The Press fitting systems play an essential role in plumbing processes. They can be used to join the sections of pipes; it could be of the same or different diameters e.g., for the case of reducers. Also, to alter the direction of flow e.g., for the instance of elbows. Or even regulate or maintain the flow like how the valves are used. Fittings are also used to sack, seal, or close pipes e.g., for the case of plugs or caps. The primary purpose it serves is the connection of several pipelines. It offers a tight joint, which was never possible before with the conventional techniques like welding. The traditional methods were harmful in many ways, but the press-fits provides a more reliable connection with no side-effects at all.
Materials and its benefits
There are also different materials of press-fits available in the market, including stainless steel, copper, carbon, plastic, etc. All these press-fits serve various benefits, but inox is the most popular one. The press-fits can survive for a longer time, they are heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, erosion-resistant, hygienic in nature, and can even withstand extreme temperatures. These are suitable for drinking water as its inner walls are sanitary and keep the water purified. The press-fit pipes can bear high pressure of water as well.
Uses
From water to gas to petroleum to chemicals, press-fitting systems have a wide range of applications in different sectors. They are used for both liquid and gaseous mediums. They make tighter connections, so there are fewer chances of any leakage. It is used for compressed air, natural gases, hazardous chemicals (after going through various tests and approvals), mineral oils. Moreover, because of its heat-resistant properties, they are also suitable for fire extinguishing systems and for heat installations. Because of its hygienic nature, it is utilized in pharmaceutical companies, food industries, hospitals, and all other factories where taking care of hygiene is essential.
Why are press-fits preferred over the Conventional Techniques?
The Press-fitting system is safe, secure, and make very stronger connections that were never possible before. The press-fits and time-saving, energy-saving, and cost-effective at the same time. These dynamic press-fits offers a tighter connection without demanding any extra hard work. There is no involvement of fire to manufacture it like the conventional techniques had. There are two main types of the press-fits, the M profile press fittings, and V profile press fittings. Both of the press-fits offers the same benefits but have a little structural difference. The repairs made with the press-fits are quick, which saves your precious time. These durable press-fit systems are suitable for large-scale pipe systems.
