Types of Pipe Fittings used in Chemical Industry

Elbows

Tees

Reducers

Caps

Flanges

Valves

  • Elbows : These fittings, available in angles such as 45°, 90°, and 180°, are used to change the direction of the flow between two pipes. They are essential for navigating the complex piping systems often found in chemical plants
  • Tees : Tees are used to distribute or collect the fluid from the main pipe. They come in three types - equal tee, reducing tee, and barred tee, each serving a specific purpose in the chemical industry
  • Reducers : Reducers are used to reduce the pipe size from a larger to a smaller bore, ensuring a smooth and efficient flow of chemicals. 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. They are crucial for maintaining safety standards in the chemical industry
  • Flanges : Flanges are used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment to form a piping system. They provide easy access for cleaning, inspection, or modification, which is vital in the chemical industry
  • Valves : Valves control the flow of chemicals through the pipes. EBY offers a variety of valves, including ball valves, check valves, and butterfly valves, each serving a specific purpose
