1. Types of Pipe Fittings

According to the different forms of pipe fittings, they can be divided into straight pipe fittings, elbow pipe fittings, threaded pipe fittings, and sealed pipe fittings.

1. Straight pipe fittings: Straight pipe fittings are the most common type of pipe fittings. They mainly consist of two arc-shaped ends. This type of fitting includes direct connectors, tees, and cross joints. It is commonly used for casting pipe fittings and is the most widely used among the four types of pipe fittings mentioned above. It is mainly used to cast various fittings required for pipe connections.

2. Elbow pipe fittings: Elbow pipe fittings are designed to change the connection point of the fitting from a right angle to a curved angle, allowing the elbow to be designed for gravity. The main advantage of elbow pipe fittings is that they can shorten the length of the pipe while maintaining the strength of the fitting. They also help prevent contamination. Elbow pipe fittings are mainly used in industries such as chemicals, petroleum, power, and steam for pipeline connections.

3. Threaded pipe fittings: Threaded pipe fittings refer to fittings that use threads at both ends for connection, allowing the fitting to be connected to another fitting or to the pipe. They include threaded joints, spiral pipe joints, and welded joints, among others. Many pipe fittings can be customized according to actual needs, making installation more flexible and providing fastening functions for better performance.

4. Sealed pipe fittings: Sealed pipe fittings are special sealing components used to complete the connection of pipe fittings. They can seal and tighten the connection point of the fitting, improving water and gas tightness, preventing pollution from mud and impurities in water sources. Sealed pipe fittings come in various types, such as steel-strand fittings, rubber fittings, and plastic fittings, with different materials selected based on specific requirements for better performance.

2. Pipe Fitting Processing

Pipe fittings are enclosed components characterized by holes, and they can be processed in many ways. The most commonly used method is precision processing, which is a type of precise mechanical processing used for manufacturing various metal pipe fittings. Depending on the material and size of the pipe fitting, various precision processing techniques such as milling, stamping, turning, and thread processing can be chosen to ensure the fitting's quality, stability, and aesthetic appearance, meeting the user's requirements.

3. Pipe Fitting Assembly

The assembly of pipe fittings is also crucial. The assembly requires high precision and strong sturdiness to ensure that the pipe fittings are securely connected without affecting the flow within the pipe. The installation of pipe fittings is generally done mechanically, with options such as the loose nut model and the clamp model. Different types of assemblies can be performed based on customer needs, and installation can also be carried out.
