Refinery & Petrochemical
In the world of refineries and petrochemical industries, pipe fittings play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of these complex systems. EBY Fittings, a renowned name in this industry, offers a wide range of pipe fittings designed to meet the unique requirements of these sectors
- Elbows : These fittings are used to change the direction of the flow between two pipes. EBY offers elbows in various angles such as 45°, 90°, and 180° to cater to different needs
- Tees : Tees are used to distribute or collect the fluid from the run pipe. They are available in three types - equal tee, reducing tee, and barred tee
- Reducers : As the name suggests, reducers are used to reduce the pipe size from a larger to a smaller bore. EBY provides both concentric and eccentric reducers
- Caps : Caps are used to stop the flow, essentially functioning as a protective device for the open ends of pipes
- Flanges : Flanges are used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment to form a piping system. They grant easy access for cleaning, maintainance, inspection, or modification

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EBY address the challenge of hydrogen embrittlement in high-pressure refinery applications?
EBY understands that high-pressure refinery processes involving hydrogen can make fittings susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. They offer fittings manufactured from materials specifically chosen for their resistance to this type of damage and closely follow standards like NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. EBY also recommends appropriate heat treatments to further reduce any potential risks from hydrogen embrittlement
EBY recognizes the need for specialized materials in the petrochemical industry. They offer fittings made from various grades of stainless steel (304, 316, etc.) to combat common types of corrosion. For extremely harsh environments, they provide fittings in Duplex/Super Duplex steels, which offer exceptional strength and corrosion resistance
Yes, EBY offers several surface finishing options. Pickling and passivation help improve the corrosion resistance of stainless steel fittings by removing surface contaminants. Electropolishing goes a step further by creating a very smooth and polished surface, improving corrosion resistance even more and minimizing the risk of product contamination
EBY has strict systems in place for traceability and documentation of their fittings. This means they can trace each fitting back to its original materials, manufacturing steps, and quality checks. You'll receive comprehensive documentation that can include material test certificates (MTCs), inspection reports, and any other data required for your specific project or to meet industry standards
EBY understands the risks of FAC and helps mitigate it by recommending materials with better FAC resistance, analyzing flow patterns to pinpoint high-risk areas, and suggesting design changes to reduce the likelihood of FAC. They can also help implement monitoring programs to find FAC early on and may recommend specialty coatings for extra protection in the most vulnerable locations
