Socket Weld fittings are a member of the ‘high-pressure fittings’ family, the pipe being interpolated into the recessed area of the fitting. In conjunction to the fitting, fillet-type seal welds helps in connecting the pipe to the fitting, to form a leak proof pipe structure. Pipes with small diameters have Socket Weld fittings.

A Reducer fitting connects pipes of various sizes, with one end of the reducer being larger than the other end. These ends are called Male and Female threads, the larger and the smaller one respectively. The fitting acquired its name as the reducer fitting looks like a reducer and an elbow united as one.

A Forged flange is a metal disc, installed at the back of a tube, valve or any other object. It permits easy installation and removal of a piping system.

An Anchor bolt functions to joins an object to concrete. They are manufactured with an external thread at its end, used for insertion through holes in already constructed parts and are tightened by a nut.

A heat exchanger is a device built to either eat or cool off elements by transferring heat from one medium to another, ideally liquid or gas. Heat exchangers are used across a variety of industries in numerous ways. In this PPT, know about the types of heat exchangers according to their transfer process.

Complex hydraulic networks are joined together using fittings, of varied sizes and shapes. Since these systems control high-pressure processes, the fittings that control them need to be strong and flexible at the same time. Through this PPT, let’s explore Compression fittings, a type of hydraulic fitting.

We use refrigerators, air - conditioners and cars frequently in our daily lives. But there's one thing in common which goes into all of these - heat exchangers! Principally designed to conduct heat from one medium to another, scroll below to know more about these unique devices serving mankind.

Orifice flanges are disc-shaped flanges which are commonly provided with one of the three flanges namely welding-neck, slip-on and threaded.

A valve is a component of the piping network. It is a mechanical device, controlling or modifying the flow and pressure within a pipeline that convey liquids and gases. A valve stops, allows, control and modifies flow of a fluid media.

A spectacle flange is made from a single piece of metal which is cut into two discs: out of which one is a solid plate whereas the other is a ring. These flanges are also called as ‘figure8’ flanges.

A reducing flange is a special flange, used for fitting of pipes that vary in sizes. Reducing flanges are usually provided with the following types of flanges: • Welding neck • Slip-on • Threaded

A nut is a type of a fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are habitually used with a bolt, mating together to hold two objects together. A bolt or screw with an undercut is inserted through a hole and are secured with a nut, promoting sturdiness. Lock nuts prevent the loosening of bolts.

A screw is a fastener with a head on one end and a pointed tip on the other end. Screws have threads that help them to dig into objects and hold them firmly.

A bolt is a uniformly threaded fastener. Bolts can be manufactured with or without a head, the same applies to their threads too – they can be threaded wholly or partly.

Flanges have been an integral part of the piping system. There are varieties of flanges that are in use in different industries. Every industry demands a special set of flanges according to their requirements. Through this article, you will be familiar with the different range of flanges available; their sizes, shapes, advantages, demerits and use.
