A coupling is used to connect the pipes of same diameter. Coupling are also valuable if the pipe is broken or leakage occurs. Generally there are two types of combinings are available. Compression coupling and slip coupling. Compression coupling is regular coupling which is connected between two pipes and it prevents leakage by the arrangement of gaskets or rubber seals on both sides, otherwise glue is offered. Slip coupling is much easier to install and it contains two pipes which are arranged as one into other, inner pipe can glide as much as some length. So, we can take care of lengthy length damaged pipe by slip coupling.
Reducer is a pipe fitting component which minimizes the flow size from larger to smaller sized by reducing size of pipe. Usually there are two types of reducers are available. One is concentric reducer which resembles cone formed with gradual decreasing around the pipe but in this case accumulation of air may possible and it leads to cavitation. Other one is eccentric reducer which is having one side parallel to connecting pipe because of which air accumulation is not possible.
Tee type fitting is a component of plumbing system which is in T-shape. It is having one inlet and two outlets, outlets are arranged at 90o to the main line connection (inlet). It can also be used to integrate the flow from two inlets to one electrical outlet. They are also available in different materials and different sizes. If the 3 sides of T-fitting are similar in size then it is called as Equal tee otherwise it is called as Unequal tee.
A Globe valve is used to stop, start, and regulate the fluid flow. Globe Valves are used in systems where flow control is needed, and leak tightness is also needed. A Globe valve provides better shut-off than the gate valve and is costlier than a gate valve. The check valve prevents backflow in the piping system. The pressure of the fluid going through a pipe opens the valve, while any turnaround of flow will certainly close the valve.
A gate valve is one of the most common type of valve in any process plant. It is a linear activity valve used to start or stop fluid flow. In service, these valves are either fully open or fully closed. Gate valves are used in mostly all fluid services such as air, fuel gas, feedwater, heavy steam, lube oil, hydrocarbon, and almost any services. The gate valve provides a good shutoff.
Various kinds of pipe installations are available in plumbing systems for different objectives and functions. 1bs.ir fitting is used in plumbing system to join multiple pipes of same size or different sizes, to regulate the flow or to determine the flow. They are made up of different materials like copper, iron, brass, PVC etc.
Chances are there that you already know this. But there is no damage in refreshing the memory. A valve is a device that regulates, controls, or directs the flow of a fluid by opening, closing, or partly blocking fluid flow. An audio bit made complex? Ok, let me further streamline this. A valve is a mechanical device that controls the flow and pressure of fluid within a system or process. So essentially, it controls flow & pressure.
