Pipe Reducers: Concentric Reducers, Eccentric Reducers, Differences
Pipe reducers are vital components in piping systems. At its core, a pipe reducer is a type of pipe fitting designed to connect two pipes with different diameters. In other words, it enables the...
Consideration of Flanged Elbow or Flanged Bend in Stress Analysis
What is a Flanged Elbow? Flanged pipe bends or flanged elbows are piping elbows connected with flange fitting to fitting. This means there is no spool or pipe piece in between the elbow endpoint(...
What if Piping Continuation is Unknown? Part 1. Above Ground Piping
