Pipes and tubes are connected with butt weld fittings (BWF). They are also known as pipe fittings, pipe clamps, and pipe junctions. Tube clamps, tube connectors, and elbow joints are all the butt types of weld fittings. Pipe and tube systems of different diameters can be joined using pipe butt welding fittings. The number of butt joints required depends on the system size. The joints are fused or butt welded at the ends to prevent leakage. Butt weld fittings are rectangular or round objects (called bodies). There are a variety of materials that can be used for pipe fittings, including copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. Depending on the joint and region, they are made from different materials. Fittings are available in universal sizes to fit any pipe or butt weld tube fittings size. The tubing is soldered to the fitting and then inserted into a pipe where it can be connected to other sections of the pipe. Assembling the fittings correctly may ...
