I would like to ask the experienced users on this forum about issues related to connecting stainless steel pipes
Thread Content
I would like to ask how to connect a stainless steel pipe with an outer diameter of 66.5 mm for the main pipeline and a stainless steel pipe with an outer diameter of 22.5 mm for the branch pipeline? Is it necessary to make holes in the main pipeline and then weld using TIG welding? Additionally, should the connections between the branch pipes use compression fittings or elbows with internal threads? Thank you for the advice!
You can connect it however you want. The key is to determine what type of product you have and what requirements it needs to meet. . . If it’s just pretend play, you can even use mud to make it. .
There is no standard specification with an outer diameter of 66.5, neither in Chinese nor American standards. Has the poster made a mistake? It is possible to customize tees, or to weld branch pedestals; these pedestals are available in butt-welded, socket-type, and threaded versions, depending on the requirements of the pipeline
It depends on the requirements. . Looking at his description, I think making a hole and welding it directly will meet the requirements. . . What kind of tee, what kind of pipe fitting? . It’s too expensive.
Just weld by making direct holes; the branch pipes should also be welded. This is even more necessary if hygiene standards are required.
Haha, in terms of the type of connection alone, any of the options mentioned above will work. The choice ultimately depends on the properties of the medium involved; not all media can be connected simply by making a bare weld. Sometimes standards do not allow this, especially for highly toxic substances...
If there are no requirements, simply make the hole and then weld it. There’s no need to use TIG welding; MIG welding will do.
I’m sorry, senior; I’m a project engineer who just started working here. . . How can these stainless steel pipes with an inner diameter of 63 mm and 22 mm be fixed to the wall?
Thank you, senior. I’m a project engineer who just started working; I used to work for the client side, but now I work for the vendor side. I’m using a tee now. But for connecting stainless steel pipes with an inner diameter of 22mm, a tee isn’t necessary, right? It seems that a crimping connection will suffice. This can save a lot of money. Also, how are these pipes fixed to the wall? Besides pipe clamps and things like that, what about footplates?
Thank you for your reply, senior. n is actually a chemical cleaner inside. But how are these main pipes and branch pipes fixed to the wall?
Thank you for your reply, senior. Now, Party B’s little components... they contain chemical cleaners inside; how are these pipes fixed to the wall? Also, can the branch pipes with a 22mm inner diameter be connected by crimping? This can save three connectors.
