To connect straight pipe or tube sections pipe fittings plays an important role. These fittings are also used for regulating fluid flow. It is main part of piping & tubing system. Buttweld Fittings is one of the pipe fittings that are used in piping & tubing system more often. Based on the butt welding technique for which pipes are attached, it obtained its name as Buttweld Fittings. This connection is strongest and smoothest than socket weld & threaded connections.

Buttweld fittings is most used and liked fittings for critical applications. It is commonly used in transporting fluids such as oil, gas steam, chemical etc. over small & long distances. Don’t be confused between Buttweld fittings and Buttweld. In Buttweld fittings both the pipes are connected by bolting together whereas in Buttweld pipes are connect by welding. Buttweld Fittings are available in multiple shapes, multiple grades and dimensions.

Types of Buttweld Fittings:

1) Buttweld Elbow 45/90/180 Degree

45^o/90^o/180^o elbows are the most commonly used types of elbows. Small buttweld elbows are produced by heating, cutting and bending the seamless pipes. By using welded pipes or steel plates larger buttweld elbows are produced.

Two special types of pipe elbows are:

1) Reducing Elbow: It is used to connect when inlet & outlet pipes are in different bore sizes

2) Meter Elbow: It is pipe has right-angled bend and flow rate can be measured by using gauge.

2) Buttweld Tee

1) Equal Tee: This buttweld fitting used to connect the branch pipeline or at 90 degree. This tee has same bore diameter at both run side and branch sides that why it called as an equal tee.  

2) Reducing Tee: It is also used for branch pipeline or line at 90 degree. In reducing Tee bore size at branch sides is smaller than the run side.

3) Unequal Tee: A pipe connector used to connect branch pipeline or at 90 degree. This tee called unequal tee because bore size at run and branch sides have different diameters.

3) Buttweld Cross

Buttweld Cross fittings mainly preferred when pipelines should be connected in branch at 90 degrees.  

There are two different types of buttweld cross depend on their bore sizes:

1) Equal Cross

2) Reducing Cross

4) Buttweld Reducer

1) Concentric Reducer: Both the end of concentric reducer is centrally aligned with each other. These are used to modify the bore size of the pipeline by two measures to avoid excessive pressure drop in pipeline.

2) Eccentric Reducer: In eccentric reducer, both ends are in an offset position each other. Application of this is Horizontal Pipelines.

5) Pipe Cap

It is used to stop the flow or blind the pipeline, permanently or temporarily (during maintenance and reparation works). Buttweld pipe caps are available in all sizes & shapes.

6) Stub Ends

It is a short length pipe, which has one end that is flared outwards and other end prepared to be weld pipe of the same diameter.

Fittings are used to make the connection between two sections of pipe in the piping system. Whether sections have different or same bore diameter, a particular angle and much more. Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings are most preferred pipe fittings in piping systems. These fittings are available in various shapes and dimensions.

Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings are not only used to connect pipes of different or same sizes or shapes but also used for regulating fluid flow. These are the important part of piping & tubing systems without this piping system won’t work and supply fluid over small or long distances.

Stainless Steel Pipe fittings are available in various forms like elbow, couplings, union, nipple, reducer, double-tapped bushing, tee, diverter tee, cross, cap, plug, barb, plug, adapter, outlet, lateral tee, and valve.

Types of Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings

There are three main types of stainless steel pipe fittings

1. Stainless Steel (SS) Buttweld Fittings
2. Stainless Steel (SS) Socketweld Fittings
3. Stainless Steel (SS) Threaded Fittings

All the above types are available in different forms as we discussed earlier. So can get a combination of Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings like 90 Degree Elbow Buttweld Fittings, 45 Degree Elbow Socket weld fittings, Half Coupling Threaded Fittings, etc.

Basically, fasteners are made up of two part one male part and another female part. The male part has external threads such as screws or bolts and the female part is a hole with internal threads like nuts. Both parts mates together and form the non-permanent joint of two joining components. These both are types of fasteners. Three major types of material used to make Steel fasteners are Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel or Carbon Steel.

Various Types of Fasteners

Basically, there are 4 main types of Fasteners are:

1. Bolts
2. Nuts
3. Screws
4. Washers

Each of these has subtypes as follows:

Types of Bolts

Bolts are used to make bolted joint. It has threads on its outer side. They have several configurations for various applications.

Types of Nuts

Nuts are used with Bolts and Washers to create non-permanent Joints. They have helical shapes and threaded hole.

Types of Screws

Screws are typically made up of metal with a helical ridge over its surface. It is used to hold the position of two objects together.

Types of Washers

Washers are the types of fasteners that are generally used to distribute the load in threaded fasteners assembly with a huge hole in its outer body or surface.

In piping system, to connect pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment, flanges are used. Flanges provide easy access for inspection, modification or cleaning in a piping system. They are usually screwed or welded to join pipes, valves, pumps or other components.

Different types of standards are used for flanges in various countries. In the US flanges are made with ASME standards such as ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47, and MSS Sp-44. In Europe, flanges are manufactured with standard DIN EN 1092-1. This is similar to US standard but has a different name. Flanges are made as per the ISO Standard for materials and pressure ratings in the rest of the world.

The most common Types of Flanges used in Industry:

1. Slip On Flange
2. Weld Neck Flange
3. Blind Flange
4. Socket Weld Flange
5. Threaded Flange
6. Lap Joint Flange

Slip on Flange

Slip on flange is usually a ring plate that is placed over the pipe end. It moves freely on pipe, to make the connection between flange and pipe apply 2 fillet welds each on the inner side and outer side of the flange.

Weld Neck Flange

Weld neck flange classify into two designs. One is regular type is used with pipes and other is used in the process plant. It is consist of rounded fittings with a projecting rim around the circumference. These flanges used in aggressive environments that have high-temperature pressures or other sources of stress.

Blind Flange

The Blind flange also called a solid flange because it is manufactured without bore. It is used to block the section of pipe or a nozzle that off no use. These flanges are suitable for low as well as higher temperature & pressure applications.

Socket Weld Flange

Socket Weld Flange mainly used for small size high-pressure piping. The connection between flange and pipe did with 1 fillet weld, at the outer side of flanges. But before welding some space should be provided between flange and pipe.  

Threaded Flange

All of the above flanges cannot use without welding. For this reason, Threaded Flange where introduced. It is used for special purpose with the main benefit that they can be installed without welding. The connection between pipe and flange did with the threaded joint. These flanges are available in most sizes and pressure ratings.

Lap Joint Flange

Lap Joint flange does not have any raised face or pipe section; they are used with Lap Joint Stub Ends. These flanges are similar to slip on flanges, but it is used within conjunction with stub end. The pressure handling capacity is little but better than slip on flanges.

Some other Special Flanges

1. Orifice Flanges
2. Reducing Flanges
3. Spectacle Blind Flanges
4. Forged Flanges
