Grooved pipe
fitting consists of groove fitting, groove coupling, groove outlet and groove
replacement part. Though the concept of grooved pipe system was started in the
early 20th century; it is still being used to join the pipes in both
wet and dry system. They provide some flexibility in terms of movement and
deflection to the piping system. Because of this technology, the ways to join
pipes are now faster, easier, and safer.
The grooved pipes consist of four main elements
· Gasket
· Coupling housing
· Grooved tube
· Nut and bolts
The grooved fittings
in stainless steel have many beneficial properties and that is the reason why
SS grooved fittings has become popular and are used to a great extent in many
different applications. The stainless steel grooved fittings are the ideal choice for fittings, flanges, and
pipes.
Here are some on the advantages of SS grooved fittings
1.
They can withstand extreme
temperature conditions
One of the best advantages of stainless steel fittings is that some
fundamentals of the material can easily resist extreme temperatures. Some
fundamentals of the material can sustain their strength at high temperature;
others can perform appropriately in a cold atmosphere.
2.
Resistant to corrosion
Stainless steel fittings have the competence to hold up against
corrosion. The chromium element in the stainless steel generally consists of
about 10% of the overall steel material and it offers the stainless steel this
beneficial property. When the steel is exposed to oxygen, the chromium element
forms an invisible and thin coating on the surface of the steel. The stainless
steel grooved fittings and pipes are excellent choices in a corrosive setting
because of its resistance to water and air and its property to get transformed
rapidly when dented.
Excellent weight and
strength
Now you know that stainless steel can easily endure high temperature
and corrosion damage, less of it is required in contrast to other materials.
This means that when you choose Stainless steel grooved fittings, your pipes
can be made thinner in size, making the setting up easier and also decreasing
the overall costs of materials.
4. Reliability
The stainless steel grooved fittings are more reliable than other
forms of fittings and pipe joining because the design in SS grooved fittings
are generally leak-tight and secure. Without being concerned about the
fatiguing gasket, the grooved mechanical fitting systems can be easily
depressurized and pressurized repeatedly.
5. Economical and practical
The
stainless steel grooved fittings can be installed faster than traditional
methods like welding, flanging or threading. SS grooved fittings also provides
a reduction in total costs as it reduces the labour time.
Stainless steel
is available in different finishes and in addition, it's easy to maintain. All
these factors and characteristics combine to give stainless steel grooved
fittings a durable appearance.
