The advantages of stainless steel grooved pipe fittings connection
1The connection of grooved pipe fittings is simple
The connection operation of stainless steel grooved pipe fittings is very simple and does not require special professional skills. Ordinary workers can operate it after simple training. This is because the product has integrated a large number of sophisticated technical components into the finished product in a factory-like manner. The connection of pipe fittings only takes a few minutes.***It has maximally simplified the technical difficulty of on-site operations, saved working hours, thereby stabilizing the project quality and improving work efficiency. This is also the overall direction of the development of installation technology.
The traditional pipe connection methods of welding and flange connection not only require welders with corresponding skills, but also are time-consuming, difficult for workers to operate, and there is pollution from welding fumes. Due to the differences in operating space and welding skills, both the welding quality and appearance are difficult to achieve satisfactory results, thereby affecting the overall quality of the project. In addition, as grooved pipe fittings are finished products, the operation space required on site is small. They can truly be installed against walls and corners, greatly reducing the operation difficulty, thereby saving floor space and enhancing the effect of pipeline installation.
2Grooved pipe fittings do not require secondary treatment
The connection of stainless steel grooved pipe fittings only uses a grooving machine to extrude a groove on the outer surface of the connected pipe without damaging the inner wall structure of the pipe. This is a unique technical advantage of grooved pipe fitting connection. If traditional welding operations are adopted, many pipes with anti-corrosion coatings on the inner walls will be damaged. Therefore, the regulations stipulate that galvanized pipes, lined steel pipes, steel-plastic composite pipes, etc. shall not be connected by welding or flange connection; otherwise, secondary treatment is required.
3The connection construction of grooved pipe fittings is safe
By adopting the grooved pipe fitting connection technology, only a cutting machine, a grooving machine and a wrench for tightening bolts are needed on site, making the construction organization convenient. However, when welding and flange connection are adopted, complex power cables, cutting tools, welding machines, as well as oxygen and acetylene gas cylinders, etc. need to be equipped. This brings complexity to the construction organization and also poses potential risks of electric leakage and fire. At the same time, the welding slag produced by welding and gas cutting inevitably falls into the interior of the pipeline. During use, it is easy to cause blockage of pipeline valves and even equipment, and also pollute the water quality inside the pipe.
In addition, welding and flange connections inevitably require long-term and high-intensity high-altitude operations, which are also prone to production safety accidents.
4Grooved pipe fittings are convenient to maintain
The connection method of stainless steel grooved pipe fittings has a unique flexible feature, which enables the pipeline to have the functions of anti-vibration, anti-contraction and anti-expansion. Compared with welding and flange connection, the stability of the pipeline system is increased, and it is more suitable for temperature changes, thereby protecting the pipeline valves and reducing the damage of pipeline stress to structural components.
Due to the simple connection operation of grooved pipe fittings, the required operating space is reduced, which brings many convenient conditions for future maintenance. When the pipeline needs to be repaired or replaced, simply loosen the two clamps and a section of the pipeline can be replaced, rotated or modified at will. There is no need to damage the surrounding walls, which reduces the maintenance time and cost.
