What is Socket weld?
A socket weld is a pipe attachment detail in which a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of a valve or fitting, and then fillet welded between its outside diameter and the fitting end. Generally used for piping whose nominal diameter is 2 inches (50 mm) or smaller.
How do you join polyethylene pipe to PVC pipe?
It depends on the size of PVC. For smaller PVC you can buy fittings that glue onto the PVC and allow a thread x barb fitting to be installed. For larger pipe you should get a brass compression fitting that clamps down on the PVC and adapts to a thread x barb fitting.
How do you calculate the surface area of pipe fitting?
To calculate the surface area of a pipe fitting, you need to use the formula 3.14 x L x D. The L stands for the length of the pipe and the D is the diameter of the pipe.
How does pipe diameter affect flow rate?
Smaller diameter = Greater pressure
What is a pipe fitting that join a smaller to a larger pipe what is it called?
You would have to get the larger sizes cuppler with a reducer to the smaller size and then join it together
What is a pipe fitting that changes diameter of a pipe?
it's called a reducer.concentric/eccentric.eccentric changes the center line.concentric stays the same just reduces the pipe size
When a steadily flowing gas flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe what happens to its speed its pressure and the spacing between its streamlines?
When a steadily flowing gas flows from a larger diameter pipe to a smaller diameter pipe the speed of gas is decreased and pressure become increased and the spacing between the streamlines less and the streamlines come very close to each other.
What does tos stand for in pipe fitting?
what are some pipe fitting abb
What is Id versus od size in copper fittings?
id means inside diameter, od means outside diameter, copper pipe and tubing is measured by the od, therefore the od the pipe or tubing will be the same as the id of the fitting
What does mean by Elbow 45 butt weld LR?
Elbow is a fitting used to change pipe direction, 45 degrees in this case, LR is referred as "long Radius" ( normally most pipes, unless you ask for SR, short radius). Butt weld refers to welding 2 ends from two separate fittings or pipe. Both ends are beveled (30 degrees is tapered from inside pipe diameter to outside pipe diameter on pipe/fitting connections)
What is 50NB pipe?
NB = Nominal Bore. Bore is the internal diameter of the pipe. The 50 is referring to 50mm (5cm). So it boils down to a pipe with an internal diameter of 50mm.
What is the difference between a Butt weld and a socket weld?
A butt weld is where the diameter of the pipes welded together are the same, a socket weld is where a larger diameter pipe is fitted into a smaller one. In making a butt weld, the pipes (or pipe and fitting) usually have an angle machined or ground into the outside corner, so when they are placed together face-face, there is a circumferential V shaped gap serving as the weld prep. In a socket weld, the pipe is inserted into the socket, backed off slightly to make a gap between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the socket, and the weld is made around the outside diameter of the socket to the outside diameter of the pipe. The gap at the bottom of the pipe prevents thermal expansion from stressing the joint during or after welding.
