Stainless Steel 15-5ph vs 17-4ph Round Bars & Rods

Image
  What are stainless steel 15-5ph Round Bars & Rods? There are many types of stainless steel round bars made with 15-5ph stainless steel, which are variations of 17-4 chrome nickel copper precipitation hardening steel. It has high strength and good corrosion resistance. A leading manufacturer of 15-5 Ph Rod products in different dimensions, Micro Metals is one of the leading suppliers and manufacturers of this type of stainless steel alloy. Fasteners, fittings, gears, aircraft parts, and high pressure, corrosion-prone parts are all made from these materials. Valves made up of the AMS 5659 15-5PH Flat Bar are common in engine parts and in other applications as well. It is important to note that the reduced delta ferrite in the bars ensures that the toughness is increased. There are different conditions for different bars, such as H900, H1025, and H1075. Each of these has a different yield and tensile strength. DIN 1.4545 Hex Bars have yield strength ranging from 75 to 170 ksi w...

Types of Pipe Fittings and Their Uses

Image
What Are Pipe Fittings? Pipe fittings are used in plumbing systems to connect pipes that are of the same size or different sizes; they control the flow of liquid in the pipes. There are various types of pipe fittings used in plumbing systems that serve their purpose. In general, brass or copper fittings are available and can be used with most pipe materials, liquid flowing nature, pressure, and temperature.  The purpose of pipe fittings in a plumbing system is to connect one pipe to another of the same or different size to increase the length of the pipe or change the direction of the flow. The types of pipe fittings and purposes are as follows: Elbows: In general, an elbow is a device used to change the direction of liquid flow between two pipes. If the two pipes have a different diameter then the elbow is called a reducer. Elbows are available in two different angles, the 90 degree and the 45 degree angles. Pipes are usually threaded with the elbows or they are welded together i...

Condenser vs Heat Exchanger Tube Plugs

Image
What is a Condenser? Condensers are different types of heat exchangers, which makes it easier to understand what the difference between a Heat Exchanger and a condenser is. A condenser uses cooling to condense gaseous substances into liquids. While the latent heat is transferred to the surrounding environment, it is usually air or cooling water used in condensers. This is why condensers are commonly used in industrial systems to resist heat efficiently. You can get condensers in a variety of sizes, ranging from small, pocket-sized units to large, industrial-scale units that are used in plants and factories. You can also have them designed in a variety of ways as well. An example of a condenser is a refrigerator that removes heat from the internal system and disperses it outside. An air conditioner is another example of an air conditioner with a condenser. A condenser is used in steam power plants, distillation, and a variety of other heat-exchange processes. There are three main types...

Best Scupper Box Gutter Types: 7 Factors

Image
  What is a scupper box? There are many different types of Drainage Devices , which can be used to allow rainwater to pass through a wall and down a roof, such as scupper boxes. There are a number of different kinds of these boxes, and they can vary in size, shape, and color. Most of these boxes are made from metal and are either soldered or welded. They can be made from copper or galvanized steel and are usually installed flush with the roof membrane with a sealed faceplate. The purpose of a scupper is not only to prevent water from entering a building, but also to serve as a decorative finish. Although most scuppers are constructed of copper, other materials are also acceptable. It is necessary, for example, to have a rectangular scupper that is at least four inches high in order to prevent water from spilling into the roof. In addition to the metal scupper box, the sealant also deteriorates over time, which is vital for preventing roof leaks because it prevents water from backin...

Types of Perforated Sheets and Its Benefits

Image
  What are perforated sheets? Perforated sheets are available in mild steel or carbon steel, with the perforations allowing the passage of light, air, liquid, and sound through the openings provided by the perforations. A unique feature of this metal is that it is very resistant and lightweight to corrosion, it has a milled finish and does not have a glossy finish, and it is available in a variety of sizes and shapes with punches. Perforated Sheets, also known as perforated metal sheets, are screens or sheets with several holes, which can be made by hand or by machine, depending on the application of the sheet. The stamping or punching techniques make these holes on the metal sheet and the material used to design the sheet can differ according to the specifications and applications of the sheet. Stainless steel, aluminum, and copper are some of the materials that are used to manufacture perforated sheets, and depending on the specifications, the perforations are arranged in differ...

A Brief Overview on Pressure Vessel Fabrication

Image
  The term Pressure Vessels refers to enclosed containers that offer the capability of accommodating liquids, vapors, and gases at a pressure that is significantly higher or lower than that of the ambient air pressure. It is widely used in a wide range of industries, such as the petrochemical industry, the oil and gas industry, the chemical industry, and the food processing industry. There are many types of pressure vessels, such as reactors, flash drums, separators, and heat exchangers, which come under the umbrella of pressure vessels. The purpose of pressure vessels is to store liquids or gases in an environment where leaks can be prevented. These containers have been produced in a wide range of sizes and shapes for various purposes. A typical pressure vessel model is a long cylinder with two heads. The geometries preferred for these models are spherical, conical, and cylindrical. In addition, these systems have differing operating temperatures as well as working at internal pr...

The Ultimate Guide To Plastic Pipe Caps

Image
  Exactly how do plastic pipe caps work? It is easy to install and apply Plastic Pipe Caps to Pipes and Tubes of various kinds, including steel pipes, aluminum pipes, brass pipes, copper pipes, chrome pipes, fiberglass pipes, and others. For pipe manufacturers and storage facilities, pipe caps play an important role in preventing damage to their pipes. In order to fit perfectly around pipe threads, bevel ends, and open pipe ends, plastic pipe caps are specially designed to fit snugly around them. They seal the pipe ends when they are installed correctly, preventing them from leaking and being affected by substances from the outside. Whether metal or plastic, plumbing pipes and tubes require some type of support to help them carry the weight of the fluids passing through and to minimize vibration. Without proper support, plastic pipes may sag or shift out of place. Narrow pipe and tubing requires more support than larger-diameter pipes, but in general, supports should be placed at ...

Forged Flanges Vs Plate Flanges ?

Image
  What are forged flanges? A Forged Flange combines two separate pieces of machinery into one. They can serve as an extension to the structure so that it becomes stronger. In addition to connecting sheets, pumps, pipes, and structures that require an intermediate point of connection, industrial flanges have many other applications. What are plate flanges? In the case of the plate flange, it is a flat, circular disk that is welded to the end of a steel pipe and that allows it to be bolted to another pipe. Usually, the two flange plates are attached to one another with a gasket between them, which is an integral part of most fuel pipelines and water pipelines.   Flange can either be forged or cast. Depending on the application for your flange, both manufacturing methods have their advantages and disadvantages.  Advantages and disadvantages of Forged flanges: Flanges made of forged steel are more precise and perform better than cast flanges, especially in high temperature a...
