- SEAMLESS VS WELDED BW FITTINGSSEAMLESS VS WELDED BW FITTINGS Butt weld fittings are available in seamless and welded execution (seamless for bore sizes below 24 inches, welded for sizes above 24 inches). Seamless buttweld fittings have no seam welds and are therefore considered superior to welded BW fittings (a weld is always aProduct knowledge January 26, 2022
- PIPELINE SYSTEMSPipe selection and wall thicknessSteel pipe is required in the majority of oil and gas production and pipeline applications. ASME A53 and A106 and API 5L seamless, electric resistance welding (ERW), and submerged arc welding (SAW) steel pipe are commercially available and most commonly used in pipeProduct knowledge November 26, 2021
- Application of Welded PipesWelded pipes have low production costs, common raw materials, short production cycles, and can be manufactured into different lengths according to requirements, so they are used in large quantities.Welded steel pipes are widely used in many fields because of low cost and high efficiency.Product knowledge December 02, 2021
- BUTTWELD ELBOW 45/90/180 DEG.BUTTWELD ELBOW 45/90/180 DEG.ASME B16.9 buttweld elbows are manufactured in a wide range of dimensions (combinations of outside diameter and wall thickness) to fit ASME B36.10 and ASME B36.19 carbon, alloy and stainless steel pipes of any size between 2 and 48 inches (and above).Buttweld elbows beloProduct knowledge December 08, 2021
- STEEL PIPESSteel PipeA curved steel pipe supplied with a discharge-regulating device to direct the jet onto the buckets in impulse runners.Product knowledge November 19, 2021
- PIPE BENDSPIPE BENDSA pipe bend is a generic term to indicate a fittings that changes the direction of the piping system (technically, elbows are pipe bends too but of a standardized type in terms of angle degree and direction). The term “pipe bend” refers to a fitting that offsets the direction of the pipe wProduct knowledge December 29, 2021
- BUTTWELD TEEBUTTWELD TEEEQUAL TEEAn equal tee, otherwise called straight tee, is a buttweld fitting used to branch a pipeline, or any other pipework, at 90 degrees. Equal tee asme b36.19A pipe tee is defined “equal” when the bore size at the run and branch sides have the same diameter. An equal tee is, thereforProduct knowledge January 05, 2022
- HEAT TREATMENT OF PIPESHeat treatment is used to avoid or alleviate the detrimental effects of high temperatures, which are unavoidable during the welding process. The heat treatment required and the recommended temperatures and holding times vary among metals. They are specified in ASME B31.3, Table 331.1.1, RequirementsProduct knowledge February 18, 2022
- Gas Transport in Underground Coal MinesPipeline MaterialMild steel pipes and casing (externally flush) were commonly used since 1940s. They suffer from many drawbacks. Some of them are listed below:1.Very heavy in large sizes (above 5″ in diameter) and liable to hurt workers.2.Must be on floor and prone to get damaged by both floor heaviProduct knowledge January 07, 2022
- Firewater Distribution SystemWhen installing a firewater system, consideration should be given to the materials of construction and to the overall layout.Materials of constructionSteel pipe should be used aboveground for firewater lines. Underground piping systems can be constructed of steel, cement-lined steel, or high-densityProduct knowledge February 11, 2022
