The pipe union is a common pipe connector that can be easily installed and disassembled. It mainly consists of a nut, a cloud head, and a flush joint. Its connection form is divided into socket welding and threaded connection. Socket welding is to insert a steel pipe into a socket for welding. Therefore, it is called a "socket union". The threaded connection is to screw a steel pipe into a screw hole for connection. Therefore, it is called "threaded union", and the main manufacturing standards are ASME B16.11, MSS SP 83. There are equal diameters and different diameters of socket unions. Hebei Sanvo is a quality stainless steel pipe union manufacturer and customizes threaded unions. Stainless steel threaded unions are cast from high-quality 304/316 stainless steel. And the threaded pipe unions connect two pipes together in a way that requires only one pipe to be turned when removing the union, facilitating repairs. And this steel pipe union also prevents galvanic corrosion when connecting pipes of dissimilar metals.
This guide answers all your questions about pipe unions. If you have been looking for information about stainless steel unions, look no further.
Here are the most direct yet detailed answers to basic questions you often ask about stainless steel threaded pipe unions.
Without further ado, here we go:
Unions are an alternative to flange connections in low-pressure small-bore piping where the dismantling of the pipe is required more often. Unions can be threaded ends or socket weld ends. There are three pieces in a union or a nut and a male or a female end. When jointing the male or female ends, the nuts provide the necessary pressure to seal the joint.
A pipe union is a pipe fitting equipment designed to unite two pipes that detached without causing any deformation to the pipes. In other words, the pipe unions can disjoint two pipes easily. They are in demand in the pipe fitting market.
A piping union is an easy-to-assemble and disassemble pipe fitting. It connects to plumbing using the threaded or welded technique, protecting pipelines from damage.
Classified by material: Stainless steel union, cast iron union, aluminum union, nickel union, copper union, brass union, bronze union, alloy union, plastic union, etc.
Classified by connection form: Socket union and thread union.
Basic types of pipe unions: Ground joint union and flange union. The difference between the two is that the former consists of three pieces while the latter two pieces
Here are various pipe union advantages, like providing a leak-proof disconnection point in any piping system. Used for inserting metering and regulating devices into any plumbing application.
Pipe unions are used in various municipal and industrial applications as follows:
Fire protection.
Process piping system.
Water and wastewater, etc.
Commonly, the union connection is formed by three parts: nut, female connector, and male connector (maybe two female connectors without male connector). This design makes the piping easy to remove and reconnection and does not cause damage to the plumbing itself.
There are various advantages of pipe unions like:
To provide a leak-proof disconnection point in any piping system.
Used for inserting metering and regulating devices into any plumbing application.
Can connect the piping system to vessels.
Can join two pipes of different sizes together.
Can easily remove the join between two pipes.
Easy to install.
Economical.
Threaded union refers to a pipe connection with thread, the most common type of pipe fitting in industry and life. The threaded union makes the connection of the pipeline simpler and easier to disassemble and replace, which greatly saves the cost of the pipeline connection. Threaded unions used in industry are generally of metal with high-pressure resistance. The materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, brass, etc.; threaded unions are used daily, including PC, PVC, PE, etc.
Stainless steel threaded unions are high-quality 304/316 stainless steel casts for greater strength and corrosion resistance. The threaded unions connect two pipes that require only one pipe to turn when removing the union, facilitating repairs. This steel pipe union also prevents galvanic corrosion when connecting pipes of dissimilar metals.
The pipe union has corrosion performance by 304 or 316 stainless steel in the plumbing system, corrosion resistance, and convenience when used in harsh environments or high humidity.
Stainless steel union has excellent mechanical strength and abrasive performance, not variant or damaged, suitable for high pressure or pipeline.
Precision manufacturing, the threaded part with a tight connection, can be effective in preventing leaks and enhancing the plumbing system's safety.
Easy to install and remove, not require other tools to reduce maintenance and replacement costs.
Stainless steel unions that can be joined with stainless steel, carbon steel, brass steel, and plastic pipe, high capability, flexible to use.
