Boiler Tappered Tube Plugs

Image
Boiler tube plugs for condensers, heat exchangers, and boilers are in stock for the most common tube sizes and specifications. Our Tube Plug Inventory is updated weekly below. We also have the capability in our machine shop to quickly turn around a custom size or spec that we may not happen to have in our inventory. Boiler-tappered tube plugs are a type of solderless plug that is used to connect electrical devices such as electric motors, fans, and light bulbs. They are mainly used for industrial and commercial applications. A Tappered Tube Plug is a soldered plug that uses a threaded metal tube to attach it to the other end of an electrical cord. It is used in electric motors, light bulbs, fans, and other electrical devices which need a direct connection to an electrical outlet.  The advantage of a Tappered pipe-type plug is that they are compatible with most electric outlets. The only drawback is the possibility of short circuits. A Tappered Tube Plug has a small hole on one end...

What are the different grades of forged fittings?

Image
  What is a forged fitting? Pipe fittings made from forged carbon steel are known as forged steel fittings. The forging process is used to create very strong fittings. Carbon steel is heated to molten temperatures and inserted into dies. Forged steel fittings are then machined using the heated steel. A wide variety of equipment is connected with forged fittings, including pumps, valves, pipes, and many others. There are two main types of these fittings, threaded fittings and socket weld fittings, which are used to connect pipes with fittings by screwing them together. In addition to being available in a variety of materials and grades, these forged fittings are widely available. The use of forged fittings is to link pipes, pumps, valves, etc. to construct piping systems that are smaller than 2 or 4 inches in diameter. Forged fittings are generally of two types: socket-weld fittings which are welded to pipes and threaded fittings which are screwed onto pipes. ASME B16.11, MSS SP 75,...

The Difference Between Forged Flanges and Cast Flanges

Image
We have talked commonly about forged steel flanges, forged tube, what is forged metal, casting flange, what causes cast, casting porosity, cast union, but today lets understand the difference between forged and cast along with the advantages and disadvantages of forging over casting. Casting flange is distinguished from several other various methods by easy accessibility, ease of obtaining intricate forms of a machined surface, low price, ability for using special technologies to create highly precise castings, the surface without handling that provides the suitable finish, and simplicity of trying to cast up to form at a smaller price than forging flange. However, trying to cast flange is prone to flaws and non dense zones, and traditional technology generally could not guarantee the quality in solid corrosive environment and highly pressurized situations. Although forging machinery is typically not able to fully forge more complicated workpieces and requires additional processing,...

What Are Different Grades of Carbon Steel Flanges?

Image
  There are a number of components used in the production of Carbon Steel Pipe Flanges and end flange connectors, but iron and carbon steel are the most important ones. As the name suggests, these flanges are used to connect pipes to valves, pressure vessels, pumps, or other equipment. Depending on the ratio of materials used in steel products, such as carbon content, there are different grades of steel products. There are many grades of carbon steel flanges available on the market today, including ASTM A105, ASTM A182, ASTM A694, ASTM A516, and ASTM A350 are some of the most popular. As far as the carbon content of carbon steel flanges is concerned, it ranges from 1% to 2.1% in terms of weight. During the heat treatment process, the steel becomes stiffer and sturdier as a result of an increase in carbon element content, and it also becomes less ductile as a result. In the absence of heat treatment, higher carbon will have a negative impact on the weldability of the material. CARB...

Marking & Packing Inconel Forged Fitting

Image
  We are also Inconel manufacturers. In order to produce goods of international standards, we procure all our raw materials from approved stockiest. These materials are then again checked during the manufacturing process for physical & chemical properties, and also for precision and thread fittings by our quality control engineers. All goods produced, come with a manufacturing test certificate and guarantee certificate. Our material is regularly inspected & approved by various inspection Agencies like EIL, Gulf Lloyds, Bureau Veritas, Tata Consultants, SGS, TUV, Bax Counsel, Velosi, TOYO, UDHE, and Kvaerner. Further we have tie up with Govt. approved laboratory to carry out immediate test for Chemical, Physical & other Supplementary Test required as per standard specifications. As we are maintaining bulk stock in every item, we can arrange supplies in time and that too at the most competitive rate. Packing: We take great care of packing because we are aware of how impo...

Forged fittings vs Buttweld Fittings

Image
While Buttweld Fittings are utilized for greater diameter pipe, forged fittings are utilized for pipe systems with dimensions less than 2 or 4 inches (4′′ for 2000#/3000# fittings and 2′′ for 6000#/9000# fittings). These two primary categories of forged steel parts are threaded fittings and socket weld fittings, that are welded to pipes using fillet welders. Forged steel pipe fittings fit ASME B36.10 and ASME B36.19 alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and high nickel alloy tubes of smaller diameter size are covered by the ASME B16.11, MSS SP 75, MSS SP 83, and MSS SP 95 requirements. The desired shape of forged steel fittings such as forged flanges etc is achieved through machining solid blocks of steel inside the tolerances set forth by the relevant requirements.  However, seamless or welded steel pipes are required to be cut, bent, and curved in order to make buttweld fittings. Forged Fittings Types With bore sizes ranging from 1/8 to 4 inches and ratings ranging from 20...

A Guide to Hose Clamps

Image
  What are Hose Clamps? Hose clamps are used to secure hoses to fittings, so that when they are clamped down it prevents any fluid leaking from the hose at the connection points because they prevent the hose from slipping. A wide range of attachments are available, ranging from car engines to bathroom fittings. However, hose clamps can be used in a wide variety of different industries for the purpose of securing the transportation of products, liquids, gases, and chemicals in a variety of situations. A hose clamp can be categorized into four general categories: screw/band, spring, wire, and ear. A different hose clamp is used for different types of hoses in accordance with the type of attachment found at each end of the hose. Hose clamps: How Do They Work? An edge of a hose is first clamped with a hose clamp. Once the hose edge has been placed around a choice object, it is closed. This is the stage where the clamp needs to be tightened, ensuring that no air escapes from inside the...
