Can you tell me the difference between the half pipe joint and the branch seat?
The 1. half pipe joint standard half pipe joint specification production pipe connection form the connection form is divided into three kinds of socket weld connections, welded connections, threaded connections. Pressure rating: pipe pressure rating, general socket welding, butt welding fittings form the pressure rating of 3000LB (SCH80), 6000LB (SCH160), 9000 (XXS). Thread connection type, pipe pressure grade is divided into 2000LB, 3000LB, 6000LB. The commonly used pipe Name: 90 degree elbow, three, four, 45 degree oblique three, couplings (pipe joints, and copy), half coupling (half pipe joints, pipe cap, semi Bele), Union (by either), Taiwan Branch (branch block). The power plant took over the seat, forged three, threaded plug, the wire, bushing, strengthening pipe joint pipe.
The 2. branch pipe seat is widely used abroad in recent years, the branch for strengthening pipe connection, to replace the traditional use of different diameter three, reinforcing plate, strengthening pipe etc. branch connection type, which has the advantages of safety, lower cost, simple construction, improve media channel, standardization, series design has the advantages of convenient so, especially in high pressure, high temperature, large diameter and thick wall pipe is widely used, instead of the traditional branch connection method
The main body of the branch pipe is made of high quality forgings. The material is the same as the pipe material. Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and so on. The branch pipe and the head adopts a welding, pipe seat and branch pipe or other pipe (such as tube plug, etc.), instruments and valves connected with butt welding, socket welding, threaded types.
