Pipe nipples are also known as barrel nipples and threaded pipe nipples. Pipe nipples range from 1/8 to 8 inches and are made from carbon steel, brass, and stainless steel, each for a specific application.
Read MoreBoth carbon steel pipes and stainless steel pipes belong to metal steel pipes, but the content of metal elements contained in them is different, which also leads to the characteristics of stainless steel pipes that are more corrosion resistant than carbon steel but have a higher purchase cost. Typically, both have the same basic elements iron and carbon. The difference is carbon steel pipe has a 10.5% alloy content while stainless steel pipe has a chromium content of 10.5 % and more than it. Also, its essential difference is distinct physical characteristics.
Read MoreA plug is a male threaded fitting which seals the end run of a pipe when fitted into a female threaded fitting. An end cap is a female threaded fitting and is threaded over the end of a piece of pipe to seal it off. Caps and plugs prevent dirt, dust, moisture, liquids, and any other contaminants from entering the opening during manufacturing, masking, storage, and transportation.
Read MoreBrass is a copper alloy with a mixture of copper and zinc, and occasionally other metals. Stainless steel is an iron alloy mixed with chromium and nickel. While a more expensive option than brass, steel is a very durable, resilient metal. Steel is also able to work in more temperatures than brass and tends to last longer. Both stainless steel ball valve and brass ball valve are corrosion resistant, but stainless steel ball valves are the best options for high pressure and temperature situations.
Read MoreBlack pipe is made of steel as is galvanized pipe. The difference is that galvanized pipe is coated with zinc, while the black pipe is not. Black pipe is best used for gas lines, not for water lines because it rusts easily, while the galvanized pipe is the safer pipe to use in water lines, but it cannot be used to convey gas.
Read MoreA steel pipe is steel with a hollow section and its length is much greater than its diameter or circumference. There are many steel grades and specifications of steel pipe products, and their performance requirements are also various. All these should be differentiated according to user requirements or changes in working conditions. Generally, steel pipe products are classified according to cross-sectional shape, production method, pipe material, connection method, plating characteristics, and use.
Read MoreAs one of the quality steel pipes and fittings manufacturers, suppliers, exporters, factories in China, Hebei Sanvo supplies carbon steel and stainless steel pipes and fittings. And our pipe fittings can be customized according to drawings, samples, or special requirements of customers and send samples for free.
Read MoreSeamless and welded pipe main difference is that the seamless steel pipe can be seen from the outer surface, there is no gap in the whole body; the welded steel pipe has a welding gap. And the price of seamless steel pipes is generally higher than that of welded steel pipes. Seamless steel pipes are generally used in factories; welded steel pipes are generally used in construction. The pressure resistance of seamless steel pipes is higher than that of welded steel pipes.
