Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between pipes and tubes?
Pipes are typically used to transport fluids or gases, while tubes are often used in structural applications. Pipes have standardized sizes, while tubes can have varied dimensions.
What are Butt Weld Fittings?
Butt weld fittings are pipe fittings that are welded at their ends to connect pipes together. They ensure a smooth and seamless flow of liquids or gases.
How are round bars different from square bars?
Round bars are cylindrical in shape and provide better corrosion resistance due to fewer edges. Square bars, on the other hand, are more suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerances.
What are Flanges used for?
Flanges are used to connect pipes, valves, or pumps, providing an easy way to access and maintain systems. They also help in preventing leakage and ensure a secure connection.
How do Sheets, Plates, and Coils differ?
Sheets are thin, flat pieces of metal, while plates are thicker and heavier. Coils are continuous rolls of metal used in various manufacturing processes.
What are Forged Fittings?
Forged fittings are solid metal components shaped under high-pressure conditions. They are highly durable and are often used in critical applications.
How do you choose the right Pipe & Tube material?
The choice depends on factors like the intended use, the fluid or gas being transported, temperature, and corrosion resistance required. Common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloys.
Can Flanges be used with different pipe materials?
Yes, flanges are versatile and can be used with various pipe materials, as long as the flange material is compatible with the pipe material in terms of strength and corrosion resistance./p>
