With the rapid development of society and the impact of the high pressure pipe
fittings under the promotion of our economy, we have also made a great impact.
However, the pressure of competition in the market is also increasing. As a downstream
industry in the food, drug processing and packaging industries, Increased benefits.
High-pressure pipe fitting originated in the 1980s, is a new industry. After more than 20
years of exploration and development, it has begun to take shape. High-pressure pipe
fitting is a kind of pipe fittings, mainly made of stainless steel.
High-pressure pipe fitting is a kind of pipe used for pipe bend. In all the pipe fittings used
in the system, a large proportion, about 80%. In general, different forming processes for
elbows of different materials or wall thicknesses are chosen. Common manufacturer of
seamless elbow forming process has a hot push, stamping, extrusion and so on.

Such fittings include: pipe elbow (45°& 90°), pipe tee, pipe cross, pipe cap, half coupling,
coupling, and so on. Alll these forged fittings must withstand high pressure,so we call
them high pressure forged fittings.
Pipe Caps
Pipe Caps act as protective device and are designed to protect pipe ends of various
shapes. The main purpose of using pipe caps is to waterproof the connections. They are
also used to close the the ends of hydraulic or pneumatic pipes and tubes. They are used
in the plumbing apparatus of domestic, commercial and industrial water supply lines,
machinery and processing equipment etc. They are also fitted on water pump lines with
the sole purpose of removing air blocks. Pipe caps are highly demanded as an important
category of pipe fittings.

Round Caps: Popular features of round caps are: flange, slotted head, knurled or faceted
head, retaining head, and tear tab. A flange is meant for easy removal or additional
protection of pipe or tube surfaces. Flanges also help to prevent accidental pushing away
of the plug through the opening. Slotted caps can be easily installed or removed with the
help of a screwdriver. Knurled or faceted heads are usually designed for threaded caps
and plugs only. Knurls or facets offer hassle free installation and removal. Pipe caps
provided with a tear-tab or strip are easy to remove.
B.
Square or Rectangular Cap: For square or rectangular caps, length and width are the
most important dimensions to consider. For rectangular caps, the width is the smaller
cross sectional dimension, whereas for square caps, the length and breadth are the same
dimension.
Threaded Caps:
These caps are female threaded. The thread can be either straight or tapered, also
referred as NPT. Generally, caps have a female thread and plugs have a male thread.
Tapered Caps:
These caps have tapered sides, which offers a close fit. Some of these fittings can be
used either as a cap or a plug. Tapered caps and plugs are multi-functional and go well
with male and female NPT threads, straight tubes and bars; and male straight threads.
These fittings have a tapered body to provide a secure and firm friction fit while facilitating
easy removal. The tapered caps are designed to provide protection for all internal and
external, threaded and non-threaded fittings against damage, dirt or moisture that can
occur.
Anti-roll Caps:
These caps are round in shape with a slightly square end. This prevents pipes and tubes
from rolling.
Pipe Coupling
are highly demanded in the pipe fitting market. Pipe couplings are fittings that help to
extend or terminate pipe runs. These fittings are also used to change pipe size. Couplings
extend a run by joining two lengths of pipe. They are known as reduced coupling if they
are used to connect pipes of different sizes.
Designs on couplings:
Couplings are available in various shapes and forms. The various designs available on
couplings can be as follows:

Pipe Elbow
Pipe elbow is a very important pipe fitting. When we talk about a pipe elbow, it means a
length of pipe with a sharp bend in it. Pipe elbows are fitting accessories which are used
widely in various industrial sectors in pipe fitting. A pipe elbow is frequently used in
pressurized applications and are available in various shapes and sizes for use in different
applications. A pipe elbow is a fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing
a change of direction, usually in the 90°or 45°direction.

www.steeljrv.com
Pipe elbows are usually constructed at a bend of 45 degree or 90 degree. There are some
manufacturers who can also manufacture pipe elbows with a selectable angle. Whether
you need a 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 bend or any bend in between, there are all the options available
in elbows. This becomes an easy-to-use two-piece elbow that can be cut and assembled
to virtually any angle. This ability of a custom made elbow is very unique and provides
installers with unmatched flexibility and convenience while at the same time greatly
simplifying the fitting of custom joints. Such elbows come complete with a two-piece
selectable angle elbow, angle measuring templates and installation instructions. A
diagrammatic representation of three sets of custom made pipe elbows:
They are manufactured to be used in flow lines for gases, fluids in industrial
processes, medical, construction and many other specialized applications.
The elbows are constructed of heavy materials for rigid applications like extreme
high/low temperature resistance etc.
The elbows are specifically designed for use on process and control systems,
instrumentation, and equipment used in chemical, petroleum, fluid power,
electronic and pulp and paper plants.

can be detached without causing any deformation to the pipes. Any kind of small diameter
piping connections requiring a positive seal and easy assembly as well as disassembly
are made with the help of pipe union. In other words, the pipe unions can disjoint two
pipes very easily. They are widely demanded in the pipe fitting market.
A nut
A female end
A male end
With the joining of the female and male ends, the nuts are used to provide the necessary
pressure to seal the joint.
The parts of the pipe union are normally locked together by at least one radial screw or nut
with sized cross section. When severe pulling stress is applied onto the pipe union from
the outside, the locking screw breaks and removes the two parts of the union, which in
turn separates together with the pipes to which they are attached. Under normal

Sleeves are used with slip fit pipes and they slip into each other. Generally, plastic pipes
are slip fit but they can also be threaded.
Types of connection
While you are embarking on the journey of buying pipe fittings, you must keep in mind that
there are two types of connectors. It may be that one end is female threaded while the
other female slip. Or it may be that one end is male slip while the other end is threaded
when you are talking about plastic fittings. Besides, they are also available with matching
ends, which can house all requirements.
Construction materials
It is a common phenomenon that the pipe fitting material should be same as the material
used in the pipe. Nevertheless, at times, certain materials can also be used in pipes of
made of any material.
Fitting type
In addition to the material of the pipe, the type of fitting should also be taken care of, which
include threaded or slip fitting and male or female fit.
Size
Pipe fittings size is measured in different ways at the outside and inside end. The outside
edge of the pipe fittings are measured in cases of male threaded fittings while in case of
female threaded fittings, size is measure from inside edge of the inlet.
