What is flange standard EN 1092-1? EN 1092-1 is an European Standard for flanges and their associated pressure/temperature ratings, materials of construction, tolerances and dimensions. It covers a range of flanges up to DN3000 and pressure ratings up to PN400. The standard is widely used for flanges in many industries, including the petrochemical and power…
4500 words Long Radius Elbows and Short Radius Elbows are two types of pipe fittings used for connecting two pipes or tubes of different diameters. They are most commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Long Radius Elbows: Long radius elbows are pipe fittings that have an elbow radius that is 1.5 times…
A333 and A335 are two different grades of alloy steel pipe elbows. Each grade has its own unique characteristics, applications, and uses. A333 is a low-temperature steel alloy, meaning it has a higher degree of ductility and is better suited for lower temperature applications. It is commonly used in the production of elbows for low-temperature…
What harm does h2s do? How should pipe fittings be treated to resist damage from h2s? H2S is a colorless, flammable gas that is produced by the breakdown of organic materials and is a by-product of the industrial production of many materials. It is also a naturally occurring gas, found in areas like sewers, landfills,…
Butt welding pipe fitting is a type of pipe fitting used for connecting two pipes of different sizes, materials, or configurations. It is one of the most common types of pipe fitting and can be used for all types of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial. Butt welding is a type of welding process…
Long-necked butt welding flanges are common dedicated connections used in industries such as energy, petroleum and petrochemicals. They are commonly found in complex piping systems that serve multi-storey buildings and refineries. But why are they considered the perfect pressure vessel connection for these piping systems? Here are some of the reasons: Example of a long…
