A pipe joint, often referred to as a pipe coupling or connection, plays a vital role in plumbing and piping systems. The primary function of pipe joints is to link two or more pipes or fittings, ensuring the smooth flow and structural integrity of fluids within the system.
Threaded Joint: These joints use male and female threads to screw pipes and fittings together, common in low-pressure applications, and easily taken apart.
Socket Weld Joint: Involves fitting a pipe into a socket and welding for a small-diameter, secure connection.
Butt Weld Joint: Formed by directly welding two pipe or fitting ends, creating a strong, leak-resistant link, typically for high-pressure and high-temperature use.
Flanged Joint: Connects pipes by attaching flanges to the ends and bolting them together, providing a robust, detachable connection.
Expansion Joint: An expansion joint is a flexible connection that allows for movement in piping and construction while preventing damage from temperature changes or dynamic forces.
Grooved Joint: Features grooves in the pipe ends, connected with a rubber gasket and coupling, suitable for non-welded, secure connections, commonly found in firefighting and industry.
