How to Choose Steel Pipe Fittings

When purchasing steel pipe fittings, it’s important to take into consideration certain factors, most importantly size and shape, to ensure that it is a perfect match for your specific purpose. However, another important aspect to consider is the material used in the making of the pipe fitters. Certain elements added to the steel, such as carbon and chrome, can dramatically affect its strength and appearance. Here are a few great reasons to invest in carbon steel pipe fittings as well as chrome plating.

Durability

Steel is one of the most popular types of pipe fittings and has been used for construction of pipes and pipe fittings for years because of its durability and strength. However, carbon steel, or plain-carbon steel, has the ability become much   stronger through heat treatment.  The more carbon added to the steel, the stronger it can become, which is why it is considered one of the strongest types of steel. Another way to increase the durability is to create a harder surface by adding a layer of chromium. Chrome plated pipe fittings are not only durable, but prevent corrosion and may also make the cleaning process much easier.

Multi-purpose

Carbon steel pipe fittings are typically used for industrial purposes such as commercial construction, electric-power, petroleum refinement and the building of ships, but are also often seen in the household.  They are used for fire sprinkler systems and pipes carrying water, types of flammable gasses, oil or steam. Because of the addition of carbon to the steel, carbon steel pipes and pipe fittings are also much more resistant to rust.  Again, chrome plated pipe fittings will also help to prevent rust and will keep steel looking newly polished. Because chrome plating has a naturally bright appearance, it is utilized more in the automobile industry.

Variety

Because steel has the ability to undergo heat treatment, it’s easy to find carbon steel pipe fittings with just the right amount of carbon for any purpose. Mild carbon steel is typically used when a project calls for a large amount of steel because of its lower price and standard usage. Medium carbon steel is mostly utilized in the automotive industry due to its erosion resistance. Due to its strength, high carbon steel is used in the making of wires and springs. However, once the carbon content reaches 1.0%, it is only used for specific, non-industrial purposes.

Hot - dip Galvanized

The hot dip galvanizing is a process of applying zinc coatings to components in steel or iron by immersing the component in a bath of molten zinc. The simplicity of the hot dip galvanizing process is an advantage on other methods of corrosion protection.

The term has been subsequently adopted to other methods of steel coatings by zinc and, sometimes, is used in general for electrolytic steel deposition. To avoid confusions, the immersion of liquid steel in zinc should be referred as hot dip galvanizing. In any situation where the zinc is corroded as a sacrificial coating for the steel, the available zinc mass determines the performance against corrosion.

Our process is divided into the following steps:

1. Cleaning – Bath in acid solution to remove oils, masses and other greases.

2. Rinsing – Washing realised to avoid contamination of the following bathes.

3. Pickling – Bath in hydrochloric acid to remove oxides and mill scales.

4. Rinsing – Washing realised to avoid contamination of the following bathes.

5. Fluxing – Solution of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride which acts as protection against oxidation between the pickling and zinc immersion.

6. Drying – Stage in an oven at 60ºC to dry the pieces and reduce the thermal shock upon immersion in the zinc bath. Furthermore acts as wetting agent of the pieces in the zinc bath.

7. Zinc Bath – Immersion in a bath of molten zinc between 440º and 465º to reaction between Fe/Zn which composes the final coating.

Welded Pipe vs. Seamless Pipe

Advantages Of Welded

Welded pipes are typically more cost effective than their seamless equivalents.

Welded pipes are usually more readily available than seamless. The longer lead time required for seamless pipes can not only make timing problematic, but it also allows more time for the price of the materials to fluctuate.

The wall thickness of welded pipes is generally more consistent than that of seamless pipes.

The internal surface of welded tubes can be checked before manufacturing, which isn’t possible with seamless.

Advantages Of Seamless

The main perceived advantage of seamless pipes is that they don’t have a weld seam. Traditionally, the seam of welded pipes has been viewed as a weak spot, vulnerable to failure and corrosion. For many years, this fear was probably justified. However, in recent years improvements in the manufacturing process for welded steel pipes and other welded pipes have boosted the strength and performance of the weld seam to levels indistinguishable from that of the rest of the pipe.

Seamless pipes provide peace of mind. Although there should be no issues with the seams of welded pipes supplied by reputable manufacturers, seamless pipes prevent any possibility of a weak seam.

Seamless pipes have better ovality, or roundness, than welded pipes.

Usage Notes for Flange Product

Notes for flange product use:

1. In order to prevent corrosion of eye is generated due to a flange cover heating, welding current should keep shoulds not be too big, than carbon steel electrode less than 20%, arc shoulds not be too long, interlayer fast cooling, a narrow weld bead is appropriate.

2. The use of the electrode should be keep the drying, titanium calcium type should keep drying 150 DEG C for 1 hour and a low hydrogen type should be kept between 200 and 250 DEG C and dried for 1 hour, prevent electrode viscous oil and other dirt, so as not to cause the weld increase with carbon content, and the influence of welding quality.

3.  Flat welding flange pipe welding by repeated heating and carbide precipitation and reduce the resistance and the mechanical properties of the corrosion properties of the product.

4.  Chrome flange pipe after welding of flange American Standard hardening is large, easy to crack. If the same type of chromium stainless steel welding rod (G202, G207) welding, must be more than 300 degrees above the preheat and 700 degrees after the cooling treatment. If can not carry out welding welding after heat treatment, should use the flange pipe electrode (A107, A207).

5.  Flat welding flange, in order to improve the corrosion resistance and welding and appropriate to increase the amount of stability of Ti, Nb, Mo, better than chromium flat welding flange welding. Using the same type of chromium welding flange welding rod (G302, G307), after more than 200 DEG C of preheating and welding 800 DEG C tempering treatment. If the welding conditions can not be heat treatment, should use the flange pipe electrode (A107, A207).

The main function of flange:

1. Connect the line and keep the sealing performance;

2. To facilitate the replacement of a section of the pipeline;

3. Easy to open and check the pipeline situation;

4. To facilitate the closure of a certain section of the pipeline.

Electrical resistance welding

Electrical resistance welding will be welders parts formed pressed between two electrodes, and subjected to current, the resistor thermal effects generated by the current flowing through contact with the workpiece surface and the neighboring regions to be heated to melt the plastic state, so that metal-binding method. Resistance welding methods are mainly four kinds, namely, spot welding, seam welding, projection welding, butt welding.

Spot welding 

Spot welding assembly into the lap joint, and pressed between two cylindrical electrodes, the resistance of hot-melt the base metal to form a solder joint resistance welding method. Spot welding is mainly used for sheet metal welding.

Seam welding 

Seam welding and spot welding, just a rotating disc-shaped wheel electrode instead of the columnar electrode and the weldment assembly into a lap or butt joint, and placed between the electrodes of the two wheel roller pressure welding and rotation, continuous or intermittent transmission to form a continuous weld resistance welding method.

Projection welding

Projection welding is a variant form of spot welding; pre-bump in a workpiece, projection welding, once formed in the joints of one or more of the nugget.

Aeronautics and Astronautics, aerospace, electronics, automotive, household appliances, industrial development, resistance increasingly wide attention. Meanwhile, resistance welding quality also put forward higher requirements. The good news is that the development of microelectronics technology in China and high-power thyristor rectifier development, resistance welding technology to improve the conditions. At present, China has produced the excellent performance of the secondary rectifier welder. integrated circuits and micro-computer control box for the new welder supporting the transformation of the old welder. Constant current, dynamic resistance, and thermal expansion of advanced closed-loop control technology has been in production application. All help to improve the welding quality, and expand its application areas.
