Advantages of Stainless Steel Grooved Pipe Fittings Connection
1. Simple Connection of Grooved Pipe Fittings
The connection operation of stainless steel grooved pipe fittings is very simple and does not require special professional skills. Ordinary workers can operate after simple training. This is because a large number of fine technical parts have been integrated into the finished products in a factory-based manner. The connection of pipe fittings only takes a few minutes, which greatly simplifies the technical difficulty of on-site operation, saves working hours, and thus stabilizes the engineering quality and improves work efficiency. This is also the general direction of the development of installation technology.
Traditional welding and flange connection methods for pipelines not only require skilled welding workers but also take a long time. The operation is difficult for workers and is accompanied by the pollution of welding fumes. Due to differences in operating space and welding skills, the quality and appearance of welding are difficult to achieve satisfactory results, which affects the overall quality of the project. In addition, since grooved pipe fittings are finished products, the operating space required on site is small, and they can truly be installed close to walls and corners, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation, saving floor space, and beautifying the effect of pipeline installation.
2. No Secondary Treatment Required for Grooved Pipe Fittings
When connecting stainless steel grooved pipe fittings, only a groove is squeezed on the outer surface of the connected pipeline using a grooving machine without damaging the internal structure of the pipeline. This is a unique technical advantage of grooved pipe fittings connection. If traditional welding operations are used, many pipelines with internal anti-corrosion layers will be damaged. Therefore, regulations stipulate that galvanized pipes, plastic-lined steel pipes, steel-plastic composite pipes, etc., shall not use welding and flange connections, otherwise secondary treatment is required.
3. Safe Construction with Grooved Pipe Fittings
Using the grooved pipe fittings connection technology, only a cutting machine, a grooving machine, and a wrench for tightening bolts are needed on site, making construction organization convenient. In contrast, welding and flange connections require complex power cables, cutting tools, welding machines, and oxygen and acetylene gas cylinders, which complicate construction organization and pose risks of electric leakage and fire hazards. Moreover, welding slag inevitably falls into the pipeline during welding and cutting, which can easily cause blockages in pipeline valves and even equipment during use, and also pollutes the water quality inside the pipeline.
Additionally, welding and flange connections inevitably require long periods of high-intensity work at heights, which can easily lead to production safety accidents.
4. Easy Maintenance of Grooved Pipe Fittings
The connection method of stainless steel grooved pipe fittings has unique flexibility, which gives the pipeline the ability to withstand vibrations, contractions, and expansions. Compared with welding and flange connections, the stability of the pipeline system is increased, making it more suitable for temperature changes and thus protecting pipeline valves and reducing the damage caused by pipeline stress to structural components.
Since the connection operation of grooved pipe fittings is simple and the required operating space is reduced, this brings many convenient conditions for future maintenance. When the pipeline needs to be repaired or replaced, simply loosen the two clamps to replace, rotate, or modify a section of the pipeline at will. There is no need to destroy the surrounding walls, reducing maintenance time and costs.
