Pipe connectors are also known as pipe fittings and it can be used for joining one pipe to another pipe. It is made by using the below-mentioned materials:
- Cast iron
- Carbon steel
- Brass
- Stainless steel
It is mainly designed for the joining of two pipes together for lengthening purposes in many of the industries. The pipe connectors are popularly used in industries for transferring of water supply, and also involves in the distribution of various fluids, steam, air, and other gases.
PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. PVC Connectors has spigot ends at both sides of the pipe and it requires socket fittings to join. It is to be noted that many of the PVC Connectors have socketed ends.
Simple guidance for connecting of pipe
Each pipe connectors vary in their size, shape, and length. There are lots of different solutions are available to make your pipe works safer and more secure and also you can reduce the leakage. There are many traditional ways available to connect a pipe with the capillary joints and you need to solder the joints with an adjustable spanner for tightening. It is an effective method and much easier for you to do in your home itself.
The manufacturing process involved in pipe connectors
There are various pipe connectors manufacturing process that is used to manufacture materials like elbow, tee, reducers, and other pipe connectors. Pipe connectors are manufactured from the seamless and welded pipe with some filter materials. Large diameter connectors are manufacture from the plate. Some methods involved in the manufacturing process are as follows:
- Extrusion process
- Hydraulic bulge process
- Single weld seam process
- Double weld seam process
- Deep drawing for caps
- Flare method for stub ends
ELBOWS manufacturing process
- HOT FORMING METHOD: In this method, a pipe is cut into pieces and allows induction heater coil to heat the pipe, and it is pushed over a die for the pipe to bend and expand quickly. This method can be used to manufacture a wide range of different sizes of elbows.
- Cold forming method: A pipe with the same diameter as a finished product is to be pushed into a die to form a desired shape and size.
Reducer manufacturing process
1) Outer die method: This is the most commonly practiced method. The pipe is cut and pressurized in the outer die; compressing one end of the pipe into a smaller size and another end of a pipe into a larger size.
Cap manufacturing process
1) Deep drawing method: In this method, the plate is to be cut out in a circle shape and it is formed by deep-drawing the die.
Stub manufacturing process
1) Flaring method: The end of the pipe is considered as a flare to form the fare flange face. These stub ends can also be manufactured by a forging process in which the forge block is machined to a final dimension size.
PVC connectors and pipe connectors are used for various applications in the current trend. Make good use of the above-mentioned manufacturing process of PVC connectors and pipe connectors. Apart from industries and homes, it is used in other sectors like siding, blood bags tubing, cable insulation, and so on.
