Steel pipe fittings manufacture molding process
Steel pipe fitting are made of carbon or alloy steel pipe , plates, profiles, to a certain shape that could make a function (Change the fluids direction or rate) in pipeline systems. Mostly these fittings includes steel elbow (45 or 90 degree bend), tee, reducer (concentric or eccentric reducer), cross, caps, nipple, flanges, gasket, studs and etc. For industrial purposes, in pipeline systems usually we need to change the transmission direction; Adjust fluids (oil and gas, water, slurry) flow rate; Open or close the pipelines, etc. So to complete these activities, steel pipe fittings will be applied. The manufacturing processes for pipe fittings includes forging and shaping operations. As well as pressing, hammering, piercing, extruding, upsetting, rolling, bending, fusion welding and machining. Or the processes of combination of two or more of these operations. During the manufacturing steel pipe fittings, below activities shall be noted: 1, Injurious imperfections, ...
