EBY Fittings, a leading name in the shipbuilding industry, has been at the forefront of providing high-quality fittings and flanges for ship construction. With a strong commitment to quality, safety, and innovation, EBY Fittings has been instrumental in shaping the modern shipbuilding industry

INDUSTRY

Ship Building

We use various materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, nickel alloys, and duplex and super duplex steel in Ship Building. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability, and resistance to the harsh marine environment, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the ships

EBY Fittings’ extensive range of products caters to the diverse needs of the shipbuilding industry. From pipe fittings and flanges to other essential components, EBY Fittings ensures that every part contributes to the overall performance and safety of the ship

Types of Pipe Fittings used in Ship Building ?

Elbows

Tees

Cross

Reducer

Cap and Plug

  • Elbows : These are used to change the direction of the conduit. They are available in various angles such as 45-degree and 90-degree to accommodate different layout requirements
  • Tee : These are used to split the conduit into two directions. They are useful in situations where power or signals need to be distributed to multiple areas of the ship
  • Cross : These are used to split the conduit into three or four directions. They are typically used in complex electrical layouts
  • Reducer : These are used to connect two sections of conduit with different diameters. They are useful in situations where the conduit size needs to be reduced to fit into a smaller area
  • Cap and Plug : These are used to seal off unused sections of conduit to prevent the ingress of water, dust, or other contaminants

Key Materials Used by EBY Fittings in Ship Building Industry

SS / Duplex & Super Duplex

Stainless Steel is known for its corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility. It is often used in the construction of ship components that are exposed to harsh marine environments. Duplex and Super Duplex Steel are types of stainless steel that offer even greater strength and corrosion resistance

Factors to Consider When Choosing Pipe Fittings and Flanges in Ship Building Industry

  • Material : The material of the pipe fittings and flanges should be chosen based on the environment they will be exposed to. For example, stainless steel, alloy steel, and nickel alloys are often used for their strength and resistance to corrosion
  • Size and Shape : The size and shape of the fittings and flanges should match the pipes they will be connected to. This is crucial for ensuring a secure and leak-free connection
  • Pressure Rating : The fittings and flanges should have a pressure rating that matches or exceeds the pressure of the system they will be installed in. This is important for preventing leaks and failures
  • Temperature Resistance : The fittings and flanges should be able to withstand the temperatures they will be exposed to. This is especially important in systems that carry hot fluids
  • Standards Compliance : The fittings and flanges should comply with relevant industry standards. This ensures their quality, safety, and compatibility with other components
  • Cost : While it’s important to choose high-quality fittings and flanges, cost is also a factor. The chosen components should be within the project’s budget while still meeting all other requirements
