What is IPS Piping?

IPS simply means Iron Pipe Size. Piping is a general term used to describe any hollow, cylindrical carrier of liquids. Many piping materials are used to produce both pipe and tubing. Piping and tubing made of the same materials generally use different kinds of fittings. All piping made to the OD (Outside Diameter) of wrought iron pipe is referred to as being Iron Pipe Size, or IPS. The OD of most pipes is the controlling dimension in order to match with fittings. When the term OD or (Outside Diameter) is used, the dimension being referred to is always the actual diameter unless proceeded by the phrase "nominal". Nominal size is a term used for the comparative sizes of piping and tubing rather than the actual dimensions. Like 3/4″ or 1″. Nominal sizes of piping in sprinkler systems are not the actual sizes and are given in inches and fractions of an inch. For a given NPS (Nominal Pipe Size), the OD stays fixed and the wall thickness increases with schedule. For example, you go to the home improvement store to buy some sprinkler pipe and you find Schedule 40 and Class 200 sprinkler pipe available. Both pipes will have the same OD(Outside Diameter), but the Schedule 40 pipe will have a thicker inner wall than the Class 200. Schedule 80 pipe will be thicker than Schedule 40 pipe but will also have the same OD. The gray 1/2″ riser nipples you buy for sprinkler risers in flower areas are often Schedule 80 nipples. So even though IPS is somewhat of a dinosaur term, it is still used when referring to the pipe size of the PVC pipe you are buying at the home improvement store. What makes it even nicer is that the Schedule 40 fittings you buy will fit all of these pipes, because all that is changing is the pipe thickness and not the OD (Outside Diameter) of the pipe.

Different Types of Flanges Used in Piping Applications?

Flanges are piping equipment that is used to connect different pipes and valves. Flanges are attached to the end of a pipe, where another pipe is to be attached. Flanges are used to create a piping system, where they are used to change direction or connect two different valves or pipes.The Flange types are classified on the basis of application and grade of metal used for the production of Flange Face. Each type of flanges has a different purpose than the other. Here are various types of flanges,Types of Flanges: -1. Threaded Flanges: - The Threaded flanges have threads under their bore. They are also known as Screwed Flanges. The Thread is used to fix the pipes, which also have threading on their end. They are the easiest to fit Flanges but are not suitable for high-temperature applications. They are also not suggested for high-pressure applications.2. Slip-on Flanges: - Slip-on Flanges are made with holes that match the outer diameter of a pipe. The pipe is passed through the hole and fillet welded from both sides. Low pressure and low-temperature applications are suitable for this kind of flange joint. Slip-on flanges are generally forged and come with a hub. Large sizes are used to connect big bore pipes with storage tanks.3. Socket-Weld Flanges: -Usually used only for Low pressure and temperature applications, Socket-Weld Flanges have a female socket. A pipe is fitted through the female socket in the Flange.4. Lap-Joint Flanges: -Lap-joint flanges are made in two components, which include a stub-end and a loose backing flange. Lap-joint Flange is used for applications that require frequent dismantling. They are designed to not wear from frequent modifications.5. Blind-Flanges: - These Flanges are used as a termination point to a piping system. Blind-Flanges have a blank surface with a bolt point to fit a pipe.6. Spectacle blind flanges: Spectacle Blinds, generally referred to as SB, are Flanges that are applied to systems that require regular separation from their installation. Spectacle blinds are made from two discs, that are attached to each other. One of the discs in SB Flanges is a ring and the other is a solid plate.7. Long weld neck flanges: Long Neck Welding Flanges are made with a circular fitting and a bulging rim around the circumference. They are similar to standard Welding Neck flanges but with a particularly long neck. They are generally not used for pipes but in processing plants.8. Orifice Flange: Orifice Flanges are used to measure the flow rate of liquids or gases in the pipeline. They are used with orifice meters and are suitable for all intensive weld neck flanges with extra machining.9. The Flat-Face flange: Flat Face Flanges frequently are used where casting is used to make mating flange or flanged fitting. Similar to a bolting circle face, they have a gasket surface in the same plane.10. Ring Type Joint: The ring Type Joint flange, generally known as RTJ, is made by putting some grooves cut on their faces. They seal when the Bolts are tightened. These bolts compress the gasket into the grooves. These Flanges are typically used for high pressure and high-temperature services.11. Raised Face: The Raised Face Flanges are high-pressure flanges that have a raised face due to gasket surfaces are raised above the bolting circle face. They are widely used in process plant applications because of their increased pressure containment capability.12. Tongue & Groove: The Touch and groove Flanges consist of two flanges, where one face consists a ring machined onto the flange and the other contains a depression matching the ring on the other. These are commonly found on pump covers and Valve Bonnets.


What do PVC pipe fittings do?

PVC pipe fittings are used to connect and join different sections of PVC pipes together. They provide a secure and leak-proof connection, allowing for the smooth flow of liquids or gases through the pipes. These fittings come in various shapes and sizes, such as elbows, tees, couplings, and adapters, and they can be used for a wide range of applications, including plumbing, irrigation, and construction.

What is mean by asme b16.5 class?

ASME B16.5 refers to a standard that covers pipe flanges and flanged fittings for sizes ranging from ½ inch to 24 inches in nominal pipe size. The "class" designation indicates the pressure-temperature ratings of the flanges, with common classes being 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. Each class corresponds to specific pressure limits at designated temperatures, ensuring that flanges can safely handle the operating conditions of the piping system.
