Butt Weld Fittings Types and Material Specifications

Image
  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 take several minutes and

Steel And Alloy Steel Difference?

Image
  Alloy steel constitutes steel that is alloyed with a range of elements in total amounts varying from 0.1 to 50 percent by weight with the purpose of improving its mechanical properties. A low alloy steel is classified as a low alloy steel, while a high alloy steel is classified as a high alloy steel. There is some controversy surrounding the differences between the two.   There is less than 2 percent carbon in steel and less than 1% manganese and titanium in steel. It contains small quantities of silicon, phosphorus, Sulphur , and oxygen as well. Among engineering and construction materials, steel is the most important.   What is an alloy?   Metal alloys are materials made up of two or more metals, especially to give increased strength or corrosion resistance. Alloys are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances. For example, bronze is made from copper and tin alloys.   What's steel made of?   To increase its strength and fracture resistance, steel is usually enriched with
