The wall thickness of pipe fittings is usually greater than that of pipes. This is because fittings play a connecting and fixing role in pipeline systems, requiring them to withstand greater pressure and torque. Therefore, their wall thickness design is usually thicker than that of pipes to ensure safety and service life.
Reasons for the difference in wall thickness between fittings and pipes
Safety and durability: Pipe fittings need to withstand pressure and torque during connection, so their wall thickness design needs to be thicker to ensure that they will not be damaged by external forces during use.
Manufacturing standard: According to national standards, for pipes and fittings of the same caliber, the wall thickness of the fittings should be thicker than that of the pipes. This is to ensure that the fittings can better withstand various stresses during use and extend their service life.
