Welded Fittings: Introduction, Technical Specifications and Step-by-Step Installation Instructions


Introduction to Welded Fittings

Welded fittings use a connecting pipe to weld with the pipeline. An O-ring is used for end-face sealing between the fitting body and the connecting pipe. They feature a simple structure, easy manufacturing, and good sealing performance, with low requirements on the dimensional accuracy of the pipeline. However, they demand high welding quality and are inconvenient to assemble and disassemble. The maximum working pressure can reach 31.5MPa, and the working temperature ranges from -25℃ to 80℃. They are suitable for pipeline systems using oil as the medium.

Installation Instructions for Welded Fittings

  1. Cut the steel pipe vertically and prepare the groove in accordance with standards.

  2. Slide Nut 2 onto Welding Head 3, then weld the welding head and Pipe 5 together as per standards. During welding, take care not to splash weld beads into the pipe.

  3. Clean the welded area and grind it if necessary. The connection position must be clean and free of mechanical damage; use fine sandpaper for cleaning when required.

  4. Place the O-ring into the groove. The O-ring must be of the appropriate size, with a slight gap between it and the groove wall, and it should protrude approximately 0.4-0.6mm above the groove opening.

  5. First, tighten the nut by hand, then further tighten it with an appropriate torque. For reliability, use a solid wrench to hold the fitting body in place.

  6. Ensure the pipeline is properly fixed. Pipes with pre-installed welding heads should be connected to the fitting body in a straight manner to avoid bending stress. For pipes subject to dynamic loads, it is recommended that the spacing between pipe clamps be 1.5-2.0 meters.
