What Are The Specific Subdivisions Of Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings?

We often see or hear Stainless Steel Weld Fittings, which has become the norm in life. Some of them are just called differently. Except for PPR pipe fittings made of plastic, they are basically stainless steel pipe fittings. But if we look at the industry specifically, what are the subdivisions?

First of all, stainless steel pipe fittings include high-pressure pipe fittings used in industry, also called industrial pipe fittings. This type of appearance does not need to be so delicate, and many are also used outdoors, so the production process is relatively simple. After buying a long pipe, cut it according to the detailed data parameters, and then use a series of machines such as pipe bending machines to make it into the desired shape, such as 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and other specifications of elbows and tees, crosses, reducers, and even some non-standard sizes.

In addition to industrial stainless steel pipe fittings, another type is sanitary stainless steel pipe fittings, which have higher production requirements. The raw materials are basically the same, mainly 304, and a few will use 316 or 316L. The previous process is basically the same, and there is an additional polishing process at the end, which is also an important process. It not only requires glossiness, but also requires surface flatness to reduce the appearance of some defects. Sanitary stainless steel pipe fittings are mainly used in the food industry and pharmaceutical industry. They also require elbows of different angles, tees, crosses, and reducers.

After talking about the above two subdivisions, there are also common connection methods: quick installation, welding, and threading. No matter what kind of stainless steel pipe fittings, they are ultimately used to achieve the function of connection and fluid.
