Due to the potential problems associated with a cheater bar or snipe, some situations may require an alternative to loosening and removing threaded pipe, screws, bolts or other fasteners. Hydraulic Chain Pipe Wrench – A hydraulic driven wrench which will safely remove threaded pipe from other threaded coupling, valve, etc. while the other ...
A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve. A compression fitting is a fitting used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. . In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connect
The technology chosen to heat-up a given equipment should account for the following features: 1. Thermal stability of the heat source 2. Thermal homogeneity within all the equipment 3. Safety of operation 4. Reproducibility. The most used method is based on the convective heat transfer.
HDPE pipe fusion. Heat fusion (sometimes called heat welding, butt welding or simply fusion) is a welding process used to join two different pieces of a thermoplastic. This process involves heating both pieces simultaneously and pressing them together. The two pieces then cool together and form a permanent bond.
Electric heat tracing, heat tape or surface heating, is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes and vessels using heat tracing cables. Trace heating takes the form of an electrical heating element run in physical contact along the length of a pipe.
The bolt is assembled through the center of the union, usually with face seals on either side of the union, to create a fluid path between the external ports on the union and bolt. A flexible hose or a rigid pipe may be connected to the union port. [1] The main advantage of the fitting is in high pressure applications (i.e. more than 50 bar).
Thread-locking fluid or threadlocker is a single-component adhesive, applied to the threads of fasteners such as screws and bolts to prevent loosening, leakage, and corrosion. Most thread-locking formulas are methacrylate -based and rely on the electrochemical activity of a metal substrate to cause polymerization of the fluid.
Electric resistance welding (ERW) is a welding process in which metal parts in contact are permanently joined by heating them with an electric current, melting the metal at the joint. [1] Electric resistance welding is widely used, for example, in manufacture of steel pipe and in assembly of bodies for automobiles. [ 2 ]
