Stainless Steel Corrugated Pipe Fittings

Stainless steel corrugated pipe fittings are accessories used for the purpose of connecting, branching, turning and closing stainless steel corrugated pipe. They are usually used in pipeline systems that require high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. Stainless steel corrugated pipe fittings are widely used in industries such as industry, chemical industry, electric power, construction, etc., especially for pipeline systems that transport gas, liquid and steam.

Common types of stainless steel corrugated pipe fittings

1. Stainless steel corrugated pipe couplings (Coupling)

Function: Connect two sections of stainless steel corrugated pipe of the same or different diameters to ensure the continuity of the pipeline.

Features: It can be a straight-through type, and there are also reducers (connections of pipes of different diameters), which are suitable for occasions that require quick connection.

Application: Used for pipeline connections in oil, natural gas, chemicals, etc.

2. Stainless steel corrugated pipe elbows (Elbow)

Function: Used to change the direction of the corrugated pipe, common angles are 45°, 90°, 180°, etc.

Features: The bending radius and angle of the elbow will be customized according to specific needs.

Application: Suitable for turning of the pipeline system or pipeline layout when space is limited.

3. Stainless steel corrugated pipe tee

Function: used for branching of pipelines, providing a connection method for diversion or confluence from the main pipeline to the branch pipeline.

Type: including equal diameter tees and reducing tees, the latter is suitable for diversion of pipelines with different diameters.

Application: commonly used for branching and confluence of liquid and gas transmission pipelines.

4. Stainless steel corrugated pipe reducer

Function: connects two stainless steel corrugated pipe of different diameters to play the role of pipeline size transition.

Type: common ones are concentric reducers and eccentric reducers. Eccentric reducers are often used to avoid bubble accumulation in the fluid.

Application: widely used in liquid and gas pipeline systems.

5. Stainless steel corrugated pipe flange

Function: connect pipelines and equipment, or the connection between two pipeline sections. The connection is achieved by bolting the flange.

Features: suitable for pipeline systems that need to be disassembled and maintained. The flange connection has good sealing and is suitable for high-pressure environments.

Application: commonly used in high-pressure pipelines, chemical treatment systems, steam transportation and other fields.

6. Stainless steel corrugated pipe check valve

Function: Pipe fittings used to prevent fluid backflow.

Features: It can prevent liquid or gas from flowing backward in the pipeline.

Application: Widely used in liquid and gas delivery systems, especially where pumps and other equipment are involved.

7. Stainless steel corrugated pipe joint (Flexible Joint)

Function: Connect two sections of stainless steel corrugated pipe to allow a certain expansion or displacement of the pipeline.

Features: It has good flexibility and can effectively compensate for the expansion and contraction of the pipeline.

Application: It is used in pipeline systems with large temperature changes or occasions that require a certain amount of movement space.

8. Stainless steel corrugated pipe compensator (Expansion Joint)

Function: It is used to compensate for the thermal expansion, contraction and vibration of the pipeline to ensure the stability of the pipeline system.

Features: It is often used in pipeline systems with high temperature or frequent temperature changes.

Application: It is widely used in pipeline systems under high temperature and high pressure environments such as boilers, steam pipelines, and chemical plants.

9. Stainless steel corrugated pipe bracket (Bracket)

Function: Support and fix stainless steel corrugated pipe to prevent damage to the pipeline due to displacement, vibration or pressure changes.

Features: Usually equipped with rubber gaskets, which can absorb vibration and keep the pipeline stable.

Application: Commonly used for pipeline support in mechanical equipment and buildings.

10. Stainless steel corrugated pipe end cap (End Cap)

Function: Close the end of the corrugated pipe to prevent fluid leakage or contamination.

Application: Commonly used at the end of the pipeline, especially during pipeline testing or storage.

Features of stainless steel corrugated pipe fittings

1. Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel corrugated pipe and their fittings have excellent corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in corrosive environments such as acids, alkalis, and salts.

2. High strength and high temperature resistance: Stainless steel has high mechanical strength and high temperature resistance, can adapt to high temperature and high pressure working environments, and is widely used in industrial pipeline systems.

3. Good sealing: The design of welding, flange or threaded connection makes stainless steel corrugated pipe fittings have good sealing performance and reduces the risk of leakage.

4. Flexibility: Stainless steel corrugated pipe have good flexibility, which enables its pipe fittings to withstand certain displacement, vibration and thermal expansion, and adapt to complex pipeline layouts.

5. Strong applicability: Stainless steel corrugated pipe and pipe fittings can be applied to a variety of fluid media, such as gas, liquid, steam, etc., and are widely used in industries such as oil, natural gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage.

Installation and use of stainless steel corrugated pipe pipe fittings

1. Welding connection: The common connection method is to connect corrugated pipe and pipe fittings by welding. In stainless steel pipeline systems, the use of stainless steel welding technology (such as TIG welding) can ensure strength and sealing.

2. Flange connection: Flange connection is suitable for high-pressure pipeline systems and can be easily disassembled and maintained. Flange joints are usually equipped with sealing gaskets to enhance the sealing effect.

3. Threaded connection: Stainless steel corrugated pipe pipe fittings can also be connected by threading for smaller diameter pipeline systems. Threaded connection is simple and easy to use, and is suitable for low-pressure pipeline systems.

4. Flexible connection: For occasions where pipeline expansion and displacement are required, flexible connectors such as compensators and expansion joints can be used.

Common application areas

Chemical industry: transporting chemicals, acids, alkalis and other corrosive substances.

Food and beverage industry: used to transport food, beverages or clean gases, etc.

Oil and gas: used in oil and gas pipeline systems, requiring high temperature and high pressure resistance.

Power industry: used for high-temperature pipelines such as steam pipelines and cooling systems.

Pharmaceutical industry: stainless steel corrugated pipe are often used in sterile fluid delivery systems.
