Pipes and fittings are used extensively in plumbing systems for joining the tubing sections as well as straight pipes which can be adapted to numerous shapes and sizes. In some cases, they can also be implemented for regulating or measuring the fluid flow. Although plumbing is frequently used for the smooth conveyance of water, gas or liquids in a domestic environment, the pipes and fittings are more associated with high performance transportation of liquids that are used in special applications.

There are a wide range of materials that are used for the purpose of manufacturing pipes as well as fitting components. Depending on the specific functions you need them for; you can go with one type of pipe and fitting or the other Butt Weld Pipe Fittings. The materials that are most commonly used for the manufacturing of pipes and fittings include:

Pipe Jointing Systems

• Stainless steel
• Carbon steel
• Alloy steel
• Malleable iron
• Low temperature carbon steel
• Non-ferrous metals, like cupro-nickel, inconel and incoloy
• Non-metallic materials, like tempered glass, ABS, PVC, HDPE and GRE

Generally, the material that is used for the Pipe Jointing Systems is the same as that used for the pipe that is to be connected, like copper, steel, CPVC, PVC or ABS. Hence any material you choose for your pipe and fittings needs to be perfectly compatible with rest of the piping system, fluid to be moved as well as the temperature and pressure both inside as well as outside. Other factors like fire hazards, earthquake resistance, pressure resistance and other factors may also affect your choice of pipe fitting material.
