon steel referred api 5ct j55 k55 n80 p110 etc. For stainless steel coupling material standard is astm a182 grades in. The engineers at mpc love to work on new solutions where pipe couplings can be the answer.
