Guide To Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings
                     GUIDE TO STAINLESS STEEL PIPE FITTINGS
INTRODUCTION
Brass pipe fittings were predominantly 
employed in the industrial and commercial 
sectors until stainless steel came along and 
pushed it to the next level. After viewing the 
amazing advantages of stainless steel for 
various applications, the change in material 
preferences happened swiftly!
Stainless steel is being used to manufacture 
not only pipe fittings but also flanges and 
instrumentation valves.
What Are the Different Types 
of Pipe Fittings?
A pipe fitting is a device that connects the 
bores of two (or more) pipes or tubes to 
different pieces of equipment. Pipe fittings 
can also be used as a fluid flow control 
device, according to manufacturers of 
stainless steel pipes & fittings. Pipe 
fittings can also be used to close and seal 
any pipe.
Pipe Fittings are available in 
two types.
Male and female pipe fittings are the two types of 
pipe fittings available. What is the distinction?
On the inside of threaded pipe fittings, female 
threads are utilised, while male threads are used on 
the outside. One end of a pipe fitting is usually 
female, whereas the other is male. Street fittings are 
what they're called. Pipe fittings can be used to join 
pipes and tubes in the following ways:
Using Threading
In this technique, threaded (metal) pipes are threaded together to connect 
to conventional fittings and pipes.
By use of slip-fit
These pipes have sleeves that make it simple to insert one pipe into another 
tube fitting.
What are the Benefits of Stainless Steel Pipe 
Fittings?
Stainless steel is a type of steel that has a high resistance to corrosion. A 
passive oxide film forms on the steel, which allows it to self-repair. The 
resistance qualities of this protective layer improve as the chromium and 
molybdenum levels rise. Stainless steel alloys for pipelines typically contain 
17-18 percent chromium and 8-12 percent nickel. The most widely used pipe 
fittings are stainless steel 304 pipe fittings and stainless steel 316 pipe fittings.
Tips to Make Choosing Pipe Fittings Easier
There are many various types of pipe fittings available, which can make it difficult 
for consumers to select the most appropriate one for their needs. The following are 
some helpful hints to make the selecting process go more smoothly.
Every fitting features two separate connector types, with one end being male 
threaded and the other being female threaded. In the same way, one end could be 
threaded while the other has a male slip.
Construction Materials: There isn't a fixed guideline here, according to experts. 
However, pipe fittings made of the same material as the pipe to which the fittings 
will be mounted are preferable. In other circumstances, however, this rule is not 
followed.
