Pipe Fitting Specifications

Pipe fitting specifications mainly involve the pipe's diameter, wall thickness, and material. Diameter is the most basic specification parameter, determining the flow rate and velocity of the piping system. Wall thickness directly relates to the pipe's pressure-bearing capacity; a thicker wall results in a stronger pressure-bearing capacity, but also increases the cost. Regarding materials, pipe fittings can be manufactured from various metallic and non-metallic materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, copper, aluminum, and plastics. Different materials possess different physical and chemical properties, making them suitable for different working environments and media.
