- 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

- BUTTWELD FITTINGS IN PIPINGButtweld 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, whereasProduct knowledge December 01, 2021
- Precautions for Welding Stainless Steel FlangesStainless 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 ordeProduct knowledge November 11, 2021
- PIPE ELBOW MANUFACTURING PROCESSPIPE ELBOW MANUFACTURING PROCESSButtweld elbows 45 and 90 degrees can be manufactured in different ways, the main ones are the “mandrel process” and the “cold forming” (other methods are the elliptical forming and the double-seam welding method).Mandrel ProcessCold formingProduct knowledge December 22, 2021
