Tube connectors
Multi-directional technopolymer tube connectors are available for square and round tubes. Connectors are available in two, three, four, five, six-way, as well as adjustable angle connectors and connectors with zinc plated steel or stainless steel reinforcements.
What are the main types of pipe joints and where are they used?
Pipe joints are used wherever different pipeline segments need to be connected into one tight, reliable system. The most common types of joints are threaded, pressed, pressed, flanged and welded joints. Threaded joints are used in lower pressure systems, and pressed and pressed joints are used where quick installation without fire is important. Flanged joints are suitable for larger diameter pipelines, when the possibility of frequent dismantling of the joint is necessary. Welded joints are chosen when maximum mechanical resistance and complete tightness are required.
How to choose the right pipe fittings according to the medium, pressure and installation?
The right connection is selected after considering the type of medium being transported, the working pressure, the pipe material and the installation conditions. For example, aggressive chemicals require resistant materials such as stainless steel or special polymers. For high pressure, it is necessary to choose certified, robust connections. If the installation location is difficult to access, press or crimp connections can be much more practical than welding.
Do all connections provide the same tightness and vibration resistance?
No. Different connections have different levels of resistance. Pressed connections are usually very tight, but are not always suitable for high vibrations. Welded connections often have the highest resistance to both vibration and pressure. Threaded connections can be more sensitive to temperature changes and require periodic tightening. Therefore, the connection should be selected based on the actual operating conditions.
How important is material compatibility when connecting different types of pipes?
Incorrectly matched materials can cause corrosion, electrolytic reaction or loss of tightness. The joints must be compatible with both the pipe material and the transported medium. This ensures long-term and safe operation of the pipeline and reduces the risk of failures.
