Introduction to Types and Functional Characteristics of Stainless Steel Joints

Stainless steel joints are components for connecting pipelines, widely used in industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical, papermaking, shipbuilding, food, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals. There are various types of stainless steel joints, including elbows, tees, tees, fittings, flanges, sleeves, etc. Each type of joint has its own specific functional characteristics. Below, I will introduce several common types and functional characteristics of stainless steel joints.

Elbow: Stainless steel elbow is a type of joint used to change the direction of pipeline flow, mainly divided into two types: 90 degree elbow and 45 degree elbow. Its characteristics are beautiful appearance, reasonable structure, convenient connection, which can reduce the resistance during pipeline operation and improve the flow performance of the pipeline.

Three way: Stainless steel three way is a joint used to connect three pipes, mainly divided into two types: average branch and eccentric branch. Its characteristics are simple structure, easy installation, flexible use, and the ability to connect and divert multiple pipelines.

Four way: Threaded stainless steel hose joint is a type of joint used to connect four pipes, mainly divided into two types: equal diameter four way and reducing diameter four way. Its characteristics are diverse connection methods, wide applicability, and the ability to achieve functions such as diversion, merging, and splitting of pipeline systems.

Pipe fittings: Stainless steel pipe fittings are a type of joint used to connect pipes of different specifications, mainly including equal diameter fittings, reducing fittings, bent pipes, etc. Its characteristics are flexible connection methods and strong applicability, which can meet the connectivity and transfer needs of different pipeline systems.

Flange: Stainless steel flange is a type of joint used to connect pipelines and equipment, mainly including butt welded flange, threaded flange, blind flange, etc. Its characteristics are good connection sealing, high load-bearing capacity, and high reliability, and it is widely used in important pipeline systems.

Sleeve: Stainless steel card sleeve tee joint is a type of joint used to connect pipe fittings and welded joints, mainly divided into old style sleeves and new style sleeves. Its characteristics are easy installation, high reliability, and wide applicability, making it an important connecting component of pipeline systems.

In general, stainless steel joints have a wide variety of types and different functional characteristics, which can meet the connection needs of different pipeline systems. They have the advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and strong pressure resistance, and are an indispensable and important component of pipeline engineering.
