Butt Weld Pipe Fittings

Butt Weld Pipe Fittings are a type of fittings that use butt welding technique by which two pieces of metallic pipes or pipes fittings are joined end-to-end without overlap and joined by welding. In the butt welding the surface of the two separate fittings are kept on the same plane with the welding completely aligned with the place of the metal work pieces. Butt weld pipe fittings include different types of components, such as elbows, reducers, tees, caps, adapters and others. Different types of fittings have different application requirements in pipelines. For instance, an elbow is used to turn the pipe into a different direction to change the flow of liquid or gas. Similarly, a pipe reducer is used to reduce the size of pipe from large diameter size to small diameter size to create more pressure at the outlet.

For manufacturing butt weld pipe fittings, the most common material used is carbon steel. However, different grades of stainless steel are also used for the production of these fittings. The fittings are robust, structurally strong, resistant to corrosion and rusting.

Types of Butt Weld Pipe Fittings

Leta s take a look at some of the most common types of Butt Weld Pipe Fittings:

Elbow a an elbow is designed for turning the direction of flow of liquid or gas. The elbow is designed in many different shapes for turning the direction of flow at different angles, such as 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees. The 90^o elbow turns the direction of flow perpendicularly while the 180^o one changes the direction in exactly opposite direction.

Tee a a butt weld tee is used for branching off the flow at 90o. It allows flow from one direction to be branched in two separate directions.

Reducer a A pipe reducer is used to reduce the size of pipe within a piping system. The reducer comes in mainly two types: concentric reducer and eccentric reducer. A concentric reducer allows the welding of two different sized pipes with the same centre line while the eccentric reducer is designed for welding different sized pipes with off centre line.

Adapter a a butt weld adapter is a type of fitting by which one end of a tube or pipe is welded with one end of the adapter and the other end is provided with standard pipe connection.

Butt Weld Pipe Fittings are used in laying pipelines across many industries apart from water pipelines. The major industries include petrochemical, chemical, oil refineries, gas plants and others.
