- 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
- EXPANSION RUBBER JOINTSRubber 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.Product knowledge November 10, 2021
- PIPE CAPPIPE 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 confProduct knowledge January 19, 2022
