Types and classifications of oil pipe couplings
Oil pipe couplings are an important accessory for connecting oil pipes. They can ensure that the connection of oil pipes is firm and prevent oil and leakage. According to different needs and application scenarios, oil pipe couplings can be divided into multiple types and classifications.
First, according to different materials, oil pipe couplings can be divided into two categories: metal couplings and non-metallic couplings. Metal couplings are usually made of materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel or cast iron, with high strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for high pressure and high temperature environments. Non-metallic couplings are mainly made of rubber, plastic or composite materials, with good sealing performance and chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for general industrial and civil fields. Secondly, according to different connection methods, oil pipe couplings can be divided into three types: threaded couplings, flange couplings and clamps. Threaded couplings are the most common type. They connect oil pipes through threads, are simple and convenient, and are suitable for low pressure and general working conditions. Flange couplings connect oil pipes through flanges, have high sealing performance and load-bearing capacity, and are suitable for high pressure and high temperature environments. A clamp is a coupling that is connected by clamping the tubing. It is quick and detachable, and is suitable for temporary connection and maintenance. In addition, depending on the diameter of the connecting pipe, tubing couplings can also be divided into different specifications and sizes. Common tubing coupling specifications include 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, etc. You can choose the appropriate size according to actual needs.
In general, there are many types and classifications of tubing couplings. According to different needs and application scenarios, you can choose the appropriate material, connection method and specification size. When using tubing couplings, you need to make the correct selection and installation according to the actual situation and the price of tubing couplings to ensure the firmness of the tubing connection and the reliability of the sealing performance.
