Pipe fittings play a crucial role in pipeline systems, mainly including functions such as connection, control, direction change, diversion, sealing, and support.
The specific functions of pipe fittings include:
Connection: Pipe fittings are used to connect different parts of a pipeline to ensure smooth fluid flow.
Direction change: By using fittings such as elbows, the direction of fluid flow can be altered.
Diversion: Three way and four-way fittings can divert fluid into different pipelines.
Sealing: The design and material selection of fittings ensure the sealing of the pipeline system and prevent fluid leakage.
Support: Some fittings such as brackets and racks are used to support pipelines and prevent them from deforming due to weight or external pressure.
In addition, pipe fittings also have functions such as increasing pipeline branches, local reinforcement, and special connections, further enhancing the flexibility and reliability of the pipeline system.
