Foreword
At present, there are various connection methods for thin-walled stainless steel pipes. Common types of pipe fittings include compression type, compression type, flexible type, clamp type, flange connection, welding type, and a derivative series of connection methods combining welding and traditional connections. The connection methods of these stainless steel pipes vary according to their principles, and their scope of application is also different, but most of them are easy to install, firm and reliable. Next, the stainless steel pipe manufacturer Huiyingsteel will introduce the six connection methods of stainless steel pipes in detail.
PART01 stainless steel pipe compression connection
Compression type connection: inserting the pipe into the mouth of the stainless steel pipe, tightening it with a nut, and compressing the casing at the mouth of the stainless steel pipe through the sealing ring with a screw force, which plays a sealing role and completes the connection of the pipe.
Features: From the connection of stainless steel pipes alone, the pipe wall can be relatively thin and material-saving, easy to install, and disassemble, easy to maintain, and has a large tool-pulling force.
PART02 stainless steel pipe press connection
Stainless steel pipe crimping connection: a special rubber sealing ring is installed in the U-shaped groove at the end of the crimping pipe fitting. When installing, insert the stainless steel pipe into the socket pipe fitting to the positioning step position, and use a special crimping tool to align the U-shaped groove The pressing parts on one or both sides of the U-shaped groove are squeezed at the same time. The rubber sealing ring plays a sealing role after being squeezed, and the simultaneous shrinkage and deformation of the pipe fittings and the pipe at the compression part (the cross-section forms a hexagonal shape) plays a role in positioning and fixing, thus effectively realizing the connection of the stainless steel pipes.
Features: Easy and fast installation, reliable sealing, but no dismantling.
PART03 stainless steel pipe flexible connection
Flexible connection: insert the pipe into the mouth of the stainless steel pipe, fasten the cap nut with a special wrench, and seal the sealing ring through the compression ring to complete the connection between the pipe and the stainless steel pipe.
Features: Easy to install, can be disassembled and can adapt to harsh environments such as foundation sinking.
PART04 welding connection
Welded connection: The end of the pipe is grooved, and the stainless steel pipe is welded by hand or automatically.
Features: Traditional connection method, high welding strength of stainless steel pipe, but welding conditions are required on site
PART05 stainless steel pipe flange connection
Flange connection: the flange and the piping are welded by an annular argon arc, and fastened with quick clamps or bolts so that the gasket between the flanges plays a sealing role and completes the piping connection.
Features: The traditional connection method, the connection of stainless steel pipes is safe and reliable.
PART06 stainless steel pipe groove connection
Stainless steel pipe groove connection, also known as clamp connection, has become the first technology for liquid and gas pipeline connections. The grooved pipe joint is a sleeve-type quick joint that is processed into an annular groove at the pipe joint parts such as pipes and pipe fittings and is composed of clamps, rubber sealing rings, and fasteners.
During installation, after the special-shaped rubber sealing ring is put on the adjacent pipe ends, it is connected with a split clamp. After the inner edge of the clamp is seated in the groove and fastened with fasteners, the sealing performance of the stainless steel pipe is ensured.
Features: This stainless steel pipe connection method has the advantages of not destroying the galvanized layer of the steel pipe, fast construction, good sealing, and easy disassembly.
