SHORT VS LONG RADIUS ELBOWThe center to face distance of a long radius pipe elbow is always 1.5 times the nominal pipe size, whereas, for a short radius pipe elbow, the center to face distance is equal to the nominal pipe size.Example:For a 4 inches long radius (LR) butt weld elbow, the center to fa

Rubber expansion joints are engineered rubber products that are inserted in rigid piping systems to absorb movements, improve thermal stability and compensate for misalignment. Their performance is crucial for the safety and reliability of the entire system.

PIPE CAPA buttweld pipe cap is used to blind or isolate the pipeline, permanently or temporarily (for example during the execution of maintenance and reparation works).Buttweld pipe caps are manufactured using steel plates for most sizes and materials. The shape of a pipe cap is ellipsoidal and conf

Methods of Heating

Buttweld fittings are pipe fittings used to change the pathway of a pipeline (elbows), reduce/increase the pipe bore size (reducers), branch (tees, cross) or blind a pipeline (butt weld cap). ASME B16.9 (and MSS-SP 43) Buttweld fittings are used for piping systems above 2 inches in diameter, whereas

Stainless steel flanges are pipe fittings with stainless steel as the main material, which have good corrosion resistance, strong rigidity and not easy to wear. Therefore, it is widely used in chemical, petroleum, construction, shipbuilding, medicine, food manufacturing and other industries. In orde
