- Forged fittings vs. Buttweld FittingsForged fittings are used for piping systems below 2 or 4 inches in diameter (4″ for 2000#/3000# fittings, 2″ for 6000#/9000# fittings), whereas buttweld fittings are used for larger diameter piping.The two main types of forged fittings are the so-called socket weld fittings (which are connected toProduct knowledge September 22, 2021
- CORRUGATED SHEETSCorrugated panels are manufactured through a cold-form process where they are pressed and then roll formed to create the desired corrugated shape. The corrugations within the steel increase the overall tensile strength, making it resistant to increased impact and weight loads. The steel’s corrugatedProduct knowledge September 06, 2021
- Piping Material SelectionDesign ValuesAllowable stresses for the materials specifications contained in the piping class have been established in line with ANSI/ASME B31.3, Paragraph 302.3.For API 5L Grade B, a distinction has been made between seamless pipe and welded pipe with a weld joint factor E=0.95 (in accordance withProduct knowledge September 03, 2021
- STEEL ANGLESAngle is a shape with two flat surfaces that are perpendicular and provide good resistance to bending in any direction.Angles are one of the most common structural steel shapes and are widely used in structures and construction.They are available both as “equal angles” where both legs are the same sProduct knowledge September 13, 2021
- FORGED STEEL FITTINGSForged steel fittings are the fittings made by forged steel. The process of manufacturing forged steel fittings include: cutting and heating billets, put pressure on heated billets under dies into desired shape, trimming and shot blasting. Then machine forged blank fittings for net shape and dimensiProduct knowledge September 15, 2021

- Welded Steel PipeWelded steel pipe is widely used in many industries due to its low production cost, high production efficiency, varieties of specifications and stypes, simple production process.Product knowledge November 25, 2021
- BUTTWELD REDUCERSBUTTWELD REDUCERSCONCENTRIC REDUCERThe open ends of a concentric reducer are aligned and centered one to the other. Generally, this type of pipe reducer is used to modify the bore size of the pipeline by two (maximum three) measures, to avoid an excessive pressure drop in the pipeline.If a larger reProduct knowledge January 12, 2022
- SHORT VS LONG RADIUS ELBOWSHORT 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 faProduct knowledge December 15, 2021
