What are the Different Types of Pipe Fittings?

Fittings are very flexible, compatible and display superior performance even in harsh environments. Inconel 625 Fittings is also regarded as nickel-based supper alloy which has excellent high strength properties and resistance to high temperatures.

Inconel 625 Pipe Fittings are strong and are used in high corrosive applications that need stronger pipes. The material is a nickel chromium molybdenum alloy with niobium in the composition for stabilization. It can operate from cryogenic temperatures up to 1093 degrees Celsius. So the fittings are preferable for applications that require high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. The Alloy 625 Buttweld Fittings are used with ease of welding and this is the most used type of fittings.

Different Types of Pipe Fittings include:

Elbows

If you need to change the direction of flow, elbows are likely your best bet. Produced primarily in 90 and 45 degree angles (unique sizes like 22.5 and 60 are also available), elbows can be threaded or sweated, and are one of the most crucial fittings used in plumbing.

Tees

When more than one branch is required of a water supply, tees are the way to go. Essentially a long coupling with an outlet on the side, these fittings feature their outlets at 90° from the inlet, and are sized according to their “run” and the side outlet. When the run of a tee is smaller than the side outlet, it’s often referred to as a “bull head” fitting.

Caps and Plugs

A cap goes over the end of a pipe, creating a dead end. Plugs also stop up a pipe or tube system, but are plugged, like a stopper, into the end of the pipe.

Cross type Fitting

Cross type fittings contain 4 opening in 4 directions. These are connected when there are 4 pipes meeting at a point.

The tube fittings at Ashtapad Overseas, are very versatile and available in different sizes and shapes. Inconel 625 Fittings exhibits high tensile strength and long-life span. These instrumentation fittings are durable and possesses remarkable fatigue resistance.
