The Pipe Fittings and its Various Forms - Applications and Advantages

A Fitting/Fittings is used in pipe systems to connect straight pipe to adjust to various sizes and shapes
and for other needs such as regulating fluid flow. Piping is frequently used to explain the high-
performance (high-pressure, high-flow, high-temperature) conveyance of fluids in specialized
applications. Fittings (Various types) require money, time, materials and tools to install, and are an
important part of piping systems. Valves are generally fittings, but are normally discussed separately.

A Pipe Fittings can be of different types. Some of them are:

1. Elbows.

2. Swivel Unions.

3. Tee.

Elbows:

The Elbow is set in place between two lengths of pipe to permit a change in direction, normally 90 and
45 angle. 22.5 elbows are also accessible. Elbows are classified by design. The radius of the long-radius
elbow is 1.5 times the pipe diameter. In the short-radius elbow the radius equals to the pipe diameter.
The various angles in elbows like Ninety, Sixty, forty Five-degree are also available.

Unions:

The swivel unions are similar to the coupling that allows the convenient separation of pipes for
continuity.The union allows easy attachment and separation. It consists of three parts:

1.The nut.

2.The female end.

3.The male end.

When the female and male ends are joined, the nut seals the joint.
Tee:

The tee which is the most general/normal pipe fitting, is used to combine/attach or divide/separate the
fluid flow. It is obtainable/accessible with female thread sockets, solvent-weld sockets and a female-
threaded side outlet. Tees can attach pipes of various diameters or it can change the direction of the
pipe run. Tees are available in a variety of materials, sizes, finishes. Tees are used to transfer two-fluid
mixtures. The Sizes of the Tees may be equal or not equal. The Most common Tees are of the Equal
ones.

The Applications of Pipe Fittings:

1. It can be used in chemical reactors.

2. It can be used in Nuclear reactors.

3. It can be used in Shipbuilding.

4. In Workshops.

5. In Factory Sheds.

6. In Poultry Sheds.

7. In Warehouses.

8. In Commercial Buildings.

9. In Multi Storied Buildings.

The Advantages of Pipe Fittings:

1. It is of Hydraulic characteristic.

2. It act as a good Sealing.

3. It has good Service life and corrosion resistance.

4. It can be easily to use in the Laying and construction.

5. Re-usability feature.

6. Extremely durable.

7. It requires only little maintenance throughout the life.
